Guest Beastiemum Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hi Guys - really glad I found this thread. me, hubby and our mini beasties (girls at 2 & 4) arrived last week from the UK! Staying in temp accommodation for the next 3 weeks but running around at the moment before I start work on the 9th feb desperately trying to find a rental house, sort a car out, childcare and school!!! Getting there slowly though. Sounds like you all have lots going on too especially with wee ones on the way I'd also really like to meet up with other UK folks - if nothing else just to be able to spend a bit of quality girlie time?? Have discovered Westfield Kotara Mall today which I was pretty impressed with - certainly matches Meadowhall or Trafford Centre anyway - just need to start work and get paid really so I can really enjoy it Anyway - any meet up's would be great so either PM or we could sort out on here? We're looking at Merewether hopefully for rental - or Kotara, Warners Bay possibly so any advice would be gratefully received too. About me - I'm 38 - with the 2 mini ones as above - who although a handful ( especially on the flights over!!) are fabby really Look forward to meeting up and saying hello properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alimadge Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi, I am moving to Newcastle in the summer, my husband and 18 year old are already there and I will join them when my 16 year old son finishes school. My husband is living out in the sticks at the moment where his factory is, so I would really love some advice on the nicest areas to settle in Newcastle and the best schools for my son. Any one got any views on Cameron Park the Northlakes estate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Beastiemum Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hey Emma Meet up Mar/Apr sounds a great idea - we should finally be settled by then ( I hope) !! If we keep it via this thread then at least I won't lose the way to contact folks! It sounds like you're in a great spot - we ended up going for something more central as my OH may be away a few nights a week and so didn't want to be out of it all too much - and also my commute to Broadmeadow is only 10 mins or so. And yep - already loving Westfield Kotara Meet up could be there??????? or maybe an evening in a wine bar possibly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Leanne. I feel like I have a mountain to climb before I get there, what with organising the shipping, the dog and my son who does not want to move , and as my husband is already there I have to sort it out on my own. Planning on being there July/August time, so hopefully can meet up with you all then. Thanks Alison.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KAS Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 :v_SPIN:Hi everybody, I hope you don't mind me joining the group? We live in Eleebana and have been here just over 12 months we have met lots of lovely people but would like to meet more so a meet up would be great,count us in, we have 2 boys 5 and 11 who are loving it here, I'm not so sure one day I do and then the next day I don't but I suppose it's back to that old saying give it time. Any way, should we all meet sooner rather that lateras this thread may get lost and forgotten about? It's only a suggestion what does everybody think?

Guest Beastiemum Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 That's now 7 of us to meet up and drink copious quantities of wine Seems like we've all either gone for north Lake Macquarie shores or Junction/Bar Beach/Merewether areas - must be something in that?? We move into our new house on 19th so I must admit until things aren't exactly ideal (and especially until I get my first pay cheque at the end Feb!!) but we could possibly say first Fri in March? That way it could be a regular thing if folks fancy it and can make it without being a set date?? First Friday each month???? Just a suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KAS Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 :yes:Hi Folks, So have we agreed the first Friday in March and is this with children or without? We need to decide where and when,has anybody got any suggestions? Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggles Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 hiya everyone, i guess it depends on if ya want to swim or just a catch up? the lake has some good safe places to swim( hint,no waves)for the kids or just a picnic/bbq where there is no swimming? black butt reserve is great, which is near lampton ( no swimming but bbq's) belmont park, near 16 ft sailling club( little swimmin area that is safe)bbq there as well! Valentine park , on the lake side, can swim a little but bbq's as well! just a couple of nice idea areas for us to enjoy a good english catch up, LOL! hope to have helped??? leanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thumbwitch Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I do at least know where Blackbutt reserve is - love it there too - good if kids are involved. Don't know the other places but there's always maps and things! Spiers Point play park is quite good for kids too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KAS Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 :idea:Hi fellow poms, Belmont Park sounds good to me as there is swimming if it's hot, and BBQ'S,but then again we could do Warners Bay on Friday night? good for kids,adults can enjoy a drink and there's a live band!! you bring your chairs and nibbles and kids bring there scooters etc,it's only a suggestion what does everybody think? Thanks Leanne for all your ideas either one would be ok to... Love Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
