<p>Hi Lynda,</p>

<p>Welcome to Cleveland hun, I am from west Yorkshire originally!!! We have to meet up as our kids are around the same age. Ciara is 12 and went to high school (Kimberley college) in Jan and Ruairi (Rory) is 8 and in Cleveland state altho we are currently looking to move him. Long story and dont want to put you off...he just hasnt settled there. He was quite advanced and was put a year ahead straight away. He is still ahead and they now want to move him up another year so he would be with 10 year olds ( not great) but he is doing his work in 10 mins and then disrupting the class and getting into trouble... Hence the other kids see him as the naughty kid and has found it hard making friends. What year is your son going into? We will have to get the kids together too. Ciara started at Cleveland and settled really quickly, but was only there for one term, but we are friends with a girl in year 7 so may be able to introduce her before she starts (what year is she going into?)</p>

<p>Hi Melanie. we have just moved to Cleveland from NZ. We were in NZ for 2 yrs prior to moving here. We are from Doncaster, S Yorkshire. I have an 8yr old boy and an 11 yr old girl. They are starting Cleveland state school next Tuesday although they are not very keen on the idea! we have had 5 weeks in the Gold Coast in a motel whilst looking for a house to rent. Any tips on the area would be greatly appreciated. My hubby works in the mines in Emerald so is away for 7 days at a time which leaves me & the kids to explore the area although it is always good to get good advice from someone who has been here a while. How long did it take your children to settle in school if you don't mind me asking as that is my biggest concern at the moment. My daughter is really worried about starting over in a place where she knows no-one! Sorry to ramble, but as you are local, I thought you may be a good one to ask. Take care. Lynda x</p>

<p>Hi Melanie, just wondered how you were settling in? Is it what you expected? Hows the weight going have you reached your goal now you are there? I am still plugging on trying to stay away from the chocolate....he he. Given up on all the diets as all i seem to do is eat, sleep and dream about food! Lol! its so hard, have joined the gym instead we will probably be another year till we get to Oz still waiting on the SMP's so hope to have cracked the weight by then. Take care and love to hear how its all going Michelle xx</p>

<p>Thanks for your kindness Melanie.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>My granddaughter is 5 weeks old now and absolutely gorgeous. Natalie (her mum) is having problems with the boyfriend, hence my decision to not think of Oz at the moment. Will see what happens over the next few months. I would love her and the baby to come with us, albeit she would have to go on a student visa, but we shall see what happens.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Good luck and speak soon xxxxx</p>

<p>Awwwwwww...when did your new grandaughter arrive???</p>

<p>We were looking at the Bayside area, but may go aliitle inland to get more for our money, not sure.......we will be staying with terrys uncle in Macgregor for a while so will have plenty of time to explore.</p>

<p>Good luck with whatever you decide to do and if you decide to come over evn for a holiday, look us up, you are welcome to stay with us!! (when we finally decide where we will live!!!)</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Melanie x</p>

<p>Not much happening at our end, taken house off the market and just waiting to see if and when we are going. My new grandaughter has taken up most of my time now and Oz is not top of my agenda at the moment, will keep you informed.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hope all goes well and you love Brissie, any idea where you looking to live yet xx</p>
