I don't think that's necessary and certainly not how I read it. Homesickness, peoplesickness and a family business sound like good enough reasons to me, whether they end up being the wrong reasons or not.

Ping ponged, not once, but twice and now saving up like mad idiots to go again:huh:

We came back twice because of emotional rubbish and nothing changed and now we need to do what it right for ourselves.....

I just wish it didnt cost so much.

Oh and no one knows of our intentions either.....its going to destroy my Mum:(

Same as us, we ping ponged twice and now on third time lucky as we are trying hard to get back. Did you buy and sell you houses each time? We did and cars as well.
At least we are a bit more experienced in the moving now so think we will do things a little bit different this time. What about you?
