2007 found me very homesick for nz and thanks to finding this forum I found out it was still possible for us to try to return/immigrate.
I instantly found a job online for OH that he was interested in, he did the phone interviews, and is now down to the last step where he should fly down for the final interview. He hasn't pushed the EOI button yet and he hasn't booked tickets yet..
As 2007 closed we were frantically using our calculator trying to figure out how we could manage to live on this potentially greatly reduced salary, in a our favorite city in nz, and still manage to pay to relocate ourselves and buy a house..
2008 has arrived with no final decision but it is looking very very doubtful we will be able to take up this fantastic potential offer. Our house isn't ready to sell yet, despite long hours of renovating and the financial prospect of living in nz looks bleak. I'll probably spend the rest of 08 wrestling with longing for nz, frustration at my calculator, and trying to find a way to be happy in Canada or if not trying to find another job (but higher paying) in nz.
