lol thanks all,

my fault I calculated wrongly! hed get about 4k more than hes on now with the same company. There are many reasons to go, one inc his completely tattered credit history, it will never sort itself out due to 3 redundancies in 2 years, if we move to OZ you start from scratch and build a new one up. It would mean we could have a life rather than constantly figting to resurrect this one. We have been through a lot, most of which I don't talk about but it does on the face of it seem like a fresh start is possible. Lower wages maybe but it means more to us than that, dont really want to go into details lol
I would miss my parents however when I lived in the south it wasnt uncommon for us to go 8 months or more without seeing each other due to finances so I'm used to that but as thier getting older I worry about thier health and I think my mum would be very very upset.
Also my furries, 2.5k per dog to get them over and 1.3k per cat so couldnt take them all. But as the non animal lovers keep telling me whats more important!
Sorry didnt mean to get all serious there
Anyway it would be a good year and some saving before we could go but maybe its the new start we are looking for.
