    If money wasn't an issue.......

    Would you live in the Philippines permanently and take a few holidays to the UK each year? Or vice versa?

    Would you live in the Philippines for the majority of the time and stay in the UK for maybe 3 or 4 months each year, perhaps over different periods? Or vice versa?

    Or maybe you would prefer to spend the time equally between the two countries?

    No. 3 would be my IDEAL choice, Jamie ... were it not for the fact that I'm diabetic and need regular access to NHS facilities.

    In all honesty Jamie if money was no object I'd go half n half. UK is so miserable in October when the clocks change, so I'd like to head off to Philippines for 6 months

    Mostly in Phils for me, but air travel would have to be first class, as it's the flight that I hate now.

    Money IS an object Jamie and I prefer to live in the R.P with my family full time with absolutely NO plans to visit the UK in the near or distant future.
    Absolutely love life here.

    Money no object eh

    We'd spend half our time in Philippines and half in Japan.
    No time in UK at all. Period.

    We have a house and a building plot in Phil but I sure do not want to live there, neither does Elaine.

    We live in Spain,

    Best of all worlds

    Phils everytime for me. I would come back here for 3 weeks once a year.

    Interesting!

    I would stay in the Philippines around 8-9 months a year altogether with maybe 3 annual trips away to the UK and other countries for the remainder.

    I would base myself here in the UK because it's a great country!

    But I would travel all over world, making frequent and extended visits to the Philippines.
