0:00:02 > 0:00:05For most of us, dreaming of emigrating to another country
0:00:05 > 0:00:07is about as close as it gets.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11But if you'd decided that life was too short to think "what if?",
0:00:11 > 0:00:13how would you convince your partner
0:00:13 > 0:00:18to put aside their doubts and follow you to the other side of the world?
0:00:21 > 0:00:25'After ten years of wondering, Teo Armes knows it's now or never
0:00:25 > 0:00:27'for a move down under.'
0:00:27 > 0:00:32If we weren't to move to New Zealand at this time,
0:00:32 > 0:00:34I don't think we'll ever do it.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36'But wife Amanda can't bear to leave home.'
0:00:36 > 0:00:40The distance makes me feel...sick with worry.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43'And if the numbers won't add up...'
0:00:43 > 0:00:46That's not going to be enough money.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49It's just not... The figures don't work out.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52'..is the move worth the pain it may cause?'
0:00:52 > 0:00:56I can't believe you get that upset, even just thinking about it.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21'For many Brits looking for a new start,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24'New Zealand feels just right.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27'Its bright lights, open countryside and mild climate
0:01:27 > 0:01:29'are a powerful draw.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34'With a fraction of the population at home, there's plenty of room for new arrivals.'
0:01:35 > 0:01:40For the Armes family, the next seven days could change their future.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44After experiencing the everyday reality of living in New Zealand,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47they'll face one of the toughest decisions of their lives -
0:01:47 > 0:01:51whether to stay in the UK, or to make the move down under for good.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55'After 25 hours and 12,000 miles in the air,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59'the Armes touched down on Kiwi soil, but it's the British variety
0:01:59 > 0:02:03'that led to an unplanned stopover at immigration.'
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Amanda filled in the forms on the plane to declare if we were carrying any food
0:02:07 > 0:02:10or any footwear that may have soil on,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14and Amanda forgot to say that we had all our walking boots.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16And we've just been officially warned.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Luckily, we weren't fined the 400 as they were feeling kind,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23but they nearly did and they gave us a proper telling off.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- And an official warning.- In my name. - In Amanda's name.- Brilliant(!)
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- I didn't even pack the boots. - She was crying five minutes ago.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- But, um...not a good start, was it? - No!
0:02:34 > 0:02:38'Now the authorities know them, let's meet the family, too.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45'Back in Norfolk, the Armes live in the historic county town of Norwich.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50'They are Teo, a consultant social worker,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53'Amanda, a part-time sales assistant,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56'and their children, football-mad Alfie, who's nine,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59'and seven-year-old Isabella.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04'Since a student trip to Australia, Teo has wanted to emigrate.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08'But after falling for and marrying Amanda, the move went on hold.'
0:03:08 > 0:03:11It's always been talked about, but always in the background.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14It's never been, "We're actually going to do it."
0:03:14 > 0:03:16We've never moved forward on that.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20'But a recent tragedy made him look again at his dream.'
0:03:21 > 0:03:24A couple of months ago, my brother,
0:03:24 > 0:03:29um...suddenly and unexpectedly died.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32It's had a huge effect on the whole family.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35But it's really made me...
0:03:35 > 0:03:39evaluate what I've got and what I want from life.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42'However, Amanda worries about moving so far.'
0:03:42 > 0:03:47The distance makes me feel...sick with worry and nerves.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50If anything was to happen to my mum or my dad,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52cos they have not been that well.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Yeah, it kind of, um...
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Yeah.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02'It's something Amanda hoped she'd never have to contemplate.'
0:04:02 > 0:04:06'I don't like to think about it, otherwise I'd cry.'
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Leaving my mum.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Really?
0:04:12 > 0:04:16CRYING: They haven't got anyone else. They've only got me.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Yeah. - It's the grandchildren.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Yeah.- And taking them away, cos they love them so much.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26And, er... Yeah.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31- I'd feel really...- It would be... - I'd feel really guilty. - It would have a massive impact.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35'Alfie and Isabella aren't sure, either.'
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Me, Mum and Bella don't know how it feels to be on the other side of the world.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42But Dad does.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45'Teo thinks they're ready for a move.'
0:04:45 > 0:04:49'Now that they're seven and nine, I think it's a perfect age, really.'
0:04:49 > 0:04:55- Before high school.- Good age, before they get really close friends.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00I think it's almost like a window that we've got now.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02'With the children growing up fast,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06'Teo believes it's now or never, IF they're to emigrate.'
0:05:06 > 0:05:10If we weren't to move to New Zealand at this time,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I don't think we'll ever do it.
0:05:13 > 0:05:19If I weren't to at least try and show Amanda and the children
0:05:19 > 0:05:21what we could have somewhere else,
0:05:21 > 0:05:26what life is like in another country, I think I'd always have a regret.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30AMANDA: There's nothing worse than having regrets.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36He needs to do what he needs to do and I have to support him on that.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41But the reality of it... is something just...
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I can't comprehend.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48The Armes' future rests in the balance.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Teo is ready to face the biggest challenge of their lives,
0:05:52 > 0:05:57but convincing Amanda the pain of leaving could be worthwhile is a tough task.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00He has just one week to pull it off.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02'For their week in New Zealand,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06'the family are visiting Auckland on the north island.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09'It's the country's biggest city, full of life
0:06:09 > 0:06:11'but surrounded by open spaces.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16'Their rental home's located in the suburb of Takapuna,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20'but will their first taste of Kiwi living impress?'
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Ooh!- Ooh!- Modern!- Yeah.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- Oh, it's all open plan.- I like it. - I like open plan.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- Yeah, it's good.- Excellent. A good start.- Yeah.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I can't wait to sit down, chill out and have a beer!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38'But already, Amanda's thinking of the week ahead.'
0:06:38 > 0:06:42The area that we're staying in seems really nice and the house is gorgeous.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45It's very similar to our home.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50It doesn't feel like something completely alien to me.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54But I know I'm a long way from home.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58The two main things I'm looking forward to are work, obviously -
0:06:58 > 0:07:01but for me, I can get on with a job.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06And houses, which is important for Amanda,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08to try and get Amanda on board.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14If the houses go well, that holds the whole week in good stead,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17cos Amanda's the key decision maker, really.
0:07:17 > 0:07:23LAUGHING NERVOUSLY: It's a massive decision, and it seems even more massive now I'm here!
0:07:26 > 0:07:32'Back in the UK, Teo and Amanda have a three-bedroom home in Norwich.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35'They hope to have a budget of £250,000.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40'But for Amanda, a Kiwi house has got plenty to live up to.'
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I would like a modern house,
0:07:42 > 0:07:47something homely, comfortable, very light, very airy.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It's more important for Amanda, the property.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55For me, as long as she likes it and she's happy with the house, then I'm happy with the house.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59The kitchen's very important. I prefer a kitchen-diner.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Ideally, I'd like a spare bedroom, so guests could come and stay.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I'd like an entertaining space, so we can all be together.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12I definitely would like somewhere to grow some veg and stuff.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16The worst thing would be putting us in the middle of nowhere,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20on a lifestyle property, surrounded by acres of fields.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I would absolutely hate it.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29That's quite a list, but finding it could be key to winning Amanda over.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Today, we're giving the Armes a taste of Auckland's housing market.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37We'll show them three typical properties based on what they want,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41what they can afford and the real cost of property down under.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46After seeing what's on offer, they'll find out how much each house costs.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51'Their first stop is the desirable beach-side district of Devonport.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55'It has plenty of local schools and is only a ten-minute ferry ride
0:08:55 > 0:08:57'to the city centre,
0:08:57 > 0:09:01'making it harbour-side living in the suburbs.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05'From the street, you wouldn't know the first house was there.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10'But will it impress the Armes?'
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- I like the little balcony?- Do you? I don't like the outside of it.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17It looks quite, um...bleak.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19And depressing.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22'That's not the best start.'
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Let's go and have a little look.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- Are you gonna lead us in, Alfie? - Yeah. I am.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30OK. What do YOU think?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32It is quite small.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- This is cosy.- It's...
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- I like the veranda and the door. - Yeah?
0:09:38 > 0:09:43I quite like the snugness of a separate lounge,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46and a separate dining room and things.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49The kitchen's on the small side, but it's OK.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- It's nice that it joins the dining room.- Yeah.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56- So you can sit there and chat. - Yeah. That's enough work tops.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- I like the clock.- The clock won't stay. That's not a deal-breaker.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- Can we go outside now? - Yeah. You two can.- Go on, then.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08'While the children explore the garden, Mum and Dad check out the bedrooms.'
0:10:08 > 0:10:14This would have to be a children's room. This couldn't be our room.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- It's way too small.- Yeah. - I feel quite claustrophobic.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23'There is an en-suite bathroom, which might offer parental privacy.'
0:10:23 > 0:10:26You can have a bath in peace without the children coming in,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28like they always do.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31'The next bedroom is much larger.'
0:10:31 > 0:10:35OK, so this is the master bedroom. This is a bit better.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- It's not huge, but... - No, it's not massive.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40But it's good enough.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Built-in wardrobe.- Go on. Have a nose. You know you want to.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Yeah. Plenty of space.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51I always feel bad looking through people's wardrobes, so I'll leave that to you.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Our bed would take up quite a lot of that space.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I think it's similar to the house when we bought ours
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- and changed everything.- Yeah.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- This is quite a big room as well. - Yeah. This is nice.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09At least the kids would have equal sized rooms for a change.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- They wouldn't argue. - You've got the two windows.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Yeah. This is nice. I like it.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19'With only three bedrooms, there wouldn't be much space for guests,
0:11:19 > 0:11:23'but an answer to that problem may lie downstairs.'
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Oh, blimey! It's a huge space! - That's huge!
0:11:25 > 0:11:29'The basement area is as big as the house.'
0:11:29 > 0:11:30- Where do you start?- I don't know.
0:11:30 > 0:11:36It would take some serious cash to change it, but...
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- Wow!- Bit of a project! - BIT of a project(!)
0:11:40 > 0:11:45- Which I don't really fancy.- I wouldn't mind, as long as the money was in the budget to do it.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48'A guest bedroom is important to Teo and Amanda,
0:11:48 > 0:11:52'who won't settle for somewhere her parents can't visit.'
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Alfie, Bell, where are you?
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Hello!
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Yeah, it's nice isn't it? Do you like this bit, the decking?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03And that bit there.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- There's a vegetable patch over there.- A little veg patch!
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- They've got rhubarb. - I like the garden.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11The garden IS good.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16I'd worry about the neighbours. They'd constantly be having a football in each garden!
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Yeah, you'd be climbing over that fence, like you do at home.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25'This house has lots of potential and the garden Teo wants -
0:12:25 > 0:12:28'if he can stop Alfie turning it into a football pitch.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33'But will their £250,000 budget be enough to afford it?'
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Bearing in mind that we are in Devonport,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38which is expensive.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41The area is nice, good beaches.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46I just don't feel this is the type of area I would want to live in.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- OK.- Personally.- Right. Fair enough.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- BOTH LAUGH - Fair enough.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Go on, then. Turn it over. Let's have a look.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01AMANDA SQUEAKS OK. It's a little bit over-budget.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06- Yeah. - By about 50 grand.- Yeah.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11You're going to, at least, spend another 50, if not more, renovating.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16'It may be a good price for Devonport, but Amanda can't see herself living here.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18'So, what's Plan B?'
0:13:18 > 0:13:20If we want to spend a bit less than that,
0:13:20 > 0:13:25we're gonna have to look a little further out from the business district.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I'm happy to look a bit further out.
0:13:29 > 0:13:35'This property definitely hasn't persuaded Amanda to give up the home she loves.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41'So it's on to the second house, 25 miles to the northwest.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43'Will this appeal to Amanda?'
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Oh, my God! There's a caravan! LAUGHS
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Yay! - You're joking!
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Oh, this is horrible.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- Stop making your mind up until you've had a look.- OK.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59'Property two is a country cottage full of character.'
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Oh, this is just not my cup of tea at all!
0:14:06 > 0:14:11'This house sits in its own land and there are no neighbours in sight.'
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I don't see the point in having ten acres in the middle of nowhere.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20'Inside, the cottage has an old-fashioned look.'
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Crikey. It's certainly a doer-upper, isn't it?
0:14:24 > 0:14:29- Doer-upper.- I'd have to knock it down.- This is a country kitchen.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Not MY country kitchen.
0:14:34 > 0:14:40Yeah. I'm not feeling any vibe... AT all.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- Hot tub.- I just want to walk out the door.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49'This house is open plan with a large living space and good size kitchen,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51'but it's not sounding promising from Amanda.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54'What about the bedrooms?'
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- A-ha! Yeah.- Whoa! - This is the third little bedroom.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02This is tiny. There'd be a massive fight between the children.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Bella has said she doesn't want a small room again.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- That's more of an office size. - Yeah.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- No, it ain't really us, is it? - No.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Let's go and have a look. Oh, it's outside.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- A little veranda.- Yeah, yeah. - Woods are beautiful.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21But that's it, really.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26- What do you reckon?- Never.- If we could afford it...- Never.- ..and have the money to do it up...- Never.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29You sound like you're warming to the idea()
0:15:29 > 0:15:33'For Amanda to live here, this may need to be the deal of the century.'
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- Let's see what it's worth. - Shall we reveal?- Are you ready?- Go.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I'm quite excited.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Oh, my God! Seriously? 224,000 for this?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Wow! I thought it would be a lot less.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53- Even if it was £100,000, you wouldn't want to buy it. - LAUGHING: No! No.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I really don't ever see myself here.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Even if I was old and grey, I wouldn't live here.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06'It's safe to say that the second property falls into the definite "no" category.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12'The final house is in North Shore, 20 minutes from central Auckland.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16'Surrounded by cafes and shops, it's also close to the beach.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21'So, hopefully, there's something for everyone.'
0:16:24 > 0:16:29- This looks nice.- It does. It looks more our sort of taste.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35- Yeah.- Spacious.- Yes. - It's nice, isn't it?- Very nice.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- It's a really nice size.- Yeah.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40'That's a much happier sounding Amanda.'
0:16:40 > 0:16:45It's a good space. I could see us making this more our kind of...
0:16:45 > 0:16:47LAUGHS: Wa-hay!
0:16:47 > 0:16:50..more our kind of house.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55'There are two fair-size bedrooms for the children,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58'and the master bedroom gets the thumbs-up from Amanda.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00'Is she coming round to Kiwi living?'
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- Lovely.- Yeah.- I'd probably put some French doors there.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- The fact that you're even thinking these things...- I can see the potential in this house.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12You can see us living somewhere like this.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15'Outside, the children have been exploring the garden.'
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- Do you like it? - Yeah.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21'Amanda has found something especially designed for Teo.'
0:17:21 > 0:17:24There's a little shed there to put bikes in.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Have a look inside. You'd be in heaven, darling.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Look! You've got a wheelbarrow!
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- A wheelbarrow! - You'd be well chuffed.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36'Finally, it looks like we found a real contender.'
0:17:36 > 0:17:41- The house is the right size.- Yeah. - With a little bit of work.- Yeah.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- A little bit of cosmetic work.- Yeah. - Few changes here and there.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- It's livable. - It's definitely livable.- Yeah.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- I think, over time, it would probably be a good option.- Good.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- I'm glad I like it, too. - Wow! We've agreed on something!
0:17:56 > 0:18:02'But will their £250,000 be enough? A lot is riding on this turn.'
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Go on, then. Are you gonna do it?
0:18:07 > 0:18:08BOTH: Mmmmmm!
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- OK. - Blimey. Bang-on 500,000.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- It's not cheap, is it? - No.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17We can afford it. Top end of the budget, but...
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Is it better than you thought? - Yeah, I think it is.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- I thought it was going to be 275. - Yeah. That's a good price.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- It's exciting. - Yeah!
0:18:28 > 0:18:32'The day of house-hunting didn't start well.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34'Property one was a disappointment for Amanda.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40'And the second house might as well have been on the moon!'
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Never.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47'But the final affordable house got everyone excited.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49'Has Amanda seen enough to start the week with a vote for New Zealand?'
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Based on the three properties we've seen today, we'll vote for...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Middle!- UK!- UK!- Our home.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- Why were you undecided? - I like our house at home.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- The gardens in New Zealand seem to be bigger than the ones back home. - Bigger than our garden?- Yeah.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Bella, why did you choose our home?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Cos I like our house.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30We've got an allotment and me and my friends go there a lot.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Yeah, that's true. OK, fair enough.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37We've made our home really nice and I think the houses we saw today
0:19:37 > 0:19:40weren't anything I would want to live in.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44The cost of the houses here, in comparison for what you get,
0:19:44 > 0:19:46just on the three we've seen...
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Yeah, prefer ours. - They weren't the right home.- No.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- Hopefully, tomorrow, with work and school it'll be a better day. - I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01House-hunting in Auckland was far from the perfect start Teo was hoping for,
0:20:01 > 0:20:07and he has a much bigger job on his hands persuading Amanda to give up the home she loves.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09But with everyone staying positive,
0:20:09 > 0:20:14could work opportunities in Auckland give his hopes a much-needed boost?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17'At home, Teo is a consultant social worker.
0:20:17 > 0:20:23'He's built a successful career, but he's realistic about his prospects down under.'
0:20:23 > 0:20:28I would probably be having to almost take a step down if I was going to go to New Zealand.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I've got more of a managerial position here.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Almost certainly, I'd earn less money.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37But I accept that. That's not really gonna bother me.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41If it was hugely different, then it would be an issue.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45But if it's just a small difference, a little bit less, that's OK.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49'Teo hopes to find work from day one in New Zealand,
0:20:49 > 0:20:55'while Amanda's in charge of tracking down a school that feels right for the children.'
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Alfie is very academic. Bella's very artistic.
0:20:59 > 0:21:05So I'd need to find a school that combines both those things.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I want them both to do as well as they can.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11'It's going to be a busy day for both of them.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15'Teo's come to find out what the job market is like
0:21:15 > 0:21:17'for social workers from overseas.'
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Come on. Let's grab a coffee. - Yeah. Thanks.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25'Pru and Kristen work for an agency that recruits healthcare professionals.'
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Thanks so much for coming to meet with us today.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31'The first question is, could he find work quickly?'
0:21:31 > 0:21:36- The New Zealand health system is very comparable to the UK.- Right.
0:21:36 > 0:21:42That's why we find that UK health professionals are quite sought after in New Zealand.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46They tend to hit the ground running because our systems are comparable.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Right, brilliant.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52The one thing is that the New Zealand social workers board
0:21:52 > 0:21:55only allows you to register as a social worker
0:21:55 > 0:21:58once you're in the country and you have a work permit.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03So that's one of the first things to look at once you're here.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07'If they emigrate, Amanda wants a school in place before they arrive,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11'so she's spending the day visiting one that's been recommended.'
0:22:11 > 0:22:16It's good you could come today to have a look at the way we do things in New Zealand.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18You'll have lots of questions.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Mum and both of you can ask as many questions as you like.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Brilliant. Thank you.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29'Head mistress Lee Hopkirk is happy to show them around.'
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Look, Alfie. They're on their boat. That looks amazing!
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- It was from our outdoor education week.- Wow! You can go sailing!
0:22:37 > 0:22:42The Year Five classes went to lots of different outdoor activities.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45There's a lot better school trips than WE have.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49'And the outdoor facilities are just as impressive.'
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Here, the children use the lake and the pool
0:22:52 > 0:22:57and learn to swim and kayak and sail as part of the curriculum.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I'd quite like to do kayaking.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03'This is a state school, but away trips aren't free.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06'So can Teo's salary provide enough for their needs?'
0:23:06 > 0:23:10I'd hope that with my qualifications and experience
0:23:10 > 0:23:14I could start, maybe, at a higher level than somebody who had less.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17How it works is that it goes on your post-graduate experience.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22You could expect to be, you know, minimum step five,
0:23:22 > 0:23:27which is roughly 61,362.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32However, you know, there are many steps on here. It goes up to 15.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- In here, it details how you move up...- Excellent, yeah.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39..as you progressed through your years.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41That's really good.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46'That's similar to what he already earns, and for a lower grade,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48'but is there work available for him?'
0:23:48 > 0:23:53I think you would be a great candidate for people.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55That's really good.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Thank you so much for coming all the way to see us. We'll keep in touch.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03If you've got questions, pop them through by e-mail and we'll come back to you.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Thank you. That's excellent.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08'It looks like Teo could find a good position,
0:24:08 > 0:24:13'but Alfie and Isabella have a few questions of their own to ask.'
0:24:13 > 0:24:16We do maths, reading and writing. All the same, probably.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21- How often do you do art? - At least once a week.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Sometimes, we have an art intensive and do it lots of times in one week,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28and then not again for a few weeks.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31'This school seems an ideal fit for the children,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34'offering art, high standards and sport.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37'But would it be easy to place them here?'
0:24:37 > 0:24:40We are a very popular school and our numbers are really high.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45- So much so that we're not letting our numbers get any higher.- OK.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49You have to be living in the school zone to come to Milford School.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52If you're not, the only way would be through a ballot.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56'It looks like good schools are hard to get into wherever they are,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59'but has Amanda been impressed?'
0:24:59 > 0:25:03I think the school is absolutely brilliant. I can't fault it at all.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06The kids really love it and the teachers seem really friendly.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11So yeah, it's put my mind at ease and made me feel a lot happier.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Yeah. About the move.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17'And what about Teo's verdict after his day of job-hunting?'
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Based on my work interview today, I'm going to vote for...
0:25:24 > 0:25:26..New Zealand!
0:25:26 > 0:25:31I'm reassured by the salary. It's very comparable to the UK.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33I always thought I would earn slightly less,
0:25:33 > 0:25:38because I would be starting as a front-line social worker,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41rather than the position I have back home.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46I'm really pleased that there's good career progression
0:25:46 > 0:25:49and professional development.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52It's... Yeah, it's good.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56'Before Teo can tell his views to everyone, Alfie chips in first.'
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- Was it good?- Yeah.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Where the school is is near the lake.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- It's really cool.- Is it? - Yeah.- It's lovely.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09- And you get to go kayaking on it. - And sailing.- And sailing.- Very good!
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- And they do football.- Soccer. - Do they call it soccer?- Yeah.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- Do they say they do art and netball, Bella?- Every week, they do art.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20AMANDA: Lots of art around the school, wasn't there?
0:26:20 > 0:26:24It's cool. A really big adventure.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Can we go and play now? - Yeah. Course you can.- Go on, then.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31'Then it's time for Mum and Dad to catch up.'
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- I was wondering how YOU got on today.- Yeah, excellent.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37They were pretty positive.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41We talked about the process, the help that they can give,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44the visa applications.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46The pay was OK.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51- They said I'd probably start on around 61,000, I think.- Mm.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Is that for a basic social worker? - Yeah.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- There was quite a lot of progression after that.- Really? That's OK, then.
0:26:58 > 0:27:04Yeah. They were very positive about the prospect. How does that make you feel about moving here now?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06It's made me feel a little bit better.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10It's not made me suddenly want to come out just because of A school.
0:27:10 > 0:27:16There's so many different factors, but that part has been really positive and made the kids happy.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21As long as they're at ease and know that it's not going to be scary for them, it puts my mind at rest.
0:27:25 > 0:27:31Getting two young children excited about the idea of going to school is no mean feat.
0:27:31 > 0:27:37Life in Auckland is looking a lot more attractive for Teo and Amanda after their fact-finding day.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41However, to afford it will mean getting a good price for their UK home.
0:27:41 > 0:27:47'The Armes are hoping they can raise over £200,000 from selling their house.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51'We've asked two estate agents to give us their professional opinion.'
0:27:54 > 0:27:58'Lovely room. Nice and light and bright.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02'Makes the room feel a lot bigger than you would expect it to be.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04'So, looks good.'
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Pink seems to go through the entire house!
0:28:09 > 0:28:13'Wood burner's a nice feature. I take it that's useable.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17'Sitting on a nice hearth. Kitchen-breakfast room.'
0:28:17 > 0:28:19AMANDA: That's really nice!
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- It's my favourite part of the house. - BELLA: My room's my favourite.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27AMANDA: Alfie's room! ESTATE AGENT: Good size room.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31'Typical of this kind of house, but really good size room.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35'Master bedroom. It's a big bed, but the room still feels a good size.'
0:28:35 > 0:28:39- It's a huge bed! - 'So, very good size room. Very nice.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43'Okey dokey, we have the third bedroom.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- 'The decor is nice and neutral.' - Get down!
0:28:45 > 0:28:49'A very pleasant room.'
0:28:49 > 0:28:53AMANDA: Your bedroom looks lovely! KIDS AND TEO: Ah!
0:28:53 > 0:28:56'This is a lovely family house.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00'Great location. I would suggest an asking price
0:29:00 > 0:29:02'of just under 200...
0:29:06 > 0:29:09'I would put the property on the market at...'
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Ooh!
0:29:12 > 0:29:14'I'd look to achieve 210 to 215.'
0:29:14 > 0:29:17That is a big price difference. I'm quite surprised.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19If we could get 210, I'd be thrilled.
0:29:19 > 0:29:25'That all sounds like good news, but can the Armes afford to live in New Zealand?
0:29:25 > 0:29:29'We prepared a comparison of their expenses at home and down under,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31'to see if they can afford Kiwi life.'
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- Whoa! Look at aubergines!- Crikey!
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- The kids don't like them, anyway. - We'll grow them.- You can grow them.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Right, OK. Loo roll. Slightly cheaper.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Yeah, but is it tracing paper or is it toilet roll?
0:29:45 > 0:29:49'Despite some items being more expensive,
0:29:49 > 0:29:54'their weekly shop would only go up by £15 in New Zealand.'
0:29:54 > 0:29:58That difference per week is not a huge amount, now we know we can...
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- It's an average. - Yeah. That's all right.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06'They're basing their calculations on Teo's Kiwi salary,
0:30:06 > 0:30:10'which they hope would be about the same as he earns in the UK,
0:30:10 > 0:30:12'but there is a big problem.'
0:30:12 > 0:30:17We'd still be worse off because our mortgage would jump hugely
0:30:17 > 0:30:20from £500 a month at home...
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- Yeah. - ..to around about 956 here.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- We've been lucky with the mortgage at home.- Mm. Mm.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31It's do-able, but we won't have much left each month.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34'With only one salary, the figures don't look great.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37'So do they think the move is worth it?'
0:30:37 > 0:30:41So, based on the cost of living between here and the UK,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43our vote goes to...
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- ..UK. - Yes, UK. Has to be.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- Yeah.- My heart is saying to me we can still do it, and I know we can.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02But my brain is saying, um... it's still quite a lot of money.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05The worry is, how much money would we have left over each month?
0:31:05 > 0:31:12- I don't want to be skint. - We've got enough to be here, so it's the quality of life you'd have here.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16But with that amount of money left, there wouldn't BE much quality of life.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20You couldn't go out for the extra meal, for the extra thing.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22And the holidays and flights home.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25That's just not going to be enough money.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29It's just not... The figures don't work out.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Even Teo found it hard to argue with the cost of living figures.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41Tight finances aren't a big selling point for Amanda, either.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44But for a young and active family like the Armes,
0:31:44 > 0:31:49it's the opportunity to enjoy New Zealand's great outdoors that could prove priceless.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54'At home, Alfie is a budding player at Norwich City Soccer School.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58'Today, they're joining a similar club in Auckland,
0:31:58 > 0:32:00'to see how they compare.'
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Alfie, do you want to join in, have a kick about with us?
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- Shall I get changed? - Yeah, we've got some kit for you.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14You look cool Alf, don't worry!
0:32:19 > 0:32:22'While Alfie and Teo warm up,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25'Amanda meets a fellow soccer mum.'
0:32:25 > 0:32:27So you come here how many times a week?
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- Sometimes three.- Really? - And then on a Saturday.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36I'm a bit of a fair-weather football mum so I only come out when it's sunny and dry.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- You don't even watch at training? - No.
0:32:39 > 0:32:45I do like to encourage him, but I'm not very sports orientated.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49- That's a good way, coming over here, to meet people, though.- Yes.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- I might have to change my outlook on the football.- You might.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55'On the pitch, Alfie is having no trouble fitting in.'
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Alfie, lay it off! Lovely! Finish it!
0:33:01 > 0:33:03It's good to see the boys playing.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- It's a pretty good standard. - They ARE a good standard.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Players that are good enough for the academy, they're noticed.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15They'll get invited to come along and see if they fit in.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Yeah! Goal! Great finish!
0:33:18 > 0:33:23So, if you wanted to sign Alfie, we could have a chat over a beer.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28- I was thinking 500 grand?- For nine, he's got some great skills.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33He seems enthusiastic as well, but 500,000? Over how long?
0:33:33 > 0:33:36'It looks like Teo's made a friend already,
0:33:36 > 0:33:39'but Amanda still has worries.'
0:33:39 > 0:33:45Coming over here as a new person, it must be difficult to meet people, that's my biggest fear.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48I found it hard, too. I just joined the school PTA.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52That was my way of meeting people with kids my own age.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55We do fund-raising, but we also go out for dinner.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Friendships have developed. One of my best friends is someone I met six months ago.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03I think I'm going to have to get my head round the lifestyle change,
0:34:03 > 0:34:05not only a big move.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09- Yes. I'm more than happy to help you when you arrive.- Excellent!
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- You're coming back for sure! - Yeah!
0:34:12 > 0:34:14'So, with Amanda also fitting in,
0:34:14 > 0:34:18'it's time to indulge Isabella with a Kiwi treat.'
0:34:20 > 0:34:24It's like being in Italy again, can you remember?
0:34:28 > 0:34:30It's going everywhere.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34'With the game finished, the boys are getting ready to join them.'
0:34:34 > 0:34:36- How was that? Did you enjoy it?- Yes.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- It was good?- Yeah, very good. - You done really well.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- Everyone was very friendly.- They ARE friendly. I was thinking that.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49'After a busy morning, hitting the beach is an ideal way to unwind.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53'The Kiwi lifestyle seems to have made an impact on Amanda.'
0:34:53 > 0:34:57I'd be stupid to even say, "No, I wouldn't want to live here."
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- Because it's lovely.- Yeah.- There's so many other things to consider.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- But this is pretty good, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07The kids are well catered for. There's so much they can do.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- It looks like it's all about family. - Yeah.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13The activities that the kids can get involved in,
0:35:13 > 0:35:16like after-school clubs and different...sailing.
0:35:16 > 0:35:22- On that front, I'm...- You're won over.- I'm won over by that. Totally.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25'It's been a great day out for everyone,
0:35:25 > 0:35:29'but has the Auckland lifestyle worked enough magic on Amanda
0:35:29 > 0:35:31'to overcome all her fears and worries?'
0:35:31 > 0:35:35Based on the lifestyle in New Zealand, our vote goes to...
0:35:46 > 0:35:48ALL: ..New Zealand!
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Woo, Bella! You chose it!
0:35:54 > 0:35:55Yay!
0:35:55 > 0:35:59How come you chose it? I didn't think you were going to.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03BELLA: I like it when the weather's nice.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- At home, it's all cold and rainy. - Yeah. Well done, Bell.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10- Brilliant.- I like that they do football and it's good coaching.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Yeah. Brilliant.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16It's sunny here and it's got loads of beaches.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18The place is surrounded by water.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20AMANDA: So, not much to choose from, Alfie(!)
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Alfie's speaking for me as well.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27This is the easiest vote, cos the lifestyle is fantastic.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- I think we all agree on that. - Yeah. Love it.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39A unanimous vote for New Zealand is a big turnaround for Teo's hopes.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44The Kiwi lifestyle looks to have shown Amanda that she could have a life here, after all.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49But leaving the ones she loves at home has always been her greatest fear.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Are you happy to watch it?- Yeah.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56- You're not going to get too upset? - No.- OK, let's watch.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02'Hello, Teo and Amanda and Bella and Alfie.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- 'Hope you're enjoying yourselves. - Bella's a little madam!'
0:37:05 > 0:37:08ALL LAUGH
0:37:08 > 0:37:11'She's a little squawker! Takes after her mum.
0:37:11 > 0:37:16'Alfie is lovely. Really well-behaved and gorgeous, isn't he?
0:37:16 > 0:37:20RUBY: 'Blondie!' AMANDA: Blondie!
0:37:20 > 0:37:23'You've got a bit of a crush on him, haven't you, Rubes?'
0:37:23 > 0:37:26LAUGHTER All coming out now!
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- 'They are absolutely brilliant parents, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34'They've both got jobs, a nice house, a nice environment.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38'Um, friends and family.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43'I've traced my family tree back to 1715 in Norwich alone.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47'So to walk away from that all, you know, your roots, if you like,
0:37:47 > 0:37:51'I can't really understand that.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55'With the tragedy in the family, I see he wants to live his dream.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59'He wants to get out there and do what he wants to do.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01'After losing one brother,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04'to me, it does feel a bit like I'll be losing him.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08'I don't know how often we'd be able to get out there and see them.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12'I don't want you to go. You know that. All of you.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15'I'd like to see my two grandchildren grow up.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18'I'd like to see Alfie play for Norwich.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22'Deep down, I hope she doesn't go, but...
0:38:22 > 0:38:26'There is a part of me that would like them to be around,
0:38:26 > 0:38:29'but that's just me being selfish, really.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32'I think, for them, it would be wonderful.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35'I know there'll be a few boxes you need to tick off
0:38:35 > 0:38:39'before you make your decision, and I know you'll make the right one.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41'I'll miss you very, very, very much.
0:38:43 > 0:38:48'It would be another emptiness for me, in my life,
0:38:48 > 0:38:51'but I'm prepared to take that sacrifice.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56'Live your dream and I'll just come and see you as soon as I can!'
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- Ah, blimey! - That threw you, didn't it?- Yeah.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04- Pretty supportive, really, wasn't it?- Yeah. Positive.
0:39:04 > 0:39:09But Dad made me laugh with his, "Don't know why we'd want to leave after 300 years of history!"
0:39:09 > 0:39:14That's so typical of him. He loves his roots and his history.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- To break that is huge. - I knew my mum would be supportive.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21I can see it breaking her heart, but...
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- I think they can understand. They can understand.- Yeah.
0:39:31 > 0:39:37Watching messages showed the Armes just how much they'd be missed IF they chose to emigrate.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41For Teo's dream to come true, it's the price they will have to pay.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44After experiencing the highs and lows of life in New Zealand,
0:39:44 > 0:39:47which way will they vote?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52I am a bit nervous about which way Amanda will go.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55I guess she must be stressing about it.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00But I guess she knows that it's her decision that's going to affect everything.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03I really like it. I can't fault the place.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06There's nothing... It's lovely.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10There's nothing I can say against it, so my dilemma is,
0:40:10 > 0:40:15do I give it a chance and do it for Teo?
0:40:15 > 0:40:17And maybe not just for myself?
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Cos I don't... I don't know. It's just not...
0:40:20 > 0:40:23I'm... I just don't think I could do it.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28I love it and if I knew other people were gonna be here, I'd jump.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31I think this is a good opportunity for the children.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34They'd have a good childhood here.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37There's always going to be minuses
0:40:37 > 0:40:40cos they'll be without family and cousins
0:40:40 > 0:40:42and friends who they've left behind.
0:40:42 > 0:40:49But I think the bonus of being outside and having an active kind of lifestyle outweighs that.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53I can see how happy he is. He loves it. He's just alive.
0:40:53 > 0:40:59He's come to life. So has Alfie. Bella's loving every minute as well.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02If Amanda does vote for the UK,
0:41:02 > 0:41:07we'll probably have many conversations, I would imagine, just for the next few weeks,
0:41:07 > 0:41:10next month or two, and then I don't think I'll bring it up.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14You know... There's no point flogging a...
0:41:14 > 0:41:17a dead horse, is that the saying?
0:41:17 > 0:41:20I need to stop being selfish, really.
0:41:20 > 0:41:25Do things for others, rather than holding them all back.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28'It's time to vote one last time.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32'Has Amanda been able to put her doubts behind her
0:41:32 > 0:41:34'to join Teo in his dream?'
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Based on our week here in New Zealand,
0:41:37 > 0:41:39our vote is going to go to...
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- ..New Zealand.- New Zealand.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48Wooo!
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Oh, UK!
0:41:50 > 0:41:54- Amanda, you've gone New Zealand! - Only with a discussion.
0:41:54 > 0:41:59It's not a definite "we're coming next week or next month".
0:41:59 > 0:42:01It's... Yeah.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04We shall see. We need to talk.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08But...the lifestyle's brilliant. The schools are brilliant.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12But the family ties are still strong, so, yeah.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Oh, bubsie! I know why.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Is it Nanny?
0:42:20 > 0:42:22BELLA CRIES
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Ah! Bella!
0:42:26 > 0:42:29BELLA CRYING: I don't want to go.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34AMANDA: We've got a lot of talking to do. It's not a definite decision.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38We wouldn't do anything that you didn't want to do as well, OK?
0:42:49 > 0:42:56After plenty of soul-searching Amanda's been won over by New Zealand, but with strings attached!
0:42:56 > 0:43:00Even though Isabella's tears are a reminder of how difficult emigrating can be,
0:43:00 > 0:43:04the Armes are looking forward to building a new future together.
