New to the site, Newish to New Zealand, Looking for Friends
Hi all 
, Just discovered this site, a bit behind the times. My husband, myself and my 8 month old daughter moved out here at the end of September 2010 and I have to admit we're struggling. We love NZ but we're missing home, mostly our friends. As a new mum I'm missing friends to talk baby with, have tried Plunket's groups but sadly keep getting cancelled on me. My husband and I are in our early 30's and we're simply looking for some mates to hang out with like the one's we had at home. We're on the North Shore in Glenfield if anyone's interested in meeting up.

Re: New to the site, Newish to New Zealand, Looking for Friends
Hi Nearly Kiwi,
We're moving out to North Shore end of Feb early March - It's definately tough starting over with a new bub. We done the same when we moved to OZ, we had our daughter after being in the country for 4 months. We are about to do it again as we are due for our next baby on New Years Eve and then move to NZ in Feb/March.
We are both in our early 30's aswell from Kent originally. We would be keen for a catch up when we get over...

, I'm sure there are other BE members in your area so hopefully they will be in touch, in the mean time try checking out the 'meet ups' thread and posting on here in the main section. I'm sure you'll find some 'mates' in a similar positionB x

Hey Seansueplustwo
I suspected but it's a relief to know for sure that there are more people out there in a similar position to us. Would love to meet up when your here, good luck with the new baby and the move. I'm not that knowledgeable about NZ and the North Shore but have learnt a fair bit since we've been here so any advice I can offer do not hesitate to ask. Thanks for replying to my thread and keep in touch.
