Thanks for the reply. I came over to NZ when I was 26wks pregnant, the doctors and hospitals were really good as I was a diabetics, monitored me really closely right up until the end. Stayed in hospital about 4 days as my daughter was only 5lb 3oz. She is now teething and crying alot.

Some days it is really hard, especially as I am a home all day every day looking after them.

How long have you been living in NZ

Hi there.
I'm about to close the thread as Intro. threads should only remain open for about a week. Please do feel free to start a brand new thread in the main NZ forum. If I see the thread, I'll make the effort to post a link to it here.

Eh? Dunno what happened there. I only look to close threads in the Intro forum after about a week. Not sure how this thread got caught up in that.
Sorry.

I can merge both the threads together if you wish Anwanti

Hi Sue,

I'll get my wife to give you a shout later....She meets up with most of the others in this thread, and we have a drink now and again with all the family....What age is your daughter? We have one at 14 and a son at 7 (or nearer 8 as he would remind us).... I'm sure they would make you welcome....where in the UK are you from?....Cheers

Thank you for making contact. I would love to hear from your wife, my daughter and I are not very busy at the moment so if we are invited we would love to attend a meet up with other people on the thread.
My daughter is 6 years old (7 in April 09) and is very much a tom boy.
We have moved from Luton, Bedfordshire and from what I hear the weather is extremely bad back home.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sue & Michaela.

Thumbs up Re: New To Botony Area ? need to chat ?

Thank you both for your response, it is really reassuring knowing there are people out there that care and want to help people settle down. Since my husband started work I have been feeling a bit isolated, a meet would be great but I do understand that everybody has other commitments. I am also seeking employment and have an interview next Tuesday (week tomorrow) with an agency in Auckland City. Hopefully we can meet up some other time next week or when ever is convenient for all.

Thank you again, you have lifted my spirits by being able to communicate with people who have been/are in the same situation.

Kind Regards

Sue:

Hi again Sue....

What type of employment are you looking for? Are you able to travel or are you looking for something in the Botany area?

Cheers
