    Hiy guys,

    iv been having this argument with myself for a while now about going back to ireland for. Although i think it was a great experience to come here.

    Im now at a strange point where i just think it would be better to be nearer home, Dublin at least. I kinda feel like im putting up with being here and now my boyfriends going back to brazil im not in great spirits. Iv lost the drive to find a new job as the one im in is going nowhere...

    Not that i hate London, i like it ,,,but i just never loved it. Iv had great times


    im nearly a year in july 5th,,have i given it a propper chance ?? id apriciate your thaughts,,,,Thank youuuu :)

    what are the pros of coming back to ireland as far as you're concerned?

    have you a job to come back to? Ireland is a changed country, just make sure you are not looking at it with rose tinted glasses

    Sorry to hear that McKenzie, pm or text if you want to chat :)

    Ah McKenzie, good to find you ;)

    Write out the pros and the cons of going/staying and weigh it up. If you do go, are there jobs, will you have support network? Things change in a year..

    London love/hate can be in waves; you can always come back :)

    Yes it's not easy to live here sometimes, I find it a bit claustrophobic at times. At the same time there are so many things I'd miss if I went home. I think I will go home sooner or later though too.

    I lived and worked in London for nearly four years. I moved home in 2007, bought a house and spent nearly 3 years wishing i was anywhere but Ireland. I finally went back to visit London 1 month ago, and guess what, I am delighted I left London, its a great place, if you have money and a good social scene, however Ireland is a different animal altogether. You will struggle when you come home. Stick with it, Ireland is wonderfully unique.

    How long have you been here brazilia NZ?


    Yea :o sorry people i kinda got wrapped up in my own world of havvoc and dissapeared from boards then. (work and life in gen ):rolleyes:

    Altho i have learned so much that one thing good london has opened up an inspiration to travel! I do not regret coming here.But sometimes its not so easy. My work and life balance arent the same.Iseem to have much more fun at home then i do here. in the words of my dad"im here for a good time..not a long time";)

    But i think it depends. thats just me and my situations at the mo. London is a different experience for different people.

    To be honest ,,im happy to go home now :)

    About a year and a half, I might go back in a year or two and buy somewhere to live in Dublin. My problem here is that I'm having too much fun, the partying scene here is too temptatious for someone like myself. Might be different if I wasn't single however.

    Sure only you truly know what's right for you, nobody else can tell you. Sleep on it for a couple of nights though.

    If ye feel it's right to go back to Ireland, then cool do that, and then who knows where your mindset takes you after that, but I wish you well.
