So they want me to give it a go while im still young enough (53 in feb lol) and if i dont like it i can go back. My family in UK all know i am going back but they dont know that it could be a permanent thing and i wont say anything in case i decide its not for me (i have been in NZ for 34yrs and it will be 4 yrs since i have been back to the UK....).

Just wondering really if anone else is flying out on that day on Air NZ via LA.....Oh and Happy New Year...
Cheers
Cally x

Ha ha no it didnt make me think that, i know they are probably feeling a little frustrated at seeing me get into a rut since i split from my sons dad 8yrs ago and every time i saw them it was so have you booked yet lol so they decided to take matters into their own hands ha ha nope not the DIL idea we get on well and they have said for me to come back to their place in NZ if i dont like it.

They understand my main issue has been going and being away from my 4 grandsons so in a way this is kind of a bit of a test for me lol they were going to book a return but decided it was best to let me make that decision when the time comes..But it was a wonderful gift and i will give it my best shot and let you all know how i get on!

But when you opened the gift, if just for an instant, did the one way part make you think When I read that I certainly smiled. Hopefully, it was not the DIL idea?
