Re: NZ (Auckland) vs Tenerife

Together we would have a combined income of about $160k. Is this enough to live on?

Re: NZ (Auckland) vs Tenerife

The NZ job won't be on offer in a year though. Plus it isn't good for or CVs to have a job of a year. Plus my husband is in his 40s, not many companies look to hire after you're a certain age.

Re: private schools. Anyone got their kids in?

I had my kids at 'Christ the King' in Graceville. They loved it and were very happy. They are devastated they had to leave and still a year on remind me how much they miss it.

Thank you Clappy. I guess this is what we're concerned with although we'd have to balance that with what we could actually afford.

Re: Best of British

I have a friend working for BHS. She's been there 19 yrs.
