Your first name
Marion, but commonly known as Maz online Your current location Wet, cold and dreary Chicago suburbs :( Where you hope to move to in NZ if you're not already there Most likely the Wellington area, and least I hope so! Family status Married for over 11 years with one 5-year old daughter Visits made to NZ We're visiting NZ in April 2007 for 3 weeks. Dead excited! :D Anything else! :) Our 2 cats would come with us, but we'd find homes for the 2 guinea-pigs! They only live to about 5 or so anyway, so they're middle-aged and would never (well, it's unlikely) survive the flight. |

Hi,
I've just joined tonight.... hoping to move to NZ in a few years time with my family (kids will then be about 15 and 16) when I've finished my law studies and got a few years behind me working as a solicitor here in the UK. Anyone working in the North Island as a lawyer, feel free to provide me with any info on getting jobs and whether there is a demand for Family lawyers.... :) Thanks |
