advice needed

[ozzieclare2be]

Well im now having second thoughts about going back to the uk but not sure if i can stay here as a single mum in essence. Reasons for going back are because me and husband and i have split for those who didnt know. The house is sold, not much to do and now im having second thoughts as my brother arrives in less than 2weeks. Everything seems so difficult at the moment and im scared of making the wrong decision arghhh!!

Been looking at rentals etc and wondering how im going to be able to cope , but believe you get rent assistance etc. Does anyone have anything coming up to rent in the south under 275 a week lol,

Hi Clare, yes you will get rent assistance and I think it works out at quite a bit, just seen that Lisa (Happychick) is advertising her rental on here, its really nice - lovely garden too - would be ideal for you. Good Luck with whatever you decide to do - You've worked so hard at making a life out here for yourself and Alex why not give it a go - No one has taken away your passport so if it doesn't work out you can always go back, and having your brother coming and some rellies here mst be a bonus.

Like I said good luck - you are a strong person, who has a good support network and a job that you love, if anyone can make it work then you can!

Hi Clare,

As you are already here why don't you give yourself another 1 year living here in Adelaide and see how you get on. If after that time you decide to move back to England then you will know that you have given it your best shot and not lost anything.
Its difficult when emotions are running high but don't be hasty in thinking you have to go back to England. Think of the future you could have here and the reasons you first came here.
Also have a look at Units for renting, this could be a cheaper option for you. With all the parks and beaches around you really don't need a big place.
Good luck in whatever you decide.

Hi Clare,

I have see you post on here a few times and wondered why you were goinging back. I am sure many others feel as I do, sorry for you as especially with kids it is hard and you must feel vulnerable all this way from what is home to british and especially those in need. The fact that your brother is coming out mean that you will have support here and I sppouse if you were to go back it all depends on what you are going back to and finances.
If you were to meet someone else here then it would make it all different I suppose.
I dont know your whole situation but I would say, stay a while it you can and wait for your brother and family. Could they not rent a home with a nice annex for you even ?

Perhaps stay another summer and see what happens ??

My sympanthy and good wishes , Lynne xx

HI Clare

what a dilemma eh i feel for you !!
If u check on realestate.com under rentals, theres about 12 within ur budget in the seaford/seaford rise areas, theres even one on ur street up for rent, no 13, u could chuck ya furniture there from ur house

no advice really just wanted to wish u well in whatever u decide

Hi Clare,
There must be so much more for you here than the uk, apart from family obviously.You will be fine here you just need a lot of support, there are still loads more people to meet on here

Good luck babes with what ever you decide. If you decide to stay - then at least you can say you gave it a go.
