Hi all. Shiny new thread.

here she goes again......

On the other hand if I could have smuggled back a kookaburra I would have done!

Why are these parents waltz so sure their kids will thank them for moving to Australia with no grandparents no cousins etc, my two kids love being close to family!

Waltz not sure what that was suppose to be!!

He is there and the rest of the family are making the move too, she looks happy with the decision.

I hope they have a great time.

Do we ever get to see any of these people actually in their new life in Aus

Next door !!!! God she's going to miss them!

Jeez, her parents lived next door! That is going to be a wrench.

Going to be hard though if shes use to her mum living next door

are going to have more tears before the end of the show??

Hello !!!
It's up and down tbh.
DH started one job, got made redundant within 6 weeks, he now has another better paid job but of course that set us back.

We've been disappointed with the schools and accommodation to rent, dire and very expensive.
I don't think we're here forever it's a nice experience for the children and mine are enjoying the weather, making friends etc and we are making more of our weekends than we used to but the novelty of the beach may wear off.
Or we may look at Sydney once the older three have finished school but before the little one does.

Parents were next door? They'll get the parents moving over I bet.

Oh gosh yes, tears galore, she's got to get on the plane yet!

I wish they'd get on with it. My dishwasher won't unload itself, you know.

God she's a whinger.

Well of course it is harder for her than the kids - of course, yes.

Are they buying or renting?

Renting I think

renting i think

more tears!!!!!

God, does she ever stop blubbing?!

Well kids really are more resilient than most give credit for. Adults have a much harder time coping with change ( has been the way with our own int'l move)

Because our experience do renting is that it is a free for all with everyone interested viewing for the Same half hour. We viewed one place with 25 other couples/families!

bet she crys on arrival as well
