Re: Adelaide
You met E?! - we aren't all as nutty as her - honest (Only kidding, I love her really )
We are meeting at 10:30am in the city, just behind the Telstra building. We will be there for a good few hours, probably around 1:30 - 2pm ish. Tell work you have a blinding headache when you get in there in the morning, and leave at 11am Full details are in the meet up forum http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=553737
I have met a lot more Poms here that love Adelaide than ones that don't

We'll sort something out Do you have E's contact details or does she have yours? Then I can get in touch with you even if you don't get on here.

Re: Adelaide
Thanks guys for all the reasurring replies! I think if someone asked me what school I went to I would say "sorry mate, it was so long ago i dont even remember! harr!"
Farideh, good to hear that you miss adelaide after living in the Gold Coast which from what I hear is supossed to be a very exciting place. May I ask, are you persian? My auntie is called Farideh!
Thanks for the invite Wendy. I met up with Pinkie and she told me you were lovely and so helpful! Told her I would be interested in coming to the next meet up. I will be working in North Adelaide on Friday. What time is the meet and Where? also how long will you all be down there for? I think it would be easier if i knew some people here. Its anoying because we actually have many friends and relatives in OZ but they are all in Sydney!
If anyone knows anything about starting businesses here I would greatly appreciate it.
Good to hear positive stuff about living in Adelaide

Re: Adelaide
We budgeted also for being out of work for at least 12 mths, I got temp work also, then offered 2 governement positions, although very grateful of those jobs, not what I wanted, but i still took one of them to help with funds, hubby went for anything and everything, was just unlucky I suppose, some employers were very patronising and thought they had the power of a prime minister I found that most people in Adelaide reluctant to help,this is just my opinion, I didnt meet very many genuine ppl there, the few I did meet we stay in touch, Adelaide itself, is a lovely place to live!

Re: Adelaide
Yep its just unfortunate, you cant help the ppl you meet, makes you realise, your best to stay strong and not rely on anybody!

Re: Adelaide
Wendy, E has my mobile number, ask her to give it to you. Funny calling her E! Hope u ladies have a great time and think of me working hard and trying to readjust to working life after over 2 months of bumdom.
Salam, khoshal shod am! Their business is doing very well, everytime we are in there (every week, sad I know) its busy and there is a queue for the till. They have even started hiring belly daners for the restaurant! We havent been yet but plan to on a saturday. I know what u mean about the iranian food in london, its the best! but there, all the iranians know the best one from word of mouth so everyone goes there! Am keeping fingers crossed about this one. The lovely girl that works there told me that the chef is on of the best from Sydney (but u know how Iranians exagerate!) so will let u know once we have sampled their wares.
lol its so true about Iranians being so curious about things! We have no children, its just the 2 of us! Did you move here from London? What made u guys want to move? (also have iranian nosiness in my genes) We live in Kensington Gardens near Norwood. Its quite a nice area.
What is it about GC that you dont like (iranian nosiness again!)
Salam Mitra va Ahura then I was about to say are you kidding me, there is one, when we were in Adelaide they were building it but the supermarket was just opened.
I have been to 2 Persian restaurant here one GC & another in Brisbane, but they just dont know how to do it right they need to go london for training.
So were about in Adelaide have you moved to, do you any children?

[QUOTE=Wendy;6687959]It's all crossed mate, been that way since you left - I've put on 15 stone in weight cos I can't go to the loo
LOOOOOOOOOOL, you are good, no wonder I'm missing you, missing your sense of humor, where is Julie I dont see her, is she checking that horse out? , is that the reason I have put on weight then, & that has nothing to do with me not going to the loo.
