Re: Brisbane and surrounds, meet up 10th November
 
[QUOTE=FluffyTheCampfireSlayer;5367157]OK, here goes - I am going to attempt to arrange a meet up!! :eek:

We are Rob 34 and Caroline 27. We have been in Oz for 4 weeks now and have settled into a lovely unit in Redcliffe, just North of Brisbane. The only thing missing is a social life! :(

We would love to meet up with others in the same boat for a drink and a chat.....

We are open to ideas on where and when but thought that for a starters, a Sunday would be good!

As a suggestion, Redcliffe itself is fab on a weekend. Beaches and parks a plenty and generally a nice place to 'get away from it all'!

So...who's up for it?[/ yeah

Anyone else interested? We will probably be sat on the front patio, and I'll bring the witchy hat :D
Anyone who is unsure about turning up and meeting a bunch of strangers, pm me and I'll send you my mobile number, then you can give me a shout when you get closer and I'll make sure you find us :)

Mandy, if you'd like to come, don't feel shy. I can pm you my mobile number and then you can give me a call on Saturday if you like before you get there. It s nor going to be a big meet, and we're all very friendly, honest ...I think.....apart from that Soapy bloke, and he's just odd :D :D

Mandy...don't be nervous matey! :)

We've only been here a couple of months and are in the same boat!

Believe it or not, not all of us actually know each other - yet! So, we are also nervous! Sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet eh?

My other half is nice (one of us has to be) and likes a chat - come along and meet some of us! :)

MY little boy who is 5 will get bored,and then i will get the hump with him,coz he will make me feel like i will have to go home,just to get him off my back.He has a gameboy but that will only keep him happy for an hour if im lucky.At least when the oh is about we can take it turns with him,then its not so bad.
Im making him sound like a right bloody monster,he isnt honest,but you know what kids are like:frown:
