childfree people on the forum?

[Guest Em76]

Wish I could be there. Myself and OH are childfree and intend to stay that way

We're not emigrating until Jan 09 tho, so if you could make this a regular thing we will see you next year!

More than happy to meet up with you in January. Just drop a line when you get here!

Was extraordinarily relieved to see this thread, having watched approximately one million hours of Wanted Down Under and realising 96% of those featured had little brats, er, I mean, adorable possums, dripping off em.

 

Will be in the magical city of Adelaide from 9 April so if you lovely folks have a meetup sometime between then and 20 April, count us in.

 

Can't wait!

[suzer]

I'm also very very relieved to know there are so many childfree people in Adelaide. I thought you might be few and far in between! Will aim for early-mid April for this gathering:)

[Guest Em76]

We are also in Adelaide validating our visas until the 6th April, won't hold our breath, but just in case the meet is this early in the month!

[suzer]

When I know what date we will get back to Adelaide I'll throw out 2 or 3 dates over two weekends, so hopefully we can accomodate (almost) everyone.

 

In the meantime please vote here for time of day:

So glad to see so many of you are voting on the other thread. Still waiting on my visa but hoping to be back in another week or so...send me good vibes!

I'm not a newbie but we are childfree as well. We live in Seaford though so going out socialising in the City is out for us as one of us can't have a drink.

 

I work full-time in the City though so if anyone else works in the City, we could meet for lunch or after work for dinner.

[suzer]

Hiya Moosh,

 

I'm happy to meet up for lunch or dinner one day when we are back. Even if the overall vote is for a weekend for the 1st meet up, we can always have the next meet up on a weeknight, as it seems there are enough people interested in that option to make it worthwhile.

Just curious how many of you moving to adelaide are 'sans kiddies'? The hubs and I are childfree and don't plan to have any. Always nice to meet a few others like that.

Cheers

Hi there - we are also child free, far too young for that ;-) what I would like to ask is that coming from London and being in our later twenty's will Adelaide be enough for us? I've heard mixed things about its more like a large town than a City, we couldn't get a PR visa but can get state sponsorship with Adelaide so its our way in if you like....any views would be welcome!!

I think that's an entirely new thread Emma;) It all depends on what you are looking for. No, in my opinion, Adelaide is not a city and is more like a large town, and I wouldn't have wanted to live there in my early-mid 20s. Heck, I'm settling for it now, to be honest, but it's where my husband is from, so I'll trade off...at least it has a low cost of living and you can use your xtra funds, if you manage well, to do a lot of travelling. My husband likes to go clubbing, and we lived in London for a while. He got into DJing too while there and he's not bored with Adelaide even after that, so it takes all kinds:)

 

As far as those of you not arriving until later in the year, as far as I'm concerned, we can have a gathering a month and things in between if there are enough of us. I'm keen to meet as many childfree peeps as there are out there, so I'm happy to organise things!

[Guest Martin and Val]

Hi Suzer,

Sorry we won't be over till later in the year, but it is a good idea, we did the same in Feb this year when we were there. We had a great time, if I remember correctly there were 16 of us sat chatting and drinking. Unfortunately the time clock beat me around midnight and had to hit the sack at that point.

Everybody had a good night so I'm sure you will have a great time on your meet up too.

Good luck with it.

I come from Luton originally. I would put Adelaide on a similar size scale to that. Adelaide is small for a City and it is surprising the village mentality of people.

 

I also used to DJ in Luton and on radio so we have a bit in common. Although my music taste is varied from Dance to Salsa. Whereas my hubby hates nightclubs and hasn't moved on from Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. lol.

Hi Suzer

 

Just read your other thread about meet ups and yes we will be up for that when we finally get to Adelaide. Still waiting for Visas, but hope to be out there around July time. Will look forward to meeting up with everyone, so will certainly keep in touch.

 

Babz & Kevin

[suzer]

Good luck with the waiting. It's the worst part! Look forward to meeting when you get here.

[Guest fluff]

Hi All

 

And there is me thinking that I was the only child free person?!!! I would love to meet up.

 

Please count me in x

[suzer]

Great look forward to meeting you there. Looks like we should have a decent turnout.

[suzer]

We are allso 'childelss' ours have all grown up and left home (thank God), we can start to live again now! We are coming for a validation visit at the end of May and final move at the beginning of October, can't wait now.

 

We would love to meet up with others without children (not that we have anything against them). Please keep us posted.
