Thinking of selling up and moving to Ireland with DH and two young children under 2. We could afford to buy a property with no mortgage over there as properties are so cheap. We both have Irish backgrounds and have family over there plus DH went to Uni over there and lived there for 6 years. So it is not as if we are going to an unknown place.

We hope to have another child/more children and London is becoming stressful and very expensive. DH would obviously need a job (he is a teacher and also a musician) but he could perhaps work for himself perhaps as a tutor/music teacher. I was also thinking I could do childminding.

I am looking for positive stories from people who have done something similar/know someone who has. Lots of people in real life telling me I am mad - so am I really living 'inadreamworld' or is this doable?

Thanks everyone! FurryDog your story is good to hear, may very well PM you with questions!

We are also considering renting out our London flat to start with so we have an exit strategy if it all goes pear shaped....we can live with DHs Mum for a bit if we need to.

I also need to find out about Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit in Ireland as I get both of those over here in UK.
