Well Said LC!!! Can not agree with you more! Its a hard road, and the more support we can give each other in a structured way the better. I would love to look at starting a group - we have office in Brighton and can easy start a group there. Pls send me a private message if anyone is interested! In Grow we say, "Problems shared are problems halved, resources shared are resources multiplied".

Hi Tamara - Thanks for your reply. Can not agree with you more - moving to another country bring along very unique struggles and it does take a major strain on relationships. I wish I knew about Grow when I first arrived - would have saved me many tears! I would love to look at starting a support group. We have office on Brighton rd, so very central. We can either meet at night or during the day. Please contact me if anyone want to know more or just want to chat. Lindi

Hi All, I would like to see if anyone would be interested in joining an "Expat" support group. I'm working with an organisation called Grow - we run support groups in the community and focus on overall wellbeing. As an expat myself I know how this can bring it's own set of problems and concerns. Our groups are totally confidential, and we use a 12-step program, we work on practical problems and solutions. If anyone would like more information please contact me and I'm happy to have a chat. For more information about Grow, see our website. http://www.grow.org.au Regards, Lindi

Hi All, I would like to share the details of a lovely playgroup I joined about 2yrs ago. Being an expat I know how hard it can be to make friends and just get out the house for a cuppa with some friendly faces. It's a well run playgroup with acitivities the little ones will love and a lovely group of ladies. Seeds Uniting Church, 42 Sunnymeade Drive, Aberfoyle Park Monday - Thursday, 9:30 - 11:15am Please PM me if you want any more details. I go on a Tuesday with my little man and it was such a safety net when I first arrived, and we still look forward to it every week! Hope to meet some new mum's and little ones

Thanks so much, do you think it will be suitable for a 4th birthday party?

Hi, Can anyone please recommend a good children's party entertainer, someone who can do magic tricks and maybe a puppet show? Thanks!

Hi, I have a Mothercare high chair to sell, $50 - used but in very good condition. Collection Aberfoyle Park. Please message me if you are interested and I will mail a picture. Lindi

Hi All, Wow, reading my original post I can't believe so much has happened since then – had another baby and moved to Oz!! We have been here 3 months now and I must say it’s lovely – I really like Adelaide. For us it was between Perth and Adelaide and so far we are very happy with our decision. We do miss the UK, more than what I thought – cost of living is very high here, even compare to the UK.......... I miss the ease of the UK, miss friendships – but then we have gained so much as well. We have two little boys and they love the outdoor life – here you can plan a bbq for the weekend and know it will happen and not be rained out!!! It is still very early days for us, but so far from what we have seen it’s a great life and the mould is there for you to do with it what you want. Takes time to get use to the work environment, but it was when we moved to the UK many moons ago – so I’m sure with time it will all fall into place. We are still getting settled, but every day we are closer to feeling a bit more at home..... We have already met some lovely people, there is a very big South African community here and they are all very helpful. “Moms in Adelaide” is a lovely group to join. Bridget – from what I have heard the Woman’s and Children hospital in the city is very good – you may want to research them to answer some questions. Also Flinders Medical centre........ send me a PM if you have any other questions, or just want to chat. We have only been here 3 months, so may not have all the answers but will help with what I can. Good luck – it’s a ride...... Lindi

Hi, we can be there for about 12ish............ Lindi and boys

Thanks so much for all the info!!!

Hi, I'm looking for a music class (like music minis) for my toddler - 14 months old........... ideally for a Monday or Wednesday morning - we are in Aberfoyle Park. If anyone can recommend one in the area I would be very grateful. Not finding much on the web at the moment. Thanks so much. Lindi

Hi, it was lovely to meet everyone last week - we would love to join you again............ we are free Thursday this week. The park behind south road sound great.......... Lindi and boys
