Soapy's Mrs helped my wife out whilst she was recovering from a C-Section. She had a wonderful way about her and is a credit to midwifery. This was years after I arrived but what a way to help.
would love to hear how you guys are doing too?;) |

Re: Name and shame time.
Just to add.
if anyone new is reading this thread you can see that there are loads of people out there willing to hep. all you need to do is ask. most of the people who have been thanked dont use the forum that much, but they are always lurking waiting to help:sneaky: |

We really didn't have any help from anyone when we arrived in Adelaide. We got really lucky and were offered on arrival accomodation by the SA Gov't. We made quick friends with our Aussie neighbours & my co-workers. I did love going to the coffee mornings at Starbucks with Wendy and the girls. Not much better than a big mug of coffee while sitting in Rundle Mall watching the people go by.
When we moved over to Perth I got lots of help and support from Northernbird. We have lots in common and I think she's just a really nice woman. I met Sam & her family back in August or September and we became quick friends. Whenever I'm having a bad day or had a fight with the old man I know I can count on Sam to listen while I bitch. My kids love her, too. She has a pool and x-box. Our next door neighbours are a lovely couple who are here on a retirement visa. They've helped us probably more than anyone could. They watch our kids if we want to go out, even offering to take them for a weekend if my husband and I want to go away. They've become like surrogate grandparents to my children. I try to help out newcomers when I can. I remember all too well getting off the plane and feeling so out of our depth. If there's even one person who can make you feel welcome then it makes it so much less scary. Thanks D We love you lot too!:wub: |

Ok then without a doubt Curly and Shiels 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. Shiels 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 :wub: (edit: and they are Midlanders too, salt of the earth ;) ) For me, my help came from Moneypen20 and still does today, thanks Pen :wub: C x |

would love to hear how you guys are doing too?;) The Mrs is in need of a break and I am not sure how to give it to her as family support is non existent. At least I now earn enough money to survive through a new job although that may get made redundant due to a takeover in June. We will see what challenges his baby brother brings in June. I think we are mad. How is the Goldie treating you guys? |
