  4. At least you will arrive to great weather............
  5. We have also found things slightly dearer....... but have been careful to buy only what we need..... whereas in the UK we would stock up and impulse buy and end up chucking loads away! Just a thought.......

  10. Let me be the first to congratulate Manchester United for cementing their status as 2011 Champions League runners up
  11. Pretty sure you could make a very profitable business out of this love of spiders! Spider Phobia classes........ am sure many would sign up! Have to say though... we hardly see any spiders where we live.... or maybe I'm just not looking in the right places!!! eek
  12. get the mortein out............. aaaaaaaaaargh!
  13. Hi I am looking to buy a kreepy krawly,,,has anyone got one for sale or can anyone recomend where to get one from!
  14. We have been here for nearly two years and live at Banksia Park............ our three teenagers go to Banksia High School and they love it. We have found it to be a great High School...... and the staff are very approachable. Highly recommended.........go for a visit and a look around - we got that first all important good vibe when we had our first, second and third tour........ well you just have to be 100% sure don't ya! Also we have friends who have children at St Agnes Primary... they say it's good...but from the kids we see passing our house... and the outlook of the school we would say Banksia Primary looks pretty good aswell!!! Best of luck guys...........
  15. We shipped almost all our furniture.... nothing like having all your own familiar stuff around to help make your Aussie house your HOME......
  16. (likesshopping quote: I lifted up my pillow and there was one underneath!!!! te he...you should have heard me scream!!) OMG............. I would have MOVED there and then!! that is horrendous.......... am off to buy ten cats! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
  17. We have to be honest........... moving to another country and leaving everything you know is a biggy!!! It's a life adventure........ and truly amazing....... but it also leaves you feeling lost at times and you do miss family and friends!!! On a positive note..... we brought over three teenagers.... 13, 13 and 14 and also a 21 year old! Our kids have settled into High School...... and have made great friends - they love it here! We are completely shocked that the move for them especially has been so easy........ in fact in our first 6 months it was them who kept us positive! But we so worried about our eldest.... coping with such a change.... but she has got work......... made friends and loves life in Adelaide! Sometimes there have been tears, sometimes frustration, sometimes anger.... but there has been lost of laughter, adventure and we have enjoyed the challenges! For us...... we say it's an adventure..... we went into this with the idea that 'nothing ventured.. nothing gained'....... and we could go back to the UK if it doesnt work out - but for now we are doing good and have no regrets! Hope this makes you feel better and brighter.......... and best of luck to you all!!!
  18. got to agree........ Bunnings is the best price!!!
  19. We are from the North of England.... and now in the North East of Adelaide... have family in South Adelaide... a UK northerner - and even they join in with the North/South divide banter... However, we are in this area primarily to suit work commitments........ and then we found a fab High School..and then a great local pub.... and then the roots began to grow! We love it here....... but also love to travel to other areas of Adelaide.... there are different things going for different areas... up North suits us ..... we have older children and they love the convenience of the public transport links... sommat up North definately has in it's favour.... What suits one family may not suit another....... the beauty with moving over here with a young family is if you don't get the right area for you straight off then you can move to another part of Adelaide.... youngsters adapt a little easier.. teenagers not so much....... Hope this helps Good Luck
  20. We have some boxes. Pm us if you want them and we will give you our address!!!!! We are in Tea Tree Gully area.....
  21. Heard there is a job going at a pommie Pub - Tea Tree Gully area! Mostly weekends... pm for further details ....
  22. I felt the same way for a while then when I sat down and thought about it,I decided the geography didnt matter,I could be anywhere in the world and its what I make of it be it Adelaide,Manchester or Dublin ,that realy counts!

    New to Adelaide

    we moved over here 18 months ago with teenagers....... settled in the Modbury area and the kids have freedom via good transport links and they can all travel into the city with ease! We love lots of places in Adelaide but the North East is great for everything ........ and if you desire a beach day then its a 25 minute drive away!
  24. I have sent gifts for birthdays, christenings from ......... www.pebbletree.co.uk something just a little bit different. and personalised....
