hiya lardy

unfortunately or fortunately I frequent this place alot during the week, not so much at weekends (internet to bloody slow at home)

so hows life with you there in sunny old england?

lardyl

blighty is fine thanks ma'm.
a bit stressed as I resigned from work in July, having almost given up on NZ....then rather than taking up one or other of the job offers I had nestling in my back pocket there was an "almost" ideal post advertised in Auckland - hence we ressurected the emigration thing to the extent that MrsL had a telephone interview tonight - went well but I am worried that my application has been turned down as I have heard nothing ..... hence the NZIS comment earlier....
otherwise life is OK.......

lardyl

and how is life in Auckland?
good to hear the weather is getting warmer - does it put a spring in your step like it does over here in Europe?

Christmas stuff in the KMart by us...so scary

not really looking forward to christmas as such, boxing day yes but not xmas

i think we should rub it in that it is lovely and warm here

kwprwn

cant you call them to see how your application is going?

My visa application was done in 6 weeks but I was applying under the partnership visa so I know that work ones do take longer

lardyl

do you guys have "enforced" leave over Xmas - seems as though MrsL in MinEdu would and my potential employer (ESR) have some special leave in the holiday season.....bet this makes holidays at that time of year tres expensive!!!

lardyl

not submitted the EOI yet - it is complete with me as principal and if I add MrsL as having a job we're in......however, originally the plan was for her to work p/t and me to work f/t (like here) but as her job hunting is 100x more advanced than mine I guess that will ahve to change....
any ideas on saving the online form as a copy so that I can set it up ready for both eventualities - "yes" I was a cub scout ---- dib dib dib -----

kwprwn

indeed it does especially as I have done an eternal winter, winter in uk and then winter here...not the best timing in the world

warmth at last

lardyl

let me rub those chilblains.......
oh and pass the hot chocolate - love the Blacks stuff - time for you to feel jealous....... ??????

lardyl

if you ask me nicely I'll delete this post.....

I'll get me coat.........

I love christmas
thanks for the sweet.
Sorry, I get confused about who's heading where, are you the ones planning to move to auckland?

lardyl

yep, we're 'ckland fodder....siiirr....
easy to confuse all these wet behind the ears potential "poms" I'd wager.

lardyl

you kindly provided some advice on the Browns Bay area as I recall..... thanks for that.

done a bit more NZIS snoring so off to bed .... nighty nite each.....

Jude J
