2nd timearound
17th January 2008, 03:00 AM
My husband and myself have been looking on this forum for a few weeks now and I thought it about time we properly introduce ourselves!

I am 26 and my hubby is 30 years old and has new zealand citizenship (inherited citizenship - was brought up and lives in Wales!). We did actually live in NZ for 6 months back at the end of 2005/2006 (hence the log-in name) but due to the stress of living with the in-laws we ended up coming home :roll . Recently had to return to NZ to take care of some family business and realised what a big mistake we made in coming home, especially when you consider the state of the UK today! Even my parents will move out upon their retirement in 5 years!

We have made firm plans to go back to NZ in the middle of next year (2009)and will be lodging my application once our house has been sold (moving to alternative accommodation while it is processed). Being wiser and more experienced than the last time, we are really excited but anxious at taking the big step again but we know it will definitely be worth it! This forum is invaluable so a big thanks to everyone!

Welcome to the forum 2nd timearound and all the best with your plans. We came here from Cardiff in 2006 and agree with Sharon: would not go back!

Hi Sharon / Gil,

We live in Newport but I am writing this in work in Cardiff - it must seem a world away from you out there!

To properly introduce ourselves, I am Leanne and my OH is Matt. What part of NZ are you living in? We are hoping to move back to Tauranga if we can find the work.
