Hello Karen. There's no need to shout even though we are twelve thousand miles away (hee hee...please turn off the Caps Lock on your keyboard. All that capitalisation is the internet equivalent of shouting).

Anyway, life isn't that much different here. It's a workaday world here as well and most struggle to keep up with the bills as well. However, the scenery is awful nice here and a lot of life's joys are free if you are into the outdoor life.

Welcome, and if you need any help with the immigration side of things, crank up that computer and post away on here. Someone will be bound to know the answer to any questions you may have.

Welcome to the forum :cool:
As happynz said, still have to pay the bills and get up for work in the mornings :(
BUT: there is such a sense of satisfaction about being here and having made the choice to move :thumbsup:
Happy posting,
Karen

We are near Skipton and wish we were moving to NZ tomorrow but as we keep telling ourselves "Everything comes to those who wait!" but I'm sick of waiting :curse::curse:
