Re: Finances.. shopping.. making friends..

We are also mentally preparing...

Re: What brought you to the British Expats Forum

I think I started posting way back in 2009 (?) because I was desperately homesick after having my first daughter in London. Had never had an ounce of homesickness before and it hit me like a tonne...

Don't rule out Dunedin!

Yes, it's bloody freezing here (atm) but this winter has been relatively short and quite mild. We had early snow (in April!) and a few cold, chilly weeks and we have just...

Re: Finances.. shopping.. making friends..

Would have loved to, but fingers crossed our house will sell and we will be off probably in October/November time :eek:

Re: Decent areas in christchurch

There are no guarantees Lujam, all you can do is ensure that you have a Plan B. Do not burn all your bridges (financially) to get here. Lots of people feel "stuck" because they cannot for whatever...

Re: Finances.. shopping.. making friends..

Oi, I am not dull, thank you very much! I have a feeling Snapshot if you were in Dunners (or were we're in Wanganui) we would probably get on.

Re: Finally an update

Awww thank you, that brings a wee tear to my eye. Yes, too honest sometimes. At the ripe old age of 37 I am slowly learning to sometimes keep my mouth shut!

Thanks BEVS. Will keep you all updated, as if I could stay away from BE (maybe one day). We'll need a bit of luck, the thought of going back and negotiating school place, job, nursery/childminder...
