Wonderful....cant wait :-) will message you!x

Mine is big....but just think...less insects to deal with :-)

sorry....had a little giggle at this :laugh:...onwards and upwards as they say! p.s. did your luggage turn up?

Hiya! I was worried sick at the thought of my beloved 15 year old cat "Pebbles" keeling over after all the drugs she had to endure :-( and then there's the never-ending god know's how many hours flight from LHR to Sydney (Eastern Creek) - so I thought it best to send the cat first - 2 weeks before us...then I couldnt chicken out of coming! This gave me time to call everyday at 3pm (aus time) to Alicia who fell in love with my cat (thank god!) at Eastern Creek....apparently my cat was really good with the flight as it turned out - because she was used to Aircraft flying over us in the UK :-) something I wouldnt even think of! Older pets are better too as they are happy in their cages.....well this cage fitted me, my hubby and my 3&4year old in...so not that small! :-) Pebbles even had a nice box with a heated bed in it - charmed life for sure! When I finally got here (completely jet-lagged!) we went to see her...was one of the best moments of my life and totally made me feel better...10 days after this (my wedding anniversary) we picked her up - best present ever! She's just celebrated her 18th and really happy, although when its stinking hot out there I do bring her in and she doesnt wonder anywhere past the back garden, we have our house sprayed regular and am always careful with spiders...I'm on the coast so dont get many and the breeze makes it cooler...happy days now...so good luck with your baby, like mine it will surprise you! And fill us in when your here.x

Try Raine & Horne, Portside, Coastal, Global - all are in my region :-) Cooler (bearable) by the coast in summer too and you get to cool off in the sea! Nelson Bay is good - if you can afford and views are fantastic! Newcastle near CBD has also a great nightlife - if you see Stockton - its a cheap ferry ride over to Newcastle CBD, although recently has been a chemical leak up there! Check rental has air-con...need it when its really hot (to sleep!) Good luck!

Hello there, Anyone out there in our neck of the woods wishing to meet us? We are a happy family of 4 (southern softies - 2 kids aged 4&6) and would love to meet some more pommes over here and to raise a glass with for pure friendship :smile: Cheers and lets talk soon.x

Count us in to meet up...Hubby&i and our 2 kids (aged 4&6) would love to meet up :-) We bought a house in Tanilba Bay (very cheap up here!) and live on a wonderful coastline in a beautiful place - would love to help anyone wishing to settle near us looking just for pure friendship only :-) And for me to share the odd glass of vino with :-) We love to entertain so look forward to hearing from you!

We would be happy to be filmed - we left a huge amount of friends in the UK and have had lots of ups&downs here and remember the TV show very well - so would be happy to help :-)

Avoid eating bananas - read this somewhere! Use Euculuptus somewhere on you - apparently burns their senses...have no idea if this is true? Also the warmer you are the more likely you will be bitten - shower or swim somewhere before going out. Can you sit in the sun? hardening/tanning the skin is sopposed to make it harder for them to penetrate - good luck :-) I'm still sure that if you eat foods containing garlic they leave you alone!lol

I will ask my hairdresser if she can braid? If so you can come visit us.x

Hiya, you will love it! and its really hot here - remember to pack light and maybe a raincoat (just incase of the odd shower) and make sure you hit those beaches :-) I live up in the bay so contact me if you need any more info? Long flight but so worth it!x

No probs - life is really good here and just let me know if you need help? Good friends are bloody hard to find here, most I have met are fair-weather type!

Cool - Sherbertdip - whereabouts in Hampshire are you from? We came over from there! small world hey :-) Also think I paid Quarantine fees when I got here on collection of my cat when she was released and we also got to keep the wooden box she came in :-)

This list is good - dont forget the Centrelink / Family Assistance thing for those that have kids - have to register with them and provide all documents to them too :no: oh and the RTA (in NSW) to get your licence to drive!
