calNgary Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hiya ,,brissy is brill we are so glad we came ,we arrived from Bury Manchester last november and are loving everything life chucks at us ,,Id head for the gold coast ,everything you could want is there and its not too far to travel upto sunshine coast for a nosey around there.With your hubby being an electrician i dont think he would struggle for work either ,when are you planning on making the move for good ,as december would be a chance for job hunting ,just remeber its the big summer hols here over xmas so some places may be shut .

netballnut Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 We were thinking of making the permanent move sometime next year, once we have been and had a reckkie, When do most places tend to close for theholidays at that time of year? Hubbie is indeed an electrician and also has a BA hons degree in business studies but is quite happy working on his tools, although for the last couple of years he has took the plunge and been working for himself, He knows that he will have to work for a company initiaily, Do you know how long for is it 2 years!!!. The kids too are looking forward to the move , son who is 11 is not bothered as long as he can watch rugby league and play cricket, Helen xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull or Rovers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netballnut Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hi Itchyfeet. Well I can see from your avatar who you support and yep we too are HULL.In fact hubby and son are off too Bradford today, lets see if they can turn it around??? As they are pretty bad at the moment. Do you catch up with things on rlfans.com? When we come over for our 5week in december, we are staying with our friends in Tingha (Nathan Blacklock) for a few days, he misses HULL. Did you go to Cardif or watch it over there. Hubby and son are into most sports but I know will want to def see some rugby. Helen:spinny: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest itchyfeet Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi Helen and family Another loss at the weekend, I can't believe how bad we are at the moment especially after the last two seasons. I did go to Cardiff (that was a brilliant day). I don't get to see very much Super League over here as I don't have Foxtel so I keep in touch mainly on the internet, RL fans.com and have listened to DDD commentating a few games when the timing is ok. A bet you can't wait for December, Have you been before ? If we can help you with any questions or anything feel free to PM us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
