Guest rayman1 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 All back in sunny UK. Kids back in school, got a lovely rental, cars, job interviews and everyone so glad to see us. Will remember our 5 months in Brisbane and do not regret going to Australia. At least we now know it was not for us. Will keep you posted about our future adventures and thanks for everyone who wrote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chris955 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Glad to hear it is working out for you, lets be honest if you couldn't settle in Queensland then you couldn't settle anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SophieKin Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Really pleased you have settled back into the UK. Have read a few of your posts and I know how much you wanted to go back. It is encouraging to know you have a nice rental and job interviews set up. The best of luck to you and your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rayman1 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hi all. Rayman1 here. All good at moment. Moved into lovely 3 bed rental today. Wife has more job interviews lined up (shes a lawyer) and I have got some in the pipeline. Kids over the moon to be back. Son was at a party at weekend (he's 16) and daughter has been with her mates since coming home. They said they will not miss Australia one bit!! Wife alittle cheesed off with the upheaval again and the moving around but hopefully will come round. I absolutely love it back here but have changed alot of my outlooks of life. No more getting wrapped up in what muslims are doing, how rubbish the weather is, teenage pregnancies etc. They do not affect our life. We live in a nice area of England and am happy with our lot. We can afford things and do lots. We do not hibernate 8 months of the year, are not bothered about familiarity (I have been with my wife 25 years, not going to get rid of her because she is familiar LOL) and have come to the conclusion that England is a lovely country and moving to the other side of the world is not the answer to everything. We will be far happier here than anywhere on the planet. Best wishes to all of you out there, be it Oz or UK and be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracy123 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Good on ya Rayman Well it looks like Australia was just what you needed to make you enjoy your home and hopefully your wife will see how happy everyone is. All the best to you mate Geoffrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
