Well, I just got a confirmation call, there are 6 people shortlisted for this team leader role job tomorrow ... and there will be 3 definite job offers made (so I got 50% chance of getting a job) ... and then if there are 4 or 5 good candidates who get a good enough score, then they may be willing to open up a few extra posts.
It's a very cash rich company who can do that sort of thing.
Thanks everyone for your wonderful encouragement. I really appreciate everything.
As for owning my own house ... that's how I was able to live in the Philippines for a year - I had tennants.
But now, I'm back living in my house. It's a 4 bedroom house that's fairly spacious. I am very priveleged - at my age - to own this.
This means that even if I do eventually end up with a job that doesn't pay a huge amount, my living expenses are really small.
Own house, no mortgage, Own car - no monthly payments, cheap insurance, cheap to fuel. It'll be a beautiful life when I have my job and my wife here, then ... life will be great

we need NOTHING else
Again, thanks to everyone for the help and the nice words
