Hello everyone!
Seems a lot of posts have gone up in the past two months which is great. Just trying to get time to plough through them all.
Stu and I did our 2 month holiday back to Scotland during July and August and have returned knowing that we are making the right decision in deciding to pursue PR.
We really miss all our friend and family and it was great catching up with them all but it did make us homesick for NZ whilst being back. We still love Scotland but know that setting up home here in NZ is the right thing to do. There seems to be so much more opportunity for things in NZ compared to the UK. We really enjoy our new healthier lifestyle here in NZ.
On the Residencency side of things it was good going back and getting Police Certificates sorted, certifiactes and references for work etc - most of which apart from the police certificate we were able to get before we left. Replying on Mum to courier the Police ones to us when they arrive.
We still plan to go back again for Xmas 2008 for a couple of weeks (money providing) but it is great being back. I dont think we'd ever do a long holiday like that again as it was so costly and very tiring!!
We've both been really lucky workwise since being back as Stu's back at his old job and I got another contract job starting on Monday. Also landed a lovely penthouse apartment in Wellie CBD which has amazing views over the sea and Mt Vic.
All in all, it was great to go back to the UK but it was even better returning to NZ
