Oh my goodness. I'm feeling like hubby and I need something to look forward to. His favourite guitarist is playing on 28th Sept 20 mins from where we are moving back to. He'll be so chuffed if I get him tickets....... we've not done anything like that since being pregnant with our first child!!!!

Well it was finances that really was holding us back from a decision. Both hubby and I have health problems and reaching the point that I was losing it emotionally we decided it wasn't worth it. I will miss here and my friends but I really couldn't take the thought of being here for a couple of years longer. Of course I'll worry I'm making a mistake but if we stayed I think I was close to a break down. We've kind of been preparing for the move so hopefully we can sort out a few things in the short time. I want to get back and get my health back on track and the kids into school. It's hubby that is going to have to adjust. He also has to be back by the end of sept. He's 2 years through a msc. It's a rolling course and this is his last chance to finish year 3 as if he didn't take a break.

Fingers crossed it all works out. Thanks for all the support.

Thank you. :)

Knocking one thing over at a time!!! Rather be stressed for 10 days. Going to get screwed by the property manager. I can feel it!!!!!

Pencilled in for shippers to come Monday / Tuesday.

The big one is to sell things. Car, fridge / freezer, gas heater, car seats.... Breathe. It will work.

I'm looking forward though to getting back and getting my health sorted or at least managed with some support around me, hubby and kids....

Thank you everyone. I'm really exciting and quite enjoying the process to :) been a long time coming. Might be stressful towards the end of the week. It does feel easier than the 1st we moved internationally. Not all those new experience feelings :)

P....just take each day as it comes and try not to look back......and look on it as another adventure...one where you will do certain things differently than when you last lived in the U.K.....if say you went to Asda to do all your shopping and it was around the corner to where you use to live...then go to a different supermarket chain....if you never did visit the next town nearest to you...go and see what you might of been missing....we have settled in a different area....and so far we are really enjoying ourselves....anytime we have spare we try and do something a bit different.....and you do not always have to be rich to do that either....bus,coach and train can be very cheap if you book in advance or look up "specials"...even if it's to the next village,town...City etc....we have visited parks we have not been to in years...towns we have heard of and not very far and now visited....we explore here like we did when we arrived in Aus.....try to think positive and you should be fine....your coming back to nice weather...Bonfire Night, Christmas and New Year is around the corner...all the "German and Christmas Markets" will be here......take care and all the best.....
