Wanted Down Under 2014

[MrsReiver]

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

Maybe they should join up with the couple who wanted to move to NZ so the husband could be a snowboard instructor while the wife worked full time as a psychologist.

I bet the wives would have a great laugh together!

I felt a bit sorry for her, he just seems like all he wanted to do was surf, nothing to do with family time.

I hope she and the girls are happy and settled in australia and he has returned to the uk miserable.

Ooh I need to do some catching up. In the meantime, anyone who likes to be a bit of a voyeur on Ozzie home life, I just discovered Cone Dine With Me Downunder.

Anyone watching today ? I like this family

Morning. YY i am watching. I remember this family. I think we commented how pretty the Mum was last time.

Oo, that house in the middle of nowhere is amazing!

No-one for miles, luxury

Oooh, they're from my area...

Can't picture her going anywhere, honestly. Norfolk has that way with people

Bahahahaha, what's the point in 10 acres if it's in the middle of nowhere

They are wearing matching outfits at the school. I can't cope.

They are being really sensible. Makes a nice change.

Why would they even consider a 500k nzd home on only a 60k salary...?!?

You do feel sad for Teo's family. Losing one brother/son, then another emigrates.

They made the move then !

Wow! Very surprised by that

Good result by the sound of it. Still feel sorry for Teo's family though.

I like this family.

Despite wife not wanting to go really, she compromised for her husband. The DC seemed to fit in well too.

Hope it works out for them. :)

I am unsure whether they will stay or not. I would like them to do a revisited in a year or two and see where they are then.

Amanda the mum doesnt seem happy.

Was the mum (Amanda?) not able to work in NZ? That might have helped her to fit in - make more friends etc.

I didn't hear any mention of it.

She seemed quite unhappy at the end . It ended with her saying Teo is happy and the kids are happy.

Absolutely no mention of how she felt.

Yeah, the bloke is usually the, 'driver' for the move. I'd never heard of the expression, 'take one for the team' until I emigrated to NZ.

It's usually the mum that puts up with being unhappy living overseas as she can see her husband/partner and children being happily settled and does not want to upset the applecart.

Morning.

I remember this family. He got on my nerves the first time around.

I am watching today although the spectre of DH is looming! I have certainly heard that expression "take one for the team" many times, it's not a Downunder term.
This thread is nearly full but I can't find that other one. Can anyone link?
I remember today's couple but not any detail, they all blur into one!

Have started a new thread but not sure how to link on my phone

Shiny new thread
