I remember Steve'o giving me some TRA info that kick started us I think.
Suzy and Mark n Joe were great help too (fellow chippy wives) oh and Macker (where's she gone
)
With the visa process anyway.
Had loooooaaadddddsssss of other help and support off the likes of Curly, Sheils, Asher, Paul and of course the brilliant Gedge
Many others too really but I'd be here all day naming everyone. Aww it's a great place here sometimes isn't it

Lol, oops I got it wrong
She is ![Love](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wub.gif)
Lol, seems a few of us are confused.
Ok then without a doubt Curly and Sheils were brilliant help when we arrived. Curly drove me around for 6 weeks whilst I waited on my car, fed us, lent us stuff, gave us stuff, absolute stars. Sheils is golden, lots of info given and always there if you need her
I've settled in really quickly and it's definitely due to that help
I'd have been completely lost otherwise.
My lovely friends they are, I'm a lucky girl
(edit: and they are Midlanders too, salt of the earth
)

Go Bananas
Teresa
Simone
Siren & Brian
Vegemite Kids
Jopaulus
All the above helped me settle when I was ready to jack it all in and get a flight home.
Even offering to come and help me break out when I was working in some crappy jobs and missed the coffee meets
