I didnt want to hijack another thread so thought i'd clear it up here...
Yep, we're moving house as it makes sense for us with the kids schools, activties and our work. We knew this would happen a year ago but wanted to buy and we do like the area massivley. If it wasnt for practical considerations, we'd happily stay put.
I am still massively positive but am also a bit of a dichotomy, I love NZ and will probably end my days here but need to set some goals that I feel will fullfill me also. I kinda think aloud a bit too so who knows. I also didnt approach the move here with finality. It's more a stage of life that suits us for now. in a year or 2, we may decide to move to another country to experience something different and then move on again. Who knows? You can only do whats right for you and yours as and when the possibilites arise.
We are definately comfortable and tbh, things couldnt have worked out any better for all of us apart from the surprises that life throws at you.
I would like to try another career as what I do, I just fell into really and make a good living from but again, i feel that its soon time for a change to keep it fresh and fullfilling.
Ramble over and the good news department is still hugely open, maybe I don't advertise the products as much these days but that doesn't mean you can't pop in from time to time!
