However, being Queensland they all like their bed early - thee and me may be the only Queenslanders awake, so you might have to cultivate some patience till tomorrrow!! In the meantime try searching on Cleveland or Bayside and see what you come up with.... (I'm in Aspley by the way, other end of town :) )
Not all of us!!lol Although Cleveland is well known for its nightlife(get chucked out at 11pm) I am up because I can't sleep...can't seem to get into that side of Aussie life...who the hell gets up at 6am by choice?

Cleveland is a great place to live, we have been here for 10 months and have a 9 and a 7yr old, we take our kids out to eat most weekends after 8pm and there are always plenty of other kids around.

feel free to contact me, I know a few people in this area with kids of a similar age.

It was that last glass of wine last night that sent me to sleep so I am sorry that I missed your reply. My 8 year old son, Adam, is really missing his friends and would love to meet kids of his own age rather than having to play with his little sister. They will be starting Cleveland school on the 23rd so it would be even better to have met the kids that they will be starting with. (Adam is very nervous)

My thoughts exactly but the rest of the Aussie family think I'm mad! Can quite happily stay up till 3, then sleep till 10....they are all up like idiots at 5 and worn out by lunchtime!! Mad as hatters the lot of them! :D

We would love to meet up! Our kids are sick of hearing the sound of our voices and need friends of their own ages. Also it would be great to speak to people who have been through the stresses and tribulations we have had. You may be able to teach us a thing or two...
When and where.. our time is our own at the moment..?
