Divvy_Rider Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 It sounds good, But What about your Kid (s) ? See what they think, And if you live near your family now, Could you manage without them. Close Family is always good for free baby sitters .. I'm always being roped in to it, :roll: Good luck anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted July 13, 2004 Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2004 DR's got a good point about what the kid(s) might think :wink: .....but ouside of that, I'd say: GO FOR IT!! 8) ......but then again, I might be the wrong person to ask.......I've ben wanting to see the IOM for most of my life :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidcooled Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 yammie, not sure about day to day things, i think they are just the same, but apparently the property prices are alot higher. mind you houses in england cost alot more than here so it may not be so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Alex Posted July 16, 2004 Admin Share Posted July 16, 2004 Go for it mate, sounds like a brilliant opputunity, you can always come back, and two years is no time. Dont forget once your pay has gone up looks better on your cv too, so more likely to get a better paid job when you get back too! 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
