Update!!!
All good and loving it here!!
OH arrived for job in may, I came at end of July, luckily being paid from UK till end of Aug as a primary School Teacher.
Started part time work at beginning of September and have secured a full time position in Jan.
Feel incredibly lucky to have got a job so quickly as competition is fierce.
Absolutely love it here and happiest I have been in a long time and hope to be here for a long while to come!!
Happy days!!! Love this site too - more of a lurker than a poster!!

I hear you on the friends thing, we are in the process of moving to Florida (currently live in North Carolina) and I'm going to miss the friends I've made in NC terribly. It's almost as wrenching to leave there as it was to leave the UK when we first moved over here.

Re: Update!!!
We are based in Auckland living in Ellerslie.
OH works in Penrose and I'm near Newmarket so all pretty handy.
We have been up to Bay of Islands, Piha and riding. Done a few of the local beaches. Here for a while so taking it slowly!!!!!
Getting a social life going has also been something of importance
