Im going to be based in Parnell working in Audiology hence my lack of knowledge on the Wellington area i'm afraid. i'm not surprised your nervous, it's a huge adventure to be embarking on, you kind of flick between nervous panic & uncontrollable excitement.. i really wish you all the best & when are you planning to arrive?

Hi ya Paul
If you go to the top of the page (right hand side) it says Private Message, click that and then go to compose (left hand side) put in Boopy and just type her a message then send she will probably pm you back so then you just click again Private message. I know she's been on nights as she emailed her earlier but she fantastic, I've made a true friend with her No we're not out there yet as we've 2 years to go yet, wish I was though. I'm in my last few months of nurse training and my OH is studying a degree in IT (we're very mature students) but we are also looking to go that way, either that or BOP but I suppose it's wherever we can find employment. Are you going out on your own?
