hello everyone, been a while.

well thats me in Wellington. its great here, amazing city. loved Nelson,Napier and Christchurch too - but something really good about Wellington. maybe its the hills and the feeling/view you get after cycling to top of one or two of them phewwww!.

well update on situation.
holiday is over and fingers crossed on renting a flat - should hear later today ( its been a struggle ) but getting there. :) After some help from here again on wellie suburbs and some hard cycling i think ultimately Hataitai, Evans Bay, Roseneath are perfect for me ( went thu Lil Amy/Glenda's post and visited Brooklyn, Kelburn, Thorndon also ) but short term i'll try a flay more central.

got a job start next week, actually had 3 job offers earlier in the week - so any IT dudes out there wondering how buoyant the market is then i'd say its pretty good eh. i dont even have the .net/java skills which seem to be in even more demand. anyways all good on that side of things.

so back to the home side of the things. my main question is - when can i apply for a home loan as this is my goal rather than renting. do i have to wait til get citizenship? or been here a certain amount of time? or been in employment so long?

i did try searching the forum but couldnt really find info - maybe down to time, cos i'm getting ready to go support my fellow Scots in the Rugby 7s - thats another sign of how much i'm enjoying this country ...i'm not even into Rugby ;D

well any help appreciated, thanks in advance again.

justnozi from sunny and not so windy today Wellie. :)
