I would say that's quite a common phenomenon. When things that are out of our normal comfort zone seem out of our reach we want them, but, when they become a definite possibility we suddenly get cold feet and try to find ways to talk ourselves out of it. As long as you're sure it's the right thing, just give yourself space to mull the whole thing over, so you can convince yourself you're 101% sure it's right.

Thanks Mother Bear, I suppose its only when you start investigating at what you are leaving behind, such as an affordable education system, NHS (to a certain degree), family allowance etc, etc. That you realise that things are not all that bad in England, apart from the weather maybe today! However, you have to weigh up what you are getting and I know that we are more than 101% sure we want this, just very nervous about the process getting there! Thanks for your time.
