Wanted Down Under 2014

[MrsReiver]

I know all you addicts are out there! I am not the only one.

Jesus the butterfly farm is a place of nightmares.

I don't even know why I'm watching this show.

I can't imagine Glenn as a stay at home dad.

Will they, won't they???

What about looking at a couple who have say £700k to spend. Not difficult if you have a house in London that you will sell. Getting a bit fed up of people who want pools, cut down on their work hours (or even give up their job!), lots of bedrooms and then wonder why the cost of living is more expensive - you cannot have everything and moving to the opposite side of the world will not answer all your problems.

And looking up thread - why is there a rule that you mustnt have visited before. What a daft ruling. How do you know what its like if you have never been there!

They say they will, but I'll bet they won't, or they will be still thinking about it. Holiday sparkle will wear off.

Hi hand cream. I am sure I have heard tales of people who indeed had been there before. Like they met backpacking etc.

There have definitely been people on it who have been to Australia before.

They've already moved!

Upon returning to the UK, Glenn and Sue set about making their dream of emigrating down under a reality. In August 2013, the family left the UK for Auckland, New Zealand. Sue now works full time and Grace and Jack have settled in to their new school. After a few teething problems the family have purchased a property in Pukekohe and have already begun to make new friends. A visit from some family in the UK helped ensure their first Christmas down under was a happy one.

I bet they didn't too! Anyway, Homes under the Hammer anyone?

Err, ok. I bet they did!!

Ok I was totally wrong! But happy for them. Hope she is ok working so long hours, she was wobbling a bit on that.
And it was so quick! Good for them! I am pretty sure, however, that he'll get a p/t job in short course.

there was one couple with the husband having previously lived in Aus many years previous, so not sure if that's a new rule?

Looks like they went in the end....

I still would like a couple who are perhaps both working (just like my DH and I!) in professional roles and seeing what they can buy.

No HUTH, although this sounds like a contradiction, I hate property shows! See you tomorrow x

Oh loving this thread as WDU is my guilty pleasure.

Thanks for the update bisjo. I really liked this family and hope it works out for them.

However, I didn't understand why they just didn't downsize a bit in the UK and both work part time.

Gosh, they actually did go. I'm surprised.

Oh this gon' be good!

This guy is one of us!!

OH MY GOD, I go to the gym with her! She is really nice but I am not friends with her as such, just polite chat at the gym.

Obviously she hasn't gone then Vodka??

They've not made the move then vodka ? Not surprised I can't see him changing his mind !

Not yet they havent, she works in a shop in town and I saw her in there last month.

I like him, he's realistic and isn't seeing everything through rose coloured specs.
