Coooeeee everyone -update from me!!!
 
Well hello peeps, long time no speak!!

Anyway here i am again & back online properly!

So what have been up to??.... Well i now have my own home- well a 2 bed council house! But its ours & we are very happy indeed. I cant believe i didnt come home sooner as its the best thing i ever did! the only downside is the amount of weight ive gained from proper home english cooking! :(

Megy is settled well now & goes to nursery 2 days a week. She loves it & it certainly gives me a break.

My social life is picking up, well not great but much better than ' OVER THERE'! I dont have a man as TBH i cant be bothered! I am much better with my marriage break up now & have not cried for nearly 4 weeks! Found a lot of evidence on email that pointed to him speaking to girls b4 i left. he has admitted to missing me this week & supposedly still loves me. Unfortuantely he wont come back so his loss. he is about to be there totally alone as his son is also coming back here to live with his mum. ive tried talking him into coming home for his kids buts he wont so its up to him!

Anyway, how is everyone that i remember - Lynne & mick, Stu, Louise D, Birdy & loads i cant think of now. Hope those that came back to UK are also totally settled too!

I hope to try 7 post a bit more now, though not easy when you have a very lively 2 year old!!

Lots of love

Glad to hear you have a house and you're both more settled now, and also that your emotional well-being is doing better! :D

Oh Jude you sound so happy!! It's pretty daunting making the decision to return and obviously in your case even more so. But now at least you know you made the right move and it was all worth it. Well done on the house too.

I'm still really happy here and although there are certain things I miss about Oz, I'm thoroughly enjoying being home and totally appreciate everything so much more - I would never go back there to live.

It's so lovely to hear from you and to know that you and Meggy are well and happy - keep enjoying :thumbsup:

Great to hear from you again Jude.

Its nice to see that you appear to be happy again and things are working out for you! :thumbsup:

I'm also enjoying being back, although I do still have moments where I miss Oz etc, mainly cos I'd like to be by the sea and in the sun again, but I can always overcome that problem a few times a year by hopping on a plane for an hour or two!

Good to hear from you anyway and keep in touch.

Hi Jude,
remember me welshlass,:) I was only wondering how you were going just last week,well its nice to know that you both sound happy and settled back there, and that life is returning to how you want it to be.
My daughter has just told us that she too is going back to the UK taking our two granddaughters with her, as you can imagine we are heartbroken but as she is not happy here what can we do? we only want her to be happy so if this what she wants so be it. On the plus side all my family are there so she has a good support unit & her and her fiance have decided to give it another go. So even though its not going to be easy for any of us we have to support her in her decision, even though i'm loosing my best friend......
So its mixed emotions at the moment but hopefully it will get better.
Take care, and good luck.

Hi I'm so glad you are happy, yours was one of the fist thread I read on EXPats, you had just arrived home on your own with your daughter and husband still in Aus...and I thougt..."if you can do all that on your own then how soppy am I !!!" so we made our descision and home here we come..so thank you for giving me the courage no not courage but to see that there is a light at the end of what can be a very dark tunnel for some....
Good luck with everything and hopefully one day you will find a partner that truly deserves you....give it time....time is a great healer....
Thanks
Jackie in Perth but good old home is where we are bound!!!
ps thanks to everyone else out there...you are a tower of strength and good luck with everything......
