Brilliant news Mel and Cathy, well done. Very nice Christmas present for you! If you're still heading for Christchurch let me know if there's anything we can do to help from this end.

Thank you all for your good wishes! Karma to you all ( and anyone else who sends them! :D )
Jan, Mel has been offered a job in Auckland so were off there, he starts early January. This wasn't our first choice, but fate decided for us ;) . We are hoping to live in Howick/Botany Downs area and would welcome any help from anyone at this stage! :scared:
We will certainly look you up if we ever get down to Christchurch!
Anybody in Auckland fancy a beer with a homeless, friendless family on Christmas day :( :beer:

Mel and Cathy,

Thanks for the K, will return the favor :D

My partner and I will be heading to Auckland in a few days and settling there. I'm so envious at you going to East Auck! Partner raves about the area as she is from there originally (Half Moon Bay) but we have decided to move in the CBD for now, til we get jobs and def settle East once that happens.

If you fancy meeting up when you are settled, feel free to give a shout :)

Congrats again!

Look up a lady called Startright (Jean) on uk 2 n z .co.uk. She is a realtor for lets in that area, plus has a sleepout that she rents out and hosts welcome parties for expats. She is a scot and her hubby is a POm, they live in Half Moon Bay. Down that end is a lovely spot but can be pricey. Jean will help you out.

Congrats on your big news! :)

We live just another 20 minutes from Botany, in Beachlands, and are surrounded by lovely countryside....if we can help in any way just let us know!

Cheers
