Wanted Down Under - new series

Breward · 31/12/2016 21:52

Starts on Monday 2nd Jan @ 11am (new time) each day.

DH always says, "You can tell it is the new year when this deluded escapism is on!"

I for one will have it on series record. Anyone else joining me to escape to Oz each morning?

How can this man think that this is a good idea? In every scenario someone will be hurt except for him. So selfish.

Vagndidit · 05/01/2017 11:44

£200 better off per month, that's why. Confused

It says on the facebook page that they have split up but Jimmy is still keen emigrate on his own.

228agreenend · 05/01/2017 11:53

According to the WDU facebook page, the couple have now split up, but are in daily contact. James is still thinking of going to Australia, and is in contact with employers over there.

I never get how some of these families have so little in England for whatever reason but get so picky when they get to Australia.

I mean, yes we all have dreams and I suppose going out there as they think they can have something they cant achieve here...but come on.....you're living in your parents cramped 3 bed with not real personal space and you are demanding 4 big bedrooms and all the knobs

If he does go to Australia i would find that a very selfish thing to do. His child is so young. Why would you decide to move thousands of miles away from them?

EllaHen · 06/01/2017 10:26

Does anyone have an update for the young couple? The guy just out of the army and his finacee who was a TA.

I've tried looking on fb but can't find their update. Thanks.

I had to stop watching the single mother and daughter episode when she asked about part time work. So, so deluded. I felt quite sorry for her daughter.

Vagndidit · 06/01/2017 10:36

Ella, Armyguy and his fiancee did get married but haven't moved to Australia (yet).

SwedishEdith · 06/01/2017 11:12

I don't like her. He looks all anxious and troubled. Why don't they just move nearer to the coast?

LIZS · 06/01/2017 11:14

I'm surprised at their uk house. Expensive area but seems they could still afford more. Why can't she work while kids at school?

LIZS · 06/01/2017 11:18

That's a fab house. Her dream , but she's being fussy.

SwedishEdith · 06/01/2017 11:19

Yes, said she was a doctor as well? She's coming across as rather spoilt.

He's reminding me of a mix of Stephen Sakur and the art expert on Antiques Roadshow - Rupert someone.

Vagndidit · 06/01/2017 11:19

Today's family are fresh from the the pages of the Boden catalog...

wideboy26 · 06/01/2017 11:25

She looks as though she's going to drive it through if it's what she wants. Pity him - he doesn't yet look so persuadable.

Heatherbell1978 · 06/01/2017 11:28

I can't believe how little he actually earns as a doctor in the UK😔 Don't get me wrong, good salary but just thinking about what he does day to day. And if she's got two school aged kids why doesn't she work? (Or is the girl too young?) I like them but think they could afford more if they really wanted it.

NancyDonahue · 06/01/2017 11:31

Who goes to view a house and let's their kids bounce on the beds?! Shock

LIZS · 06/01/2017 11:33

Why leave their bed so crumpled! Oh no they might have to economise by drinking tap water!

Vagndidit · 06/01/2017 11:33

What exactly is driving this move for them again? They love their house and village, and presumably his job would mean the same where ever they go. If it's because she's unhappy she may find a return to work for herself might solve a load of her issues.

wideboy26 · 06/01/2017 11:35

It was all her idea, now she's having second thoughts for goodness' sake. Husband and kids are onside but she's wavering.

wideboy26 · 06/01/2017 11:37

Absolutely, Nancy! 'Lots of free expression' no doubt.

EllaHen · 06/01/2017 11:37

Thanks Vagndidit - I appreciate your update. I hope they are happy wherever they decide to live. Either way, they will have a massive adjustment to make with him coming out of the army.

wideboy26 · 06/01/2017 11:38

Homes wanted down under the hammer

SwedishEdith · 06/01/2017 11:39

Get a bloody job, woman! I suspect she's bored and this is just an attempt at some excitement. He seems lovely - bet he's a great doctor.

Badcat666 · 06/01/2017 11:39

God she is very spoilt isn't she?

PatMullins · 06/01/2017 11:40

Agreed, Swedish.

Off topic slightly but New Zealand looks beautiful Smile
