Thumbs up To all Brits in Adelaide!

Hi Ladies!

This is all very new to me and a complete first! I have been in Adelaide for 20 months and have settled very well with my family (3 kids aged 3,8,10 and hubby) and we all love it here! I truly miss English humour and would like to meet more British Expats like myself.

I enjoy days out with kids, girly nights out, dancing, cinema, gym and running, I am good at sunbathing but crap at swimming! Will give any sport a try for a laugh so count me in.

Well, I am not a lady but my OH is

We hope to be in Adelaide very soon ()

Not sure where we will end up but possibly Woodcroft area. Guess we could end up almost anwhere when looking for work.

We have three boys aged 9, 7 and 3 and a girl of 15 months. Mrs Cooler and I play golf, very badly in my case. She's not much of a runner but she is good at sunbathing I have warned her to be careful though - I'll be the one with the factor 1000 on!

British humour - the boss where I left said I had a unique one

Where are you?

Heellloo Mr and Mrs Cooler!

Exciting times ahead. Woodcroft is not too far from where we are, we are in Tusmore just 5K from the city. What part of the UK are you from?

When are you planning to arrive? I can always help you out with toys and baby cots etc. We borrowed everything when we arrived, it's not easy but we all help each other out where we can. People here are always very accomodating.

Well it's raining here too, has been for nearly two weeks so ur not missing much, but we will have sun and lots of it too! Yeeehhhaaarrr.

Thanks for reply x

Thanks MRS G and smilesoz.

We are currently in Manchester and was hoping for the visa by now but, there's always next week.

Word of warning, we are both very chatty

Rain, you have not heard what it's been like here, torrential rain although it is sunny here today.

Thanks for the offers, we'll undoubtedly take you up.

Ay up people,

Myself and the Dougettes, wifey and two boys 4 & 8 nearly will be making our way towards yourselves in the near future also.

Got all my trade assessments together and visa submitted just have to attach two of our passport photo's and then start waiting so aa little behind you Cooler it seems.

We have friends in Aldinga so will probs start off there and then set up camp properly where the work is.


Cannot wait..........

My life at the mo is usually being with the kids. My only get away is when I go to the gym! I've not had a good girly night out since I've been here either and I've been here 9 months! We can maybe meet at a park with the kids if you like. PM me.
