2 1/2 yrs it will be. I think, certainly enough time to gain experience of living abroad and definitely not seen as a move back, but a move onward...

Yes, that's very philosophical. I think I might take that as my, 'mantra'. For any move to the UK in the future.

Yep....but kids ages are complicating things...also worry about getting jobs...me 44 OH 48.....Also don't want big mortgage - have had one since I was 18.....still not paid it off

We thought we could get it paid off when we came here...but that's a big NO!!! everything has gone up so much in the last few years...

Anyway...good luck to you & yours....Have a great trip home

8 yrs for us....way too long....gained the experience & so over it!!!!

I love your way of looking at it...."Not a move back.....but a move onward!!!!"

I always talk about it as the "next chapter" in our lives.....

Good Luck

When you have kids it always complicates things more but depending on their ages they will be fine.
We decided 3 years ago we wanted to leave NZ, took us 3 more years due to the kids but I finally made it back in December.
We are your age, jobs etc have been fine and I'm loving being home, even though we moved somewhere we had never been before on our return, its great!
Good Luck
