You feel you needed and wanted your family around you, other people cant wait to get away from their families, so in all areas opinions differ.
But to say is OZ, NZ & Canada are shite is a little narrow minded dont you think?

I'd had an emmotional day.. I really was upset, but everything is fine now and I shall try to get back to troll catching and not upsetting people.

Sorry to ramble but you should never slate someone for wanting to be close to their family, friends or their childhood crush.

Merlot, i was not slating anyone for wanting to be close to family & friends, i was merely trying to point out that there is two sides to every coin. Not everyone has a great network of family & friends, for those that do you are very lucky, for those that dont be confident that emigrating was the right decision for you & your immediate family.

Re: Help!!!
hiya michaela,
have only just read this thread - you must be releived to have made the decision to come back to the uk.
having been on this site for a couple of years, the major thing i have learned is to have a plan b - reading peoples' posts about missing family etc has really made me think about how my kids will be affected, and we made the decision ages ago that once in aus we would give it 2 years to get citizenship, but come straight back to the uk if one of us didnt settle for whatever reason in aus. That I have learned from this site and all its contributors.
I hope we get to meet up before you come back michaela...looks like it will be a long time before we get there though!
good luck, and enjoy making the plans to come back!

Thanks Sue,
We may have more chance of meeting in the uk than here at this rate!
We had the same deal, and when discussing it with my husband this week he said he didnt actually think i'd come here and was expecting me to back out before we left as he knew I was always ambivalent. Am still surprised at the strength of my longing to go home though. Hope you get here Sue, I wont be one who starts slagging of Aus, I knew it wasnt perfect before I came but still think its a great place to live, its just not for us!
Speak to you soon,
Michaela x

Life has moved on, that's all.
