Guest ScooRoo Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hiya I'm newly 30 and newly moved to Perth, trying to just get temping work just now to pay the rent and looking for new friends! I love running (though I love food more so i'm not a stick thin gym bunny! ), cinema, going out for meals/coffee/walks etc. I have a wicked sense of humour and love having a laugh. Looking for anyone who fancies meeting up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cornflakegirl Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hey! I am coming to Perth at the beginning of August to work for 2 months initially but hoping to have this extended to 6 months. If your still around Perth then I'd be up for a catch up? I love running too (ran a half marathon last year but it was a bit of a struggle!!) and cinema, drinks etc etc. How did you get on with finding accom?

Guest shoreditch Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hi, All very very last minute but I am moving to Perth on 8th July to work for 9 months and know no one, hell to my shame I can barely point to the city on a map, but figured it would be an adventure. My running is pretty poor these days, although I intend to rectify that, but my coffee drinking, cinema going etc is excellent. So give me a shout if you want to help out a fellow 'newbie'.

Guest ScooRoo Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hey cornflakegirl - i am wanting to run the half-marathon here in august - but i 'm not sure if i'll be ready! I should still be here when you get here to find accommodation i put an ad on one of those 'find a flatmate' websites and ended up meeting a girl who lives not far from me at home in Scotland! However, we have signed a 12 month lease as she was sure she'd get a permanent visa - but that now looks unlikely... oops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cornflakegirl Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Thanks I'll give that a try when I arrive! Where in Scotland are you from if you don't mind me asking, I'm from just outside Stirling! You should defo give the half marathon a go! If your still around when I arrive we can go out for a wee run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ScooRoo Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I moved over from Aberdeen, i have a few friends from Stirling I'm not from Aberdeen though, I grew up near Elgin, only moved to Scotland when i was 14. Could definitely go for a run - i havent gone for a run anywhere other than the gym as i dont want to go on my own! I'd probably get lost or something! haha So are you working in Scotland?

Guest Villa Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi all, New guy to Perth. Came over last week and left all friends and family back home :sad: I'm 30 and looking to make new friends. Don't start work until October 3rd but they seem like a good bunch of people and I'm sure I'll make friends through the job but it doesn't hurt to expand the network. I intend to play football (soccer) in the New Year which will help but more than willing to meet people off here. It appears (forgive me if I'm wrong) that the site is more family focussed but if anyone is in the same position and fancies meeting up for a coffee or beer or if there's anything going on, let me know. Feel free to ask any questions (so you know that I'm not a weirdo!) Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest V Harvey Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm moving over to Perth in about 2 weeks from the UK - very exciting!! Would be great to meet up and meet new people, V x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Villa Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hi V, I've settled in well thanks. It's rained a lot since I've been here but I don't think I'll be complaining about the weather soon! Don't start work for another week so just exploring the city and figuring out where I want to live. Been really lucky as I've met with a few people on here and also from another site called http://www.perthpoms.com/ (hope that's o.k for me to post here). Everyone's been really welcoming. Are you coming over for work or just passing through whilst travelling? I'm always up for meeting when you arrive and can let you know if I hear of anything happening.

Guest V Harvey Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hi Steve, Yeah I have been keeping an eye on the weather and willing it to improve soon But like you said, I know it will soon enough! (Or I want my money back!) Yeah I plan to find work and stay there for a while then hopefully see some other places later on. Thanks yeah I have been on that site too, hopefully I can take part in the meet ups soon! That would be great - about a week until I arrive now! Verity.
