Default Milford (or surrounding areas!) meet up??

Hi everyone
We (my husband, 19mo son and I) made the move here about 6 weeks ago now. We're renting in Milford at the moment and on the whole loving it here.

We made the move a bit blind having never been to NZ before and without knowing anyone here.

Now we've settled into our home and work we thought it would be good to meet up with other people maybe in a similar situation or just people of a like mind who like a beer or two maybe?

Would be great to meet up locally if anyone fancies it?

If you'd like to know a bit more about it, drop us a PM.

Cheers
Helen, Chris and Sam

Hi there
Thanks for getting in touch - sounds like you're a busy bee! We're really close to the hospital actually but both work full time so day times (mid week anyway) aren't possible.

Hey good to hear from fellow Leeds folk!
Hope you're settling in ok? Would be great to meet for a drink or two. Our furniture arrives this weekend woohooo! so we will be good to go for getting a babysitter in on an evening from then. Maybe a meet up in town would be good given our locations? PM me if you want to arrange something

Hope you're enjoying the furniture!

Well one is better than none! Although I'm sure we can turn the other... I guess you could say its the same for Laura and myself....

We're on Nile Road, how about you guys? Liking the area? I'm taking it you're far from settled....

Sorry the lady is not for turning......being a filthy red from across the pennines

Sounds like you're at the bottom of our road, we're just off Shakespeare

Just about getting settled now I think, funny it feels like we've been here ages, but then not...

I guess we all have our flaws...! Only joking Yes, we're the road behind Shakespeare... you'll notice lots of doctors live around here for obvious reason. Quite a few English people too.

So drinks sound good! Laura's parents are here for 3 weeks as of next week (our first proper guests) so this weekend might be an option (she's on nights so will have to talk to her tomorrow) or lets do something post-visit!
