Default Returning to the UK: where are you in the process?

While frequenting the MBTTUK forum, you see a lot of familiar faces. Some of us already have plans in place, while others are just thinking of moving back at this stage.

I just thought it would be interesting to do a quick poll, to see who's where in the process of moving back.

It should be a public poll (if I do this right!).

As the poll says, in the process but no exact date as yet. Wish I did and then everything else should fall into place.

Good luck to everyone which ever stage your at.

I knew that I wouldn't do the poll think right - I never do. Ah, well.

We're off on the 21st July. I've gone from being really sad about leaving Aus to really looking forwards to being back in the UK. Most things are sorted; just need to find somewhere to live now.

We are about 2-3 years away from moving back (from NZ) we are trying Oz first before finally going 'home'...aaaahhhh...
And about 6-8 months before we leave NZ (or sooner if we can)

I'm in a situation where one of us has already gone back and I'm waiting to sell the house and follow. It's a horrible state to be in and I wouldn't recommend it.

We don't have a car. We live very close to the CBD in Sydney and have just never had a need for one. So that's something we don't have to worry about at least.
