I've moved this up here Johnty as it deserves to be more in public view. Not everyone ventures down to Taffy's Cafe as they may feel there's only a load of trivia in there and they miss out on some interesting posts.
Great to catch up on all your news and to know that things are moving forwards for you. Have you spotted the link to New Life New Zealand on the Home Page
Urgent job vacancies ? Click on the blue NLNZ link near the bottom. There's jobs going there for sparkies. Worth a try.
Good luck with the job hunting, anyway and keep us posted.
