Going back to Oz...

Well that's it, things have come to a head here in London and to be honest I just have had enough of this place now.

Every time I speak to my brother I feel it more and more strongly, what the fuck am I doing here so far away from my family?

Lately, well actually for the last 3 years, my health has taken a rapid nose-dive and I believe it's due to a bunch of things.

My job has taken its toll on me, stress factor one million. Currently work in Perth has boomed so much that it's looking attractive moving back right now. Especially in the mining industry. I did a quick online search after talking to my brother and he was right. Plenty of extremely well paid jobs out there (for skilled AND unskilled workers) plus I would not have any issues getting myself a job with my CV.

London weather has also taken it's toll on me. It's shit, let's face it compared to Australia this place sucks so badly I still can't understand why I lasted so long.

There really is nothing here for me, absolutely nothing at all. I feel like it's been a sort of prison and I've done my time, 10 years to be exact. Enough is enough.

My whole family is in Australia, I want to watch my nephews grow up, I want my health back, I don't want to be this stressed anymore. I want an opportunity to OWN my house, a proper house not these coffins people live in over here.

I want space, I want nature, I want my family.

Australia is probably the only country that has actually reported no losses in this stupid credit crunch (don't quote me on the 'only country' bit not sure).

What the hell am I doing here?? My partner thinks it's a pretty good idea, only drawback is that we have to wait until he gets his papers sorted to get British residency.

Question is can I wait another year? Because it's getting pretty bad for me here now, my health is at stake.
