Signs that you are settling in...
1) Tasty cheese actually is starting to taste a bit, well, tasty!
2) You are no longer referring to Flip Flops as Flip Flops
3) You now call a plot of land a section
4) You use "no worries" in everyday conversation, especially at work
5) You've got The Warehouse jingle as your ringtone on your mobile...
Anyone care to add??

Re: Signs that you are settling in...
You add "eh" at the end of each sentance
You are the coach of one of the kid's teams on a Saturday morning
You've done a few sausage sizzles for the local team/school/etc
You don't even bother to look at the shoe rack when going out to put out the bins/clean the windows/clean the car
You know what daylight saving means

Spending life savings making our house warm!! I'll never get it back!!!
Not refering to the UK as home.

Knowing that NZ has shit loads of other problems but you weigh the pros over the cons and realsie that life is really good here.
Having finally found a good sausage..took just under 3 years!!!!!!!
Understanding SH1 is for the most part a B minus road from the UK

I've started saying 'rowter' (instead of router) and 'daaaahta' (instead of data) and on telephone voice recognition systems I shout 'YISSSS'.

Re: Signs that you are settling in...
21 degrees celsius feels a bit chilly
18 degrees celsius feels positively freezing
You can identify people on the radio and telly and know their names.
You don't need a map to get to the shops, work etc
The clothes in Ballantynes, Caroline Eve etc seem quite normal and fashionable

- Colby doesn't seem so dire after all.
- You're happy to eat 'bread' made for the toothless.
- You've forgotten what the washing up bowl is for.
- You get a bargain at The Wearhouse.
- 10pm's a late one
- You're shopping in your Red Bands.
- You've got a 'jersey' on and complaining about the cold to rellies in the UK because it's 19 degrees
- Fishing sounds like a pleasant way to spend Saturday

An Oildrum and chemical butt really does add to the appeal of that catalogue jersey ... (this was from a GENUINE catalogue )

Re: Signs that you are settling in...
You've been to see more Rugby and/or Cricket than you ever have done in your life
You automatically now say soccer instead of football these days as you know the Kiwi's may get confused
You know the number of your local Hell Pizza off by heart, and you just need to ask for "the usual" when you call up
You know who Wendy Petrie is...
