Just booked my flight home..going on 5th October!

Feeling a mixture of things...happy, scared of the future back home, bit disappointed in myself that I only lasted 8 months, sad about leaving my aussie fiance behind here...but 99% sure its the right thing to do..

Good luck to everyone else on BE hoping to head back 'home'!!!

Karni
:-)

Good luck to you too

Everybody's going home...the UK is going to sink!!!

Wow that's only 2 weeks away...all the very best.

That's what i was thinking..so many going home

Just shows that there will be so many everyday going back, we only know of the ones who post on BE.

I have been thinking of going home from the day I got here...Its taken me this long to follow it through!
Feels good overall..getting excited about seeing my family and everything...Its easier for me I guess in that I dont have kids and can just pack up and go..though I am leaving behind my fiance (which isnt easy)

Best of luck to everyone else thinking of taking the leap!

I remember you now...it can't have been an easy decision to make. Still I always think everything happens for a reason...it may not seem that way at the time but when you look back after a few years you can see it was for the best.

Good luck karni.

We're going home on 17th Ocober and have only been here 8 months too. Some people don't even last that long...a guy from Kents told me there's a record number of people returning to the UK. Some even have their container sent back the moment it docks. At least you have given it a go!!

I feel the same as you, excited, scared, worried for the future, will we be living in my parents 3 bed bungalow for months and months to come? Who knows what the future holds. All I know is I'd rather face the music in the UK than stay here and be unhappy constantly thinking about going back...at least my mind will be a little more settled than it is now.

It sounds like you're doing the right thing and I wish you all the luck in the world. A new beginning, a new life! Just take each day as it comes and all will be well!

Best wishes
Debi

Hi Karni - I remember exchanging a couple of posts with you a while back when you were still undecided about returning home, glad you've now come to a decision.

I would imagine you are bound to have mixed feelings about your return - especially as it involves leaving your Aussie fiance behind but FWIW I totally think you are doing the right thing - by coming home I'm sure it will become clear what is really important in your life - you may feel a huge surge of relief at being home and know 100% it was the right thing to do or it may become clear your fiance is more important than you think and then you may have to re-think - either way you probably need to come home and sort it all out in your head.

Who knows what may happen in the future, I think none of us can be 100% sure of what we are doing in life and just when you think it's all sorted and you've made a final decision, life has a funny way of throwing a spanner in the works and surprising you!!!

Good luck for your return Karni, hope all goes well.
