Well, we have been to the beech this evening for half hour, very windy but so refreshing I start work tomorrow and will is taking the boys to another school to looka round and hopefully they will like it and we can get em started. we have bought a car, been to briscoes to buy some stuff cos guess what they have a sale!!!!! Colandros, thank you mate just cannot believe how expensive food is though, however, everything else is not bad so it compensates it really. We are very happy at the moment and I have to say I am not missing the uk yet, although we have only been here 8 days. Yes 8 days!!

well, back to the boys, lol who I expect are killing each ohter,

Take care and will soon be on like beofre guys when we get a house and have internet, but we are managing fine Thanks to cate and jeff.

Tina and family.x x x
Well done to you Tina!!! Good luck!!

Good luck for your first day at work. Seems like you're going to be working with some lovely people which has to be a good start

Good to hear that things are gradually coming together for you. Hope you find a good school for the boys soon

You can get a pretty decent coffee served in most McDonalds here...even in a china cup .
But they don't do McFlurry's anywhere in NZ . That was the only thing I ever really liked from McD's, since I'm not really all that keen on burgers & fizzy drinks

I've been following your posts carefully and this thread has really made me smile (and sadly enough put a wee tear in my eye!).

Hope your first day at work went weell and that you settle in really quickly.

Please don't anyone tell my son about the McFlurry situation - he has been so positive about going to NZ and I don't want anything to ruin it ! Hopefully we will get over there and he will be too busy to notice !

Well, so far I am still jet lagged and very emotional, lol. This plce is so beautiful, feel like its a dream honestly we have a lovely little house that we are renting thanks to tomsk, (mega thank you and gonna drink the bubbly you left us tonight as was in bed again last night by 10pm).

We ahve been to meet my new boss, very nice and like the feel of it so thats great news, managed to go do some food shopping, it is expensive but it weighs up and other costs like petrol etc is cheaper. Been to one school today also, but the boys felt it was too bi for them and like it in papamoa, so want to stay by the beach (wonder why)???? Gonna go dry by another school after we have finished on here over the mount. The flights were fab, cathay pacific cannot fault them one bit, however, the travel down was a nightmare just so tired, harri physically could not keep his eyes open, bless him. We seem to be managing with the jet lag as not letting ourselves sleep during the day, so have to bear with it.

All we have to do now is find a car as we have a hire one at the monent, so need one by next tues! Will log on and feed some more dietails etc soon, we have to try and find a dongle urgently as the boys are driving us mental so any help is greatly appreciated, will soon ask all at the meet up tomorrow though, so excited to see some peeps from on here, seems really unreal, lol.

Anyways catch up very soon.

Tina. x
Glad you all arrived safely, Have been here since 2006 and love it! Good luck with setting up your new life. If your ever in North Canterbury and would like to meet up just let us know.
