We have arrived!!!!!!!!
Well hello to all of you. Finally managed to get online, we are at the library, pmsl. Good job tomsk and her hubby geoff were around yesterday!! Well, so far I am still jet lagged and very emotional, lol. This plce is so beautiful, feel like its a dream honestly 
we have a lovely little house that we are renting thanks to tomsk, (mega thank you and gonna drink the bubbly you left us tonight as was in bed again last night by 10pm).
We ahve been to meet my new boss, very nice and like the feel of it so thats great news, managed to go do some food shopping, it is expensive but it weighs up and other costs like petrol etc is cheaper. Been to one school today also, but the boys felt it was too bi for them and like it in papamoa, so want to stay by the beach (wonder why)???? Gonna go dry by another school after we have finished on here over the mount. The flights were fab, cathay pacific cannot fault them one bit, however, the travel down was a nightmare just so tired, harri physically could not keep his eyes open, bless him. We seem to be managing with the jet lag as not letting ourselves sleep during the day, so have to bear with it.
All we have to do now is find a car as we have a hire one at the monent, so need one by next tues! Will log on and feed some more dietails etc soon, we have to try and find a dongle urgently as the boys are driving us mental so any help is greatly appreciated, will soon ask all at the meet up tomorrow though, so excited to see some peeps from on here, seems really unreal, lol.
Anyways catch up very soon.

Re: We have arrived!!!!!!!!
This house is also still awaiting that elusive buyer. Have had to make a very scary and risky decision (please all don't shout at once!!) of borrowing the money for the now, otherwise i could lose both uk and nz jobs (long story), so now tis all or nothing. i am aware of the pitfalls, but the time has come to take the bull by the horns and hope to god it charges in the right direction.....
:fin gerscrossed:Cheers
