Re: We're Off
Not bad apart from turning into the elephant man overnight - infected glands in my jaw have turned the right side of my neck red and swollen...yowch...:curse:
Still working (just) and doing the dad things with two increasingly independent littlies....
How's tricks down Beachlands way?

Talking of littlies, my eldest Thomas, starts school in 3 weeks time! I have to buy him uniform next week and hes dinky as, so I need to go to Postie + to buy him smaller size clothes for school. Hayley is great and a right little girlie girl (no idea where she gets that from!)....skirt and dress mad!
Looking forward to the out-laws coming to stay in January and my parents talking about coming out again in the next couple of years.
I bought a new horse (avatar piccy) back in the winter and hes a pretty odd personality (we suit each other!).... have just got his teeth and hooves sorted out so we are ready to go out riding now. Roll on summer!

Re: We're Off
At the risk of going off topic......what me going off topic....never......
My doctor had to get a second opinion, he thinks it might be a bit more serious than I thought so I have had blood tests, foil wrapped antibiotics and will be seeing his colleague (who gave the "I've no idea if he's human" second opinion) in the morning to make sure I am still alive.
Worst thing is that I can't play footie tonight even though I feel fine apart from the stiff neck and looking like Jabba the Hutt's second cousin.......don't these doctors/our wives know that competative sport is a drug more addictive than nicotine.....??? Give me my boots....I want my boots......:curse:
Yeah its amazing how fast they grow and the personalities that blossom out of all that growth....
We've got to proper Kiwis now. Who love it here and love the beach/park and bare feet, throwing sand/water, and who don't care about the latest trainers, games, TV show or whatever. Sweet.

Re: We're Off
Thomas is in the playroom playing with a little friend, they are very quiet..... too quiet in fact!! 
Hayley has just gone down for a nap after watching lots of Dora.My 2 are addicted to their little crocs now, they wear them everywhere... Thomas has Spongebob, Patrick, Ben 10 and McQueen on his and Hayley has Dora, Boots, Iggle Piggle and Makka Pakka on hers....(amazing what you can buy on Trademe)
They are just starting to go barefoot a lot too now its getting warmer. I take them to the park or beach every single day if its not tipping down.... they just love it!I hope your face sorts itself out soon!! Sounds very painful and not very nice.

Re: We're Off
Well we fly tomorrow (Wednesday) evening flight out of Heathrow with a day break in Singapore. We arrive in Auckland late Friday night. The whole process has taken just under a year - some of the delay on our part.
Good luck to everyone still going through the process, and thanks to everyone who has so freely offered their advice and opinions on this web site.

Re: We're Off
Thanks to everyone for your good wishes. We are slowly finding our feet and now have internet access from the apartment. We have been looking at schools and will be looking for a long term rental in the next week. All is going very well at the moment and hubbies employers have been a real help.
Thanks again.
