New to Brisbane
Hi everyone, me and my fella moved over from Preston, Lancs 4 weeks ago. After spending 2 weeks on the Gold Coast with friends we've now got our own place in Coorparoo. Feeling a bit isolated a the moment as Andy started work the week after we landed and i'm struggling to get a job due to lack of experience with oz accounts systems. We're both 33, we've no kids, enjoy our social life and are football fanatics. Looking forward to meeting up with people.

Hi
There are some meets organised in Brissy. They are entitled Mummys meets but you are more than welcome to come along if you fancy some adult conversation as that is why we mums get together and we are not working so meet mid week.
There is a day out at the cricket on the 22nd nov for the OH's of the mums which is a kid free day out for the guys if your partner fancys going sign up as it will involve drinking
On the 6th Dec the mums are having a night out so we will be letting our hair down as we will be kid free. Dont worry we dont talk kids the whole time we do remember life before kids.
If you just fancy a coffee mid week pm me and we could meet up wed/thurs are best with me as I only have my newborn with me my daughter is at nursery.
