Wanted down under 2

[susiedaisy]

Have started a new one

Someone got what they wanted from the BBC.

Yes I've seen that on FB, glad it's not just us that thought it was sad episode and that the parents were odd.

I too thought it was very sad, poor girl is virtually living alone if she has her own living room, her bedroom, her parents always out. She would quite probably be happier at boarding school.

Sad episode. Poor girl. Hope she moves over at 18 and never contacts them again. They probably wouldn't notice.

Meets was a selfish bitch. I was very watching it, especially when she kept saying if 'I am left alone' or 'if I have to return to the UK'. They totally work those hours as they hate each other. Poor, poor Bea - all she wanted was time with her parents .... For me that would be enough to say YES given that I would be slightly better off and would have hours more to spend with her.
And their own house was nothing special!
Sound like a bitch I know but it made me so angry

Mum not meets!

I taped this one and watched it this afternoon - was shouting at the screen. The parents were wankers.

Mum doesn't see her DD Mon-Fri, Dad barely sees her either. They both kept going on about 'family and friends' in UK - so do they see them at the weekend instead of their DD?

I hated them, proper hated them.

I don't get why a 16 hour day wins

Lots of families work long hours and see the children less than they would like but I think what bothered me about this was that it seemed as if the parents were happy with the arrangement of not seeing their child. I don't actually think they wanted a better work life balance.

Finally a realistic one...

this lot seem reasonably realistic

I am sure they just said they lived in Poole near Dorset, last I knew Poole was IN Dorset

they look like they have a fairly outdoorsy lifestyle anyway

exactly!! already have it at home

Already sniffling

GOOOOOOOO

Nice people but she seems uncertain. Did they not discuss this before they got married?

DH is a 'forriner' and I told him in no uncertain terms that I would leave the UK...

this one will never fly, she's just looking for reasons to rule it out

Oooh, I'm not liking her so far.

this one will be interesting. at least they are realistic from the off.

She's got a tiny bit of an accint already, no?

Wardrobe sponsored by Joules and miniBoden today

He must have an idea of where he wants to live in NZ and already looked at house prices, comparable salaries, schooling etc

Bless him, but Digby Suckling sounds like a character in Wolf Hall

Morning all. I am liking these people.

The sad thing is that I dream of
Moving to Poole- they are already living my dream. In just sitting here twisting my Poole/ London flags.
