    Typical GF when you need it its never there in time,
    I think I'll get them even if I decide not to wear them for the day I'll have another pair to my collection ( I'm a shoe-a-holic) and get a pair of flats for the evening. Comfort is the way forward xx

    Just seen on FB a girl who used to dance with us is off travelling the world with her boyfriend. They have literally sold all their possessions, quit their jobs and are just leaving to start a new life somewhere else... they don't even know where they are going settle, what they are going to do... how amazing to just see where life takes you! I'd never have the balls to do something like that!

    Morning all,
    love the nails GF, typical about the water company. they never like putting the money back in your account do they..

    I would never do that. If I did it would have to be meticulously planned

    I would have to meticulously plan it too, hate just seeing what happens, I always need a plan for everything! Guess that kind of defeats the object though and probably the biggest reason why I've never done it or considered doing it myself... you need to be a bit of a free spirit I think to go travelling the world. xx

    Me and OH are thinking of moving to Australia in 2017. We have always wanted to travel but actually living there is appealing to us more and more now. Hoping to be able to fly out there towards the end of 2016 to find somewhere to live then go a few months later. OH is an electrician so he can get a job easily and he has a friend there who is going to help us get everything sorted xx

    I like the idea of moving to live abroad but know I probably never would, I don't think I would be able to leave my family behind, particularly my mum as she lives on her own at the moment and I hate the thought of her being lonely. If things progressed with her and partner and they moved in together, OH and I would consider moving elsewhere in the country, but doubt we'd ever make it abroad xx

    I wouldn't want to leave my family behind either but like me and OH have said we are a family now and would be doing what's best for us and what would make us happy. We have always wanted to move away so before buying a house we are going to do it, at least then we will never grow old regretting not doing it xx

    If it's what you want definitely go for it! Life is for living as they say, you don't want to have any regrets.

    The other thing that puts me off is having kids and then my family here not being able to be involved with them whilst they are growing up xx

    I know a lot of people that have gone there and not come back, it seems such a better way of life over there and everyone always seems so happy I'm sure it would be hard to leave. We would come back once a year but I doubt we would end up moving back unless something happens that means we have to xx

    It would be a shame having kids and family not being around but we will come home at Christmas etc and they can come over and visit us as much as they like so they can still spend time with them. I wouldn't stay here though just so my family could see my kids, both of our families have said it would be a great place for kids and how happy they would be there xx

    Oh yeah I'm sure they would have a blast! I think as I'm an only child though I think about it a little differently. If we had children and took them to live somewhere else, my mum and dad have will not have any other grandchildren at home. My dad is a step grandad but it's not the same. I want them to be really involved when we have children, as well as MIL and FIL. I was always looked after my by grandparents when I was little so I think that's where it stems from! xx

    Yeah I know what you mean, I was with my grandparents a lot growing up and loved it but at the same time it would make the visits we do have more special because they don't get to see them as much. I don't think my parents would want me to not do something I want just so that they could see our kids, it might be a bit selfish but it's something we would regret not doing if we didn't and I'm sure we would be much happier xx

    Id go for it Emma, your familys have both said they understand and would support you so why not. if you don't try it you will regret it for ever. and lets be honest, whats the worst thing.. you move back home after a few years. With technology these days your kids can still grow up knowing their grandparents, just in a different way. One of the contractors here, his son moved to Australia and they are forever on Skype with the grandkids so when they do meet they know who it is and have a relationship with them

    Ooooh I am angry! Just having a browse on R1ghtm0v3 and our old rented house is on there, just been sold. The furniture used in the pictures looks remarkably like the furniture that was in there when we looked round when we were looking to rent it... we were kicked out after 6 months as the landlord 'needed the house back'. So looks like he was in there originally and had every intention of just using someone and moving back in after 6 months. We are in a much better place now but grrrrrr!

    We'd also complained constantly about the fence as it kept falling down and he always did a cr@p bodge job of fixing it. I see he's now put a very nice and sturdy fence up.

    W@nk3r springs to mind!!!!

    I don't even wish we were still there or anything as we are in a much better place now and love where we are, just p1ss3s me off that he blatantly used us and had every intention of kicking us out after 6 months after making us believe it was a long-term let. The agent was just as bad if not worse as well - they were friends though so I guess that explains that.

    When he moved back in he phoned me accusing me of stealing some sort of aerial/TV cable.. I didn't even know what it was that he was on about let alone steal it! I'm not normally a confrontational person but I gave him a piece of my mind after that lol xx
