Re: We have arrived!!!!!!!!
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

Re: We have arrived!!!!!!!!
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

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 !

Re: We have arrived!!!!!!!!
Well hello to all of you. Finally managed to get online, we are at the library, pmsl. Good job tomsk and her hubby geoff were around yesterday!! 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.
