probably not :( money has always been a neg factor for us, basically cos we never seem to have any!!!!! we tend to live payday to payday ... thats the downside to ex-wife/stepkids! plus whenever we had got to a point where we had enough money something always went wrong, like mal not having work/getting ill = no wages, we split up for a short while, car problems (always seem to make bad choices with cars!!!), my mum and her stroke (had to stay here cos of her), then lack of money again ... theres the other stuff too - kids getting older (lucy is now nearly 14 and will be starting her options in sept) although they all say they would still go; we are getting older (im nearly 44, mal nearly 48); changes to the visa rules/points test - no longer qualify; lack of money; changes to the nursing registration regulations; lack of money; the recession - if we are struggling here and mal doesnt work, if its the same situation in aus then we are still going to struggle .... ive learnt that from many years of reading aus migration forums! at the end of the day, we missed our chance and theres not much i can do about it now. I do still dream of going - even on a temp visa - and i cannot get the idea of it out of my head (has been the cause of many low, dark moods over the last year ... just in one now). I still torture myself with realestate.com, read the online newspapers, keep looking on the many aus forums ... :mad: I live in the hope that i one day win the lottery :crossfingers: Edited by Tiredwithtwins, May 3 2011, 05:55:41 AM.
