Talking thanks for message

hi there alan&moyra AND iammenooneelse

Man I havent even been on here since August, completely forgot about site but I just got an email to my hotmail saying someone had replied!

I have been to Whangarei twice, had a penpal up there when I was aged 12-19!!!

I hear people think it is hard to get into groups of friends here, which is such a shame, I am such a welcoming person and cant believe people dont WELCOME newbies!

I have made some great friends. Had fish n chip nite at the beach with 6 friends on Fri nite, 6 of them I had met off the internet(one from USA, 1 Aussie, 4 UK).

I am on facebook heaps, too much, shocking! I also have an advert on Auckland Classifieds - Jobs in Auckland, Flats to rent, Goods For Sale Christchurch, friends.

Welcome to Christchurch, or HELLO Christchurch is the best city (if you are thinking of moving here!

Hey

What a nice idea!

Well me and my family will be moving to Christchurch next year.

As my hubby doesnt have a job offer i know that the visa will take about a year to get sorted, well on average.

We are planning to live just outside Christchurch in Rangiora.
But we are still in the planning stages of it all. But once we have our visa sorted, it would be great to meet up with anyone in the Christchurch area.

Cheers
Caz xx

Cool, so where abouts in glasgow were you from??

We really cant wait til its all sorted :) But its alot of hard work and some stressful times. Selling up is gonna be hard!!!

Been doing alot of research in all different areas of NZ, and initially we thought Wellington would be better, but after careful decision making, C'Church has won it for us.

I guess the kids like the idea of having better weather in the summer but still getting the occasional snow to play in over the winter lol

My only concern is work, but hopefully we will get jobs once we get there. Hubby is in IT, so hopefully he will find something!!

Anyway enough rambling from me.... oh i noticed u had bebo... add me if u want... Please Sign In to View this Profile

(oh the madamlindt thing is cos i luv lindt chocolate lol, something i'm not sure if u can get in NZ!)

Jeez, enough rambling from me.. us scots cant half talk!!!...
Take care
Carolanne xxxx
