Guest kitkat37 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hi There - new to forum but been in Oz for 8 yrs now (originally an Essex girl but don't hold it against me!!). Would love to meet up with anyone over Eastern Suburbs (I am in Ferntree Gully) - especially those with some time during the week. I am 37 yrs old, married to an Aussie and have an 8yr old at school and 4 yr old at kinder. PIO Forums been a great help for those lonely times when you really miss those UK friendships and family that are big gaps to fill once you get over here - especially when most Aussies have their own family and friends.:v_SPIN: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scousers Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hi Kitkat , There are a few of us in Eastern Suburbs, i'm in Croydon Hills, but ther are others around. Where are you from in the UK? We have been talking about getting a few of us together, will let you know once we arrange something. Joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Pom Queen Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Herbies (Trudy) on here is always organizing days out and get togethers in the SE Suburbs so it may be worth getting in touch with her. If you don't catch her on here give me a shout and I will put you in contact. Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kitkat37 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Scouser - that sounds great : I am just down road from Croydon Hills really. Originally from Colchester, Essex (actually Mersea - not Mersey! - Island) Would also be great to catch up when the Pakenham crew next meet up - just a little far to go when trying to organise kinder/school pick ups during week (it is that crazy year of having two in different locations!!) :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family and I have been here for nearly 2 years, originally from Sunny Colchester, we are based in Cranbourne East, on the Hunt Club. As Kate mentioned we all regularly meet during the school holidays for activities, depending on the weather, but us girlies like to get out and about every couple of months too, generally based around Berwick, booze and drunken antics! But being from Essex you'll be good at that. Quite a few of us get together often and socialise! Again mainly food and drink involved. Get in touch and we'll meet up, my girls are 10 now and later this year i hit the BIG ONE, so sure to be some partying going on. Speak soon Trudes x :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
