Hello from Scotland
Hi all, Ive been hanging around the Canada forum for a wee while now after finally being convinced that my desire to move to Aus or Nz was a bit daft and that Canada was the place to be! Hoping to move to the Kamloops area if my husband manages to secure a job, which im happy to see there are plenty of in his line of work 
We are a family of 4, The hubby (43 - a senior computer service engineer) Me (37 - a registered Childminder) and 2 daughters (10, and almost 8). Oh and the dog too, a 3 yr old Cavaier King Charles Spaniel.

Re: Hello from Scotland
It's funny you should say that, I just started a new job yesterday and all I kept thinking about was what new info I was missing out on here
First thing I did when I got in was to log on!

Welcome to the forum - lots of info on here as others have said!
We recently moved to Newfoundland from just south of Aberdeen. Loving it so far - despite the 8 ft of snow so far this winter!
