    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!

    not to NZ, but just because it doesn't do it for me!

    but yeah I would pack up & move & have done so twice now. Grew up in a small (& I mean small) country town in SA, lived there all my life til going to Adelaide for work, but back every other weekend. Then after DH & I got hitched it was time for a change & some better $$$$$, we lived in a very remote part of WA & now a semi remote part of QLD............I would love to go to Tassie Yes....but our next goal is CANADA. Company DH works for is based there......here we come!!!!

    haha nah not brave - maybe stooopid.. lol

    I figure you guys are my friends - so it doesn't matter where I live, cos I can annoy each and every one of you whenever I want

    I would desperately love to move to Tassie - I just suggested NZ to DH cos its so much like Tassie.. bwahahahaha..

    But I would love my dad to meet my kids before he dies

    PP - I'm not too attached to anything really in my house - its just stuff.

    Tassie is nice - but very cold atm. Summer isnt too bad.

    I can understand why you would want to live near your Dad.

    We have never had an interest in going to NZ so we wouldnt move there but i have heard its nice.

    well I have to add my 2 cents haha. NZ is beautiful, but we didnt move there we sold up everything except for 4 suitcases and moved our 2 little men over to perth from NZ! It was the most scary but exciting thing we have ever done. We did have my Bro inlaw in perth so that was something, all our other family are in NZ. We then decided after a year that perth wasnt for us ( we are dairy farmers and went there for something different, but you cant take the country out of kids and they missed it)....... so we packed again, this time we brought it all with us and moved to Victoria!! and absolutly love it. I do have to say we did move to oz for the money as nz does have a low pay rate. But we will never go back absolutly love it here and you do get used to being away from your family,and getting mocked about being a kiwi and the sheep thing hahaha. Although we miss the family all the time they visit way more now we are here and not in perth haha.
    1 piece of advice I can give you is dont ever be scared to do anything, you can always come back to what you know. There is no shame it saying it didnt turn out and going back home. Lots of people just dont ever take the chance.
