Oh........and we haven't actually had a real Kiwi family life yet.............hubby is still away until Xmas and starts work in January....................so if I've managed being on my own in a new country for 7 months this year, I think I'm here to stay! What do you all think?

Yep ... it looks as if NZ is stuck with you! * ;) ;) ;) *Stuck with me too * as I am happy here, and the children are happy here.

I agree that you have to be positive, also that one cannot expect it to be like the UK (or US) with the same standard of living but with less population. * A lot of people will earn less than they did in their home country but many will adjust, especially if they have brought enough capital over to assist and persevere with settling down. *Everyone will have a different story. *

Hey fisheress, Christmas is getting closer and you'll be a family again soon ... don't forget to spend Christmas Day on the beach!
