.. selling up everything and moving to say... New Zealand? (obviously this doesn't apply to the people that already live there :p)
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? :o
Nope - too far from everyone I love
and I'm scared of SHEEP.
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.
I'm here to ask the questions - not answer them :p:
hehehehehe
Pretty sure we toyed with the idea 10+ years ago, but we were looking at a lot of different scenarios back then.
Yeah, if there were jobs and available accommodation waiting for us. It looks really beautiful in places over there, and friendly.
Um.. :protest: 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 :thumbsup:
Yep, what Nelle said.:
I wanted move anywhere, especially overseas unless I had something to go to.
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.
nah, too cold for my liking and what Lulu said about the sheep :rofl:
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!
Hmm... ok..
What about Tassie? :p
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!!!!
Maybe not NZ, but definitely yes to selling up and moving away.
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.
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. :p
you know I wanted to do this but realised I am lonley enough as it is how much more lonley will i be going to a new town or city.
We will hopefully live in the uk or ireland for a year when the kids are bigger but not permantly.
Good luck hun if you do. Your very brave :)
