Hi Bunstar!
Welcome to the Sunny Bay! :o) Sorry - havent been on here for a while so missed out on a lot - when did u get here? We moved to Tauranga from Welly back in June last year and we're loving it! (Been in NZ nearly 4 years now) We bought a (slightly major!) do-up in Cherrywood - think we were v lucky with the area cos we were only up here for a few days and scouted out the areas and bought within about 2 or 3 days!! Turned out to be a v good street (ok, prob worst house in the street but hey - we'll sort that out given time!) and so close to town (3kms) - we love it especially after being in Wellington and having a 10km 30 - 45min trip into work every day (and expensive cab ride home after nights out!).
Anyway, I'm waffling now - been on the computer all day so must go to bed now! Give me a shout if you fancy a chat or if u fancy a beer or 12 in town one night? Daz and I are always up for an excuse for a drink and bit of socialising!
