What a bunch of nutters! but i guuss that's why you're all either in NZ or thinking about heading down!

Hope no-one takes offence to a "real" kiwi joining the madhouse. I've convinced my Scottish OH NZ is the place to be & we hope to be in Hamilton/Te Awamutu in September.

OH has just had "approval in principle" via the partnership route so happy to help anyone with this if I can. We're bringing our 2 westies aka the wee monsters too, so any tips/advice with animal shippers (or DIY?) would be much appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
Sal

Hi Keeweegal

Welcome to the forum!

You are correct, a certain degree of insanity prevails amongst certain forum members. I won't mention anyone from Bermuda in particular, as both Bermy Girl and Shellbda like to remain anonymous.

And how could we be offended at a bonafide kiwi joining in?! Bring it on!!

Hi BG

Well, in a nutshell, (oh bugger, shhh maybe WG won't hear), I left NZ in March of 2000, spent 6 months in Dublin, 18 months in London & moved to Glasgow in 2002 after I'd met OH. Spent the last 5 years convincing him to move! Nah not really - just took him over last year & that did the trick!

Have lived in Chch, Auckland, Hamilton & Cambridge - might just settle down this time .. or not!
