Maybe unlike you I have seen both sides of the coin? I don't see the UK through 'new eyes', just really appreciating things around me more rather than taking everything for granted as a lot of us do when we've never lived anywhere else bofore.

I certainly don't think it 'sad' that we went to Oz to realise that the UK is our home, we've had a great adventure and seen parts of the world we may never have seen.

You don't know me, so how can you 'presume' that we went to OZ without reasearch and much diliberation? :confused: Can I just explain to you that no amount of visiting or research can prepare you for homesickness, isolation or what it feels like to not be able to get employment.

Thanks for you sympathy but it's not needed, we aren't sorry we went, we haven't failed. We've come out this end better people and with more confidence to have more success in the things we do here. Of course it was our choice to go to OZ and it was our choice to return.

Here, here totally agree with you Janeyray, what makes me laugh is that a lot of people who post these type of posts haven't even left for the airport yet and I hope for their sakes that they don't live to eat their words in 6,12 months, 5, 10 years!!

Anyhow as I have laready said glad to hear you have arrived home safely.

Susan
:D
