    @resjudicata TBH I miss London for the entertainment, nightlife etc and I miss crowds of people lol, but in terms of finances, am better off in Australia.

    @maclee22 It really does but I also worked in London and it was the same thing as a nurse. I’m so glad it’s over.

    @dvcochran I think just having the BA present helped the REA and auctioneer to steer the owner in a particular direction and had I been on my own, they would have convinced me to pay at least 30k extra, but I was also prepared to pay 100k extra as the property was so rare.
