Other NI job offers were in Hamilton - a place we hadn't considered before and didn't get a chance to check out as interviews were on our last day in NZ en route to Auckland to fly home. Still it's all good news so far. Where are you moving to?

We're off to Blenheim, South Island hopefully flying out by 9th April. We've just booked our leaving do

Kev was offered a job by a company in Tauranga. I wonder whether its the same one??? Got initials in their title.

You may find that you get offered more in the next few weeks that's what happened to us

Kev's boss is gonna arrange for us to be picked up from the airport & sort a motel for a week or so for us which should give us some time to get our bearings, sort a rental & get kids into school.

Kev should be starting work on 16th April if all goes well

Forgot!!! Kev gets his own 'monster' truck to go with the job too

Reckon it is complusory for the South Island. Hopefully you guys can use it over the weekends, great for getting away, camping etc! (and for carrying your stubbies from the bottle shop!)

The trout is eating apple pie & custard - which nearly ended up being spat out over laptop screen through laughing at your post

My pout has now returned to normality

Have sent you pm. Blenheim's supposed to be beautiful and hotter than Auckland. Hope everything goes well for you and you settle in quickly in your new life. Sounds typical of the kiwis to be so helpful with getting you picked up and settled in; everyone we talked too was so friendly and laid back and only too happy to help, it made a refreshing change!
