I've got a copy of Billy Connolly's World Tour of NZ. I think Dawn will have to make a new one of her own - Dawn's World Tour of NZ. Put me down for a copy, please.

Laura, would be lovely to have a meet up, have sent you a PM! Jimnshov, we live in Omokoroa! Give us a shout when you arrive and we will be happy to supply coffee and cake! You have picked a great spot to come and live, we totally love it here, will prob have to give MB or Taffy a shout with help on uploading pics but will try very hard to put some Omokoroa pics up (but shhhh don't tell everyone how lovely it is)

Depends where you've got your photos stored, Fingerscrossed. If you have them in something like Photobucket or Flickr, it should give you a link with the img tags at either end, like this . You can just copy that and paste it into the message box on the forum.

Other than that, if you have photos on My Pictures or similar, if they are jpg files and you can reduce them to about 97kb you can scroll down from the message box to where it says Manage Attachments and click on that. It'll allow you to browse to the pics you want, so if you do that for each photo and click on Upload it will do it for you. Getting the sizing right is the crucial thing or it won't accept them. Bit of a pain really, but I guess it saves space on the bandwidth or whatever they call it. Once you can see the photos are attached you don't need to do any more. Just finish your message and, when you submit it, you should see the attachments under your post. If you get stuck, just yell.

Smile Hello from Tauranga!
Hi, not sure I have got the hang of adding bits to threads so may well mess this up! We are hoping to move to Bay of Plenty before Christmas glad to know that you are settled in and only missing Haggis.

How long have you been over there? We have an 11 year old boy (Thomas) & a 7 year old girl (Sophie) been trying to look at schools and work out where and which one.

Do you know anyone who sails over there, as a family its something we do and want to ensure that its something we can continue in the Bay.

Sailing in Tauranga? You can't move for it!

There's 2 (possibly 3) large marinas in Tauranga/Mount Maunganui. Sailing is certainly a popular event in that area, and you'll soon make some great friends once you get out there.

Hi Sailaway! Taffy is right, sailing is huge here! We have our very own boat/sailing club in Omokoroa and our eldest sailed up to hot water beach up in Coromandel in the summer holidays with her pals parents so even if you don't own a boat, you meet loads of folk who are happy to take you out for a sail..............me I am happy fishing at the wharf (very exciting even if I only seem to catch tiddlers!!)

Feel free to ask away any questions about Tauranga, we've been here for almost 11months now and really love it here.
