DH and I have had a really tough year and we've spent a lot of time sitting back thinking about the quality of our lives. We've decided that we want to move to a bigger house but by the sea (currently live just outside London). This will enable me to downgrade my job thereby spending far more time with both our girls (something I desperate to do) and my husband to get out of the city (something he is desperate to do). BUT any area with good schools and/or easy commute into London would mean small house and both of us have had enough of feeling like we're living on top of each other. We're after a ramshackled old house with plenty of area for the kids to run around and spread out. But this would be at the expense of the quality of their schools. Is it worth it?

Would you/Have you moved to an area that would give all the family a better standard of living but doesn't have good schools???
