Would you ever consider...

[Indadhanu]

Wow... I dunno... Probably not... I grew up with only my granddad as extended family, I never saw my aunts/uncles/counsins or even other grandparents and I want my kids to always know their uncles/aunts/cousins etc.

But if I had family there then yeah I'd consider it. But Not having family there I wouldn't be able to do it.

You moving to NZ?

[Lulu]

Nope - too far from everyone I love

and I'm scared of SHEEP.

[Maruschke]

Whats the go Mel? You taking off on us? I'd never move to NZ, unemployment is a huge issue over there, and the minimum wage is realllllllly low.

[Nelle]

Yeah, if there were jobs and available accommodation waiting for us. It looks really beautiful in places over there, and friendly.

[kirsty_lee]

Um.. sorry mel but this question is redundant because I AM moving to the sunshine coast therefore you are NOT ALLOWED to move to NZ .. no way.. putting my foot down

[Snowy Love]

My sister & her family did - they were supposed to be there for 5 - 7 years, and have just moved back after about 3 years partially 'cause the kids were bullied for being Aussies - but that may have just been Christchurch.

[MrsB26]

nah, too cold for my liking and what Lulu said about the sheep

[~clover~]

Nah, can't wait to visit with my SIL though! She's Mauri & her father is pretty high up on the social scene...
I would love to see NZ, but only with her & my bro. Too cold for me too. Sheep don't bother me, lol. I grew up in shearing sheds!

[Visitor7]

Yeah, if there were jobs and available accommodation waiting for us. It looks really beautiful in places over there, and friendly.

Yep, what Nelle said.
I wanted move anywhere, especially overseas unless I had something to go to.

[Arimeh]

You moving to NZ?

I'm here to ask the questions - not answer them

hehehehehe

[Astrid]

Pretty sure we toyed with the idea 10+ years ago, but we were looking at a lot of different scenarios back then.

[AngelPunks]

yes I would seriously consider selling up everything and moving away - lets just say I've not discounted it lately, have even sat down and worked out what I would need to sell etc and what I would do with the things I would want to keep. I basically have no family here, just my friends (who are amazing and wonderful & I couldn't survive without) and they would be more than welcome to come visit me anywhere I ended up.

[Marlene]

Nope! I've already done that and come back to Australia after 2 years...it just didn't work out.


Of course, I was only 2 years old at the time.

[~Saram~]

Dh and I have done three big moves (within QLD but about 1000km each time) I love it. I love moving to a new town and exploring a new region esp if it is somewhere remote/has tourist attractions etc.

We have been lucky though as DH job pays entirely for every move including paying stamp duty and other costs involved in us selling our houses. Not sure if we would do it if we had to cover expenses ourselves

[PinkPalace]

Mel - you know how i feel on moving at the drop of a hat (4 houses in 2 different states in 2 year lol!!!)...

but i dont think i could sell everything and start afresh. I think i love my furniture pmsl!

but if it was for an amazing opportunity (ie work with heaps of $$)... then sure!. but if it was so i could live there and it would cost me over $10-15 k to move and re buy everything probably not.

Even to tassy i would consider shipping it there in a container.
