Re: Single guy in London or Melbourne - which would let me save more?

At the end of it all, I know that you're right. I've got one iron in the fire in the UK, based purely on reaching out to the head of the company directly, and we'll see what comes of that. Funnily...

Re: Single guy in London or Melbourne - which would let me save more?

She doesn't really want to move from SA, so the UK route would be a win/win, other than us missing each other of course. I'd get UK citizenship over time and then see how things turn out from there....

I'm very aware of time running out. It's why I've made the decision to act now - the universe is pushing me to make it happen :fingerscrossed:

Re: Best area in SE to rent with four dogs
