Good luck yo you all on your adventure.
You will do fine and meet and make loads of new friends.
I wouldnt have given out my details openly, you never know who is trawling for personal info. But that just suspicious me maybe.

Your children will get you direction on friends through the PTA and maybe a babysitting circle !

I wish I was with you.

Hi guys and welcome to Adelaide
I am planning a trip this thursday to Belair National Park from about 10am onwards as it is school holidays, would that be of interest? There are plenty of families coming - have a look at the thread and see if you can make it.
If not, then perhaps send us a PM and we can arrange to meet up some other time.

Hi Guys

We are arriving on the 31st October (from a not so sunny Doncaster). I am a nurse and a midwife (I trained around Manchester/Oldham/Rochdale). Our children are sort of a a similar ages to yours - well our eldest is 5. I have a friend who works at the Womens and Childrens - she keeps telling me that she will get me a job there - I haven't even got registration sorted out yet! My hubby is a nurse - he has a job at Wakefield Hospital on the ICU. Pencil us in for a get together when we arrive as I am sure that we will feel exactly the same. Three and a half weeks and counting!

See you soon

Hiya

Friends do make a massive difference to life here and once you have a circle around you it will feel more homely. Don't live too far from you and our little girl is 5 so will give you a call to get together over the holidays. PM me if you would like my number :wubclub:

Hi Alex and welcome to the forum :wubclub: Your last few months will fly past and you will be here before you know it. Make the most of time with family and friends while still in uk and look forward to making new friends when you get here. Our daughter is 5 so give us a shout when you get here and we can meet up.

Hi there
We live in Bessacarr - although neither of us work at the DRI - We both work at PInderfields. Andy my hubby originates from Doncaster - Cantley and says that your surname is really familiar. The person who I know at the W & C is called Renee (shes a midwife there - look out for her shes really nice - shes been in Adealaide about a year now). Look forward to meeting you (you never know you might even know each other!)

Hi surprise surprise its cold! Andy went to Wilby Carr so doesn't know you from school! We live not far from Dunniwood Lodge in fact if you straight from our back door would probably end up at the back of Dunniwood! I can and cant wait for the next few weeks to pass as I am dreading the goodbyes - but have been living with my Mother in Law for 4 weeks now and am starting to desperately need my own space!
