Re: WE ARRIVED!!!
Hi Aline,
Are you still looking for furnished places? A lot of apts are geared towards students so you will find some dodgy ones, if you go to one of the property management companies they have some better townhouses/apts but there may be a waiting list for available units. We found rentals are expensive in Fredericton, especially if you are looking for something non-studenty, there are some good properties out there though take a drive about as not all advertise on kijiji - try the daily gleaner too. There is a house for rent on Sunset dr they are currently doing it up but I haven't seen it advertised, apart from a sign out front. I also work with a guy that rents out property so I will ask him if he has anything available.
On another note if you are free on Saturday evening there is a newcomers pub night @ the Lunar Rogue on King street which you are welcome to come along too, there is usually a good crowd at it so you can meet lots of people.
Not sure if i can make it though my OH might go.
Good luck with your search,
Sinead

I think we are sorted!!!! (what a *monday* we had though) I really cannot believe it! Tara, from Colpitts Dvlpment has shown us an appartment (Abbott Court on their website) we just found it incredible - you bet after the horrors we've seen the rest of last week!!!
So we're going to rent it if we can
it is close to the major things we do Mc Do - with the play area 
Tim Hortons, KFC (usually used to be on MOndays and Thursday LOL), and the shop and the French School for next september if we do not find anything better before then.I feel we're very lucky to have seen that! It feels safe, good quality, nice and very spacious - check this out the laundry room/onsite launderette (me who's a laundry freak, LMAO) has a few work out machines!!! So I can even get fit - hourra! (been complaining for years - maybe ever! that I should exercise - NO MORE EXCUSES) and... and... it will feel such a liberation to not have a washer and dryer in the home! OH wasn't too much for living in appartments, but I think now he is convinced - to start, I think it might be for the best actually, and as we will be in a basement flat, we will not disturb anyone (our little girls can be very lively :-D )
So I cannot thank you enough for having pased the contact to me Sinurt, thank you, thank you ((((MERCI))))
That sounds very good that meet up on Saturday, am not sure we will be able to make it this time though - are children allowed? - and if all goes well we been told we could move in this weekend (either way we would be moving I think, as we also had found short time, better than the hotel)
Also, how went / is going your move??? Settled yet? (lol, it never is the same after each move!)
That's it for now, time to get moving -swimming and dinner and TV (large plasma screen at the Ramada)

Re: WE ARRIVED!!!
Hi Aline,
Glad to hear you got sorted we rented with Colpitts for over a year and never had any problems with them plus they were usually very quick to respond if we ever had a problem in the house. Is it in the new block of apts you got into? They look nice, good luck with your move
The meet on Saturday is in the pub and usually starts around 8 but you can take kids into the pub if you are eating (actually not sure if this is a rule we just usually are eating if we are there with our son!!) and I know others have taken their kids before - just as long as they are out before 10 it's fine.
We move on Thursday so have been busy packing, nightmare but hopefully this will be the last move for awhile!!
We will have to arrange a get together once you are all settled

We got the flat yesterday, yes the building seems pretty new in comparison of the others around which do look good too.
We also getting the car at the moment! ... and as we went exactly where YOU RECOMMENDED, THAT IS ENTITLING YOU TO A $50 FROM THEM I think...
So we should definetely get in touch!!! We are dealing with Rollie, and he told us that if we were to send anyone there to get their car we could get $50, so
I quickly mentioned YOU sent us there 
- just need your name and maybe details, not sure exactly how it works if they send it to you or you have to collect it from them?Really good luck with the moving and unpacking... have bought a place or just found somewhere better?
