Oh well, you've saved me a lot of time, money and effort, thanks! New Zealand it is then.

A very mixed bunch we are arn't we

Just goes to show that it you can take some of us out the UK and spread us all over the world, but when push comes to shove, home will always be the UK.

that everyone who wants to get back does.

And for those who end up staying, that they find peace and some joy with their new homes.

I hear you! I had a bad few days, teddy went out the pram, I had a bloody good cry and I felt very sorry for myself. However after I put up a thread on here I got some lovely, kind, positive replies and it got me through. Keep telling those negative thoughts to bugger off!!!!

Have a safe trip and let us know how you're doing after so long in the US!

I'm just outside Hollywood in Los Angeles. Been in the US 15 years (10 years in LA and 5 years in NYC) Was planning on moving back to the UK next May however we've brought the move date up and are HOPING to be back by August this year!!!!

Just getting the house ready to put on the market. Very stressful!!

I'd seriously check out this place before coming - you just might be in for a surprise - like most of us

Well, I've been on holiday there and have known several Kiwis over the years. They don't seem feral.
