Oh I want to slap the Mother.....selfish git. Why cant she say she would wnat them to do whats best for the family mot me me me.

My Mum really laid the guilt on us and made it all about her when we looked into emigrating...it really put the pressure on and took the shine off...Then went abroad herself

She would miss IKEA :) do they have IKEA in NZ?

Vagndidit · 30/01/2015 10:01

That makes 0 for 5 for this week's decisions. Down Under not winning anyone.

Bring in Revisited next week! Crossing fingers we'll be in touch with poor Brendan.

FB update the mil has moved closer to the family to make sure they don't goGrinGrin. I mean to be closer and more involved with the grandchildren.

I knew her mum would be hard work from the start of the program - that's probably the main reason he wants to go back to NZ!

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 30/01/2015 10:04

when the family back home do the guilting to couples who want to move because of bollocks lifestyle, I can kinda get it

but when it's a case like this one, where it's one family in the UK and the other in NZ, I think it's really unfair

dillite · 30/01/2015 10:06

They were awfully realistic and level headed, weren't they? How am I supposed to pick on them?

I did love the house number 2. I want to live there.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 30/01/2015 10:08

Todays family actually looked at it sensibly at least. Good on the Dad for admitting it might not work.
Who is Brendan?

forago · 30/01/2015 10:08

I know. Normal, nice, realistic. Poor Courtney :(

nonicknameseemsavailable · 30/01/2015 10:11

Brendan was a poor chap in a previous series Lois

Sparklingbrook · 30/01/2015 10:14

Lois Poor Brendan had a wife and three daughters who basically bullied him a lot. She was brainwashing the girls about Australia. he spent a lot of their episode in tears and the wife was 'jokingly' saying she would go without him. Did they go? I thought there was an update I can't remember.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 30/01/2015 10:18

Ah Brendan was mentioned on the other thread too, thanks I remember now.

Oldraver · 30/01/2015 10:19

They are a level headed couple and would have a nice lifestyle wherever they were...but will always have the mothers 'dont leave meee' ringing in their ears

dillite · 30/01/2015 10:19

I bet they sacrifice kittens at full moon. No-one can be that nice!

Whoever said that they need to do some catalogue modelling was so right. They are a walking, come-to-life Boden catalogue.

Sparklingbrook · 30/01/2015 10:20

This is Brendan's lot Can't watch it any more unfortunately.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 30/01/2015 10:20

sparkling If it was last serious he might be on the next Revisited. Poor guy I bet they did go.

Sparklingbrook · 30/01/2015 10:36

I think they did you know.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 30/01/2015 10:39

sparkling - yes! Re: the names. I just commented this to 2 yer old DS but I think it was lost on him

I missed the Brendan one as DD was just a newborn when last year's series started. I think she was born two days into the series. Hope I can find it on YouTube

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 30/01/2015 11:25

*last series

sailorsgal · 30/01/2015 11:58

I didn't get yesterday's episode. Doesn't at least one of the parents want to emigrate.
I like the family today. Just catching up now. I know the area well where they live and it's really nice with good schools.

Iloveadrianmole · 30/01/2015 14:00

I just want to know where the lady from today got her lovely scarves from! I was wondering all the way through the programme Blush

Batmam · 30/01/2015 14:59

Linky didn't work for me sparkling...but perhaps just as well Confused

Spoonme · 30/01/2015 15:21

I remember the Brendan episode. Even DH who is relentlessly trying to talk me into going was astounded at his wife's behaviour. Poor poor man Hmm

Davros · 30/01/2015 15:39

Just catching up on today's. I'm sure she was wearing a Links friendship bracelet in one clip
