Hi Julie, I am out at Beachlands so not too far away. We will have to arrange a Botany meet up at some point.

Moomoo has just moved to Botany too..... we will have to arrange something, although if its in the daytime my little girl will have to come along too I'm a full time mum and my little lad has his first day at school tomorrow!

Thanks for the reply Bellas mum , I am sorry to everyone who thinks I was just wanting posts from expats and scottish folks I ment kiwis as well !! As I didnt come over to live like a scottish person or from the uk , I do want to learn to live the kiwi way of life and fit in as much as possible!
I must admit I was feeling a bit lost when I wrote the post and was wanting someone to talk with, as we all know lots of emmotions going on and it is not helping that my eldest son Dino is starting his first post in Kuwait then Iraq with the British Army

Hi Sarah nice to talk to you, Be nice to have some folks around for a cuppa and a chat we could arrange a coffee at my house ? As I have 3 and half year old twins and it is better for them to play with toys etc as sitting at a local coffee shop me and hubby are saving that for our quiet years..lol
Or we could arrange to go to Chipmunks ? be good to get a few mums together the more the better we all need support..
Anyone wanting to arrange something just pm me thanks julie

Bellasmum

Take care and enjoy your NZ experience.

Hi julie looks like we've been here about the same time. We moved into our new house in Dannemora mid August. Been busy settling in but could do with a chat and a coffee, my youngest is the same age as your littlies and could do with a few playpals as well. PM me if you would like to meet up

Hi Julie

As SarahB said, we have just moved to Botany, but moving to long term rental in Whitford soon. Have been here four weeks ... Enjoying everything so far.

Just waiting for our container to be delivered from the port, then we can move to the new property. Frustrating at the moment, cos the container came into port on Monday and I am waiting on news of a delivery date.

I would love to be involved in a meet up and have yet to meet Sarah, so if we could all meet up that would be great!

I can do anytime/any day at the moment ... unless our container is delivered and I will be busy moving house!

Hi

I have been in NZ 9 months and living in Botany. Hoping to meet new mums, I have a 3year old daughter and I gave birth to another girl in May, she is now 6 months. Life has been all go since coming over from Britain. I would love to speak to new mums, might not always be able to meet up as its difficult with the two sometimes, especially when they are not on their best behavior.

SarahB

LOL.... you mean they are not little angels?? My little girl was born here and is definately a kiwi!! She will not wear shoes or takes them off at every opportunity. My son keeps his shoes on all the time and doesnt even like walking over the beach or grass barefoot.

How did you find the pregnancy/birth thing over here compared to UK?
