Re: Relocation package: NZ to Sydney

Re: Finding peace and stillness- wrong place at wrong time?

It sounds as if you've applied Occam's razor to your situation and arrived at the simplest conclusion i.e. you don't feel New Zealand is your home. Don't practice resignation and feel that you're in...

Second the No 7 skin care and stocking up at Primark. That's exactly what I do every time I go to Britain. If only they both posted overseas :rofl:

Did she ever get any feedback why she was unsuccessful? it's really hard on kids when they've done their very best and they aren't told why they got knocked back. It takes a lot of courage for them...

Re: Best places to move to in Oz

I wouldn't put Canberra in the same league as proper cities like Perth and too a lesser extent Brisbane. It has some very good museums, markets and galleries but lacks a city feel, it's more like a...

Re: Dilemma with stroppy teenager!

Re: Thinking about moving back to England

You hit the nail on the head there.

Re: Best places to move to in Oz

Give Brisbane a go they're still building there and the GC is hosting the Commonwealth Games. Try to live on the eastern side near the coast so you catch the sea breezes, or on top of a hill,...
