don't know about NZ but here in the USA I have been 20 yrs and got 1 real good mate.......had many friends in England but people are different here......I am sick and tired of feeling I am in a rat race and I am the only rat running

Re: 4 days to go....
 

We too are off home in 2 days from New Zealand.

Had 9 months here and look forward to being home.

Scared, excited, worried, all at once, but sure it will be OK.

Re: 4 days to go....
 

LOL - I feel exactly the same mate except I cannot even say that one exists. Having just returned from london and having things to do/people to meet with every night, it just makes me feel even more glum about residing here for the rest of our life.
Good luck to everyone on this thread that is returning - although you may be in a worse position finanacially at least you can look forward to the social life...

Re: 4 days to go....
 

you can't go home?......I just woke up and realized that 1/2 my life is over and do I want the rest of it here and it scared the hell out of me

Re: 4 days to go....
 

Good luck, sure it will be OK.

Do what I always do and ask yourself 'what is the worst that can happen?'

Oh yes....you might want to come back... :scared: :scared: :scared:

Re: 4 days to go....
 

LOL.. if I ever miss life in NZ, big if, I will remind myself what we went through and then turn off the central heating and say "nah bugger being that cold again".

I might even take some Watties Tomato sauce home just to add the icing on the cake. LOL

Re: 4 days to go....
 

Hey Scottish good luck with your move mate. We are almost packed, then when our stuff is on its way we book our flights and were off. Walked through Hagly park today to meet the family after work and was a little sad, but then i remembered seeing the big log truck outside a neighbours house dropping off firewood. Then it all came flooding back....chopping wood in the rain, dragging it in the dark, waiting for the house to heat up, waking up in the morning with my ears hurting because they are frozen ( no kidding ) scraping out the fire before it lights, hoping the wood is not wet because of the wind and rain....etc etc etc. Then go to work and hope the house does not burn down. Aaahhhh the memories. :scared:

Re: 4 days to go....
 

Funny enough we were looking at rentals on the net and there was a cracker that had a lovely woodburner in the livingroom........... but it still had central heating lol.

Good luck to you to mate.

Christ, you could be talking about us there!! we were in Dunedin and that was our entire frigging life... buying wood,chopping wood, moving wood, drying wood, trying to light the wood, it went on and on. People tell us we have 'the lifestyle' in NZ... yeah right.. the wood lifestyle! my husband may have been only 4 minutes from work but he would give himself an hour every morning just to sort out the fire! he he.. won't miss all that.

Re: 4 days to go....
 

Good luck Scottish and Deb and Chris and any others. Think of you all-and your dog Scottish!
Let us know how you get on.

Re: 4 days to go....
 

EXACTLY!!! My only regret is that I did not start this process of going home YEARS ago!
Best of luck to you all that are returning soon. Please let us know all the joys of being home. It gives us a bit of happiness while we await our return date.
