More to life than house work, but footie chick why do you think your not old enough to go to NZ

r.bartlett

careful now firing1 is here don't forget..

anyway as they said 3 months condensed into a 1hr prog..sure she likes things clean..that's not a crime though is it ??

lorna's a very clean person too and you sure come to apreciate it being around it for a while I can tell you...

(I would need a spectrogram to find the dirt she comes up with but we have a clean house to live in and it always looks lovely..)

I must admit nz looked nice although the houses lacked something as it all looked rather bland..

still i feel that it should have been a series rather than a slot

cheers

Only a baby well in my eyes! Would consider it when i`m a little older but i can`t put my finger on it, right now its not for me but if other half had his way that is where we would be heading.

Enjoyed the NZ programme, interesting and yep I'll give it go attitude ...

BUT thought the family featured were pushing forward's to FAST, almost like out the frying pan (uk) into the fireplace (nz), and not having sold their house ouch !!!

NZ did look a nice way of life though

thought nz looked a little lonley, nobody seemed to come out of their house to welcome them, looked like zoe was not enjoying her self to much. Just looked very bland the road that they lived in like nothing going on.

This the most enjoyable one yet. Those locators were hardly in it(a good thing).
Off to NZ with family has soon as possible and by coincident where moving to Tauranga. Can't wait, never been but lived in the US for three years and I'm use to not seeing family for long periods. I suppose Firing 1 cleans so much because of boredom because before they moved out to NZ she was doing has much as Paul. Good luck to them. Hoping to meet them when we get out there. Very organised people!

Definitely the best so far but that's probably because it's relevant to us on the newsgroup.
Still haven't changed my mind about the "re-locators", absolutely bloody useless I would not let them move my dirty washing to the laundry !!
How can they say that they were moving too fast ? didn't the programme makers realise that the couple had done all the hard work before they got involved with the programme and the decision already made to emigrate?

What do you mean?

"but what about that woman!!!"

We all deal with crap differently. We'll all find out soon enough how we'll handle the stress of kids that miss friends and family. Us missing friends and family, a routine, free local calls to anyone that will listen the list is endless. I love a clean house but have'nt had one since I had children and husband. I gave up a longtime ago.

What a sauce!

As was PROVED, I would say, in a recent thread started by pleasancefamily, NZ is better than Oz in so many ways, and one of those many ways was in its excitement. There are scores of under 40s here and we are living life to the max and larging it - we just do it in a more dignified way than the Ozzies. Many's the week when there are electric shopping trike races up and down my street, spreading oil all over the roads (avoiding the flower beds though) doing donuts and chelsea buns all night. And bands too - The New Seekers played here recently and you wouldn't have liked to have seen the aftermath of that particular celebration of music: trusses and sherry everywhere.

So before writing off NZ as the place to be, why not give it a go? If you're quick, you will get to see Michael Barrymore live - he's on tour at the moment over here.

Well slippers

After that reply maybe i could change my mind but the mention of `Michael Barrymore` no still fancy OZ.

But that is an individuals choice.

Definitely thought this one was better than the Brisbane one. One thing that got me about both of them is that the families seemed to be lonely. There was nothing about meeting new friends, etc. I know these things take time but I think having different people to talk to on a day to day basis would take some of the stress out of it.

I did think NZ looked lovely though.

Well, if you can't take the heat.

You are weakening though I can see it. There are still tickets for "Britain's funniest man".

According to her they had moved to the other side of the world for a less stressful lifestyle but she didn't seem able to let go of anything. A bit of sand in the house- Oh dear!!! If she didn't want sand in the house don't go to the b****y beach!

And her poor children had been through as much upheaval as she had (especially the little girl) and she didn't IMO give them the support that they needed. It's just as hard for the children to leave their friends- the little girl saying goodbye to her friends at school was heart wrenching- but all the mother did as far as i could see was give them a hard time.

That is just my view point and was how i saw the programme.

footie chick

He he well you got a laugh can`t say the same for the `funny man` wont show this to other half as he would like to go to NZ purely for the skiing he is a snow freak.
