It would now seem that hubby and I will not be returning to Oz, therefore we have two redundant passports - any takers?

OMG that sound like bad news. What's the story? Do you have PR status, how long have you spent in Oz, any chance of qualifying for citizenship for a return later in life?

Good luck with whatever happens, sound serious though.

Well we were really keen to return to Australia, but with the house not selling, we've been spending more on decorating etc, and to be honest, cannot see the house ever selling until the land next to us is fully developed - which is on the cards within the next year or so.

But, during the last 12 months daughter and kids have moved out and have settled further into Lincolnshire and her partner is not ready to go to Oz just yet, so it's all on the backburner.

And... as we're getting older now, it would be silly of us to upsticks at our age, and so have decided to put it well on the backburner until we retire (and that's nearer than I care to imagine!) That way, if daughter does go, she'll have a few years to settle and we'll know for sure whether we are to retire there or here.

Fortunately we have citizenship so we can go back at any time (or at least when and if we ever sell up), but it is looking less likely with each passing month.

I still enjoy reading about all your adventures, and wish everyone well with their applications - believe me it'll be worth all the hassle, Australia is a great place and a great environment for children to grow up in - so stick with it everyone - you can make it happen.
