Well the deed has been done, my resignation was submitted today with a view to move back in early March.

I've mostly enjoyed my time living in Australia, just a shame the work side didn't turn out as was originally sold to me when I was recruited. The London market has really picked up of late, so all in all as a household, we'll be better off financially there.

If anyone is interested in buying a nice black 2009 Land Rover Discovery 3 then let me know!

Also, does anyone have tips for shipping back? I'd looked at the Seven Seas Movecubes as I don't have a container full to go.

TVR sold a couple of months back, not for as much as I wanted but it needed to go.

Land Rover is up for sale at the moment but in no rush as it's my only car (although I use the bus for work).

It's fine! It's all along the lines of my thinking, the one income here is hard - whereas in the UK we can both earn good money.

It's interesting reading the thread and seeing different people's perspective, but the thing I pick up on is that almost everyone is writing from a completely different situation.

It's hard to compare Australia in general to the UK as the place is so varied in scenery, lifestyle, living costs, outlook etc. It's more akin to comparing London to Madrid in that respect than to Birmingham.

It's off this Friday, quite a bargain for the buyer!
