Re: Moving to Palmy

Quick update...it's on, we're moving to Palmy.
Last week I told my boss and he's been a complete dick about it which had taken some of the shine off. (Apologies for naughty word)

Re: Moving to Palmy

Thank you!

Exciting isn't a necessity. Just somewhere we can settle with a hope of buying our own place before we get too old!

Re: haggling on rent...?

We're currently in our third rental since moving here with our two dogs.
It's definitely worth asking if there's any negotiation even if a property says no pets. Some landlords are concerned that...

Re: Bringing my dog to NZ. .....?

Can recommend Golden Arrow, they were fabulous with our two boys.
Agree with costs given, but they're part of the family and were always going to come with us.

Two years?!

Just having a quick look at the site after a prolonged period of absence, and thought I'd post my two year update.

Re: Relocating Dogs to NZ

We arrived 8mths ago with our two terriers, we wouldn't have come without them. It cost a fortune, more than the cost of bringing ourselves over, but worth every cent. I have erased the exact cost...

Re: What would you have packed - Newbie fun!

Do you have to pay import duty on M&S deliveries and if so is it expensive?

Wonder if it's worth it for towels or make do with Briscoes?

Hello,
You are entitled to a funded flu vaccine as an asthmatic, but as in the UK it's only funded for those on regular preventer inhalers. So if you take a daily steroid inhaler there should be no...

Re: Finding a job in retail

Thank you, that helps. I think part of the issue is that he did set himself an unrealistic goal in terms of how it would take to find something. It's just hard to keep motivated sometimes.
