[Deb&Andy]

Hi. I've finally got around to saying hello. I've been reading the loads of great advice on the forum for a few weeks now and thought it was time to do the intros. Plus I have lots of questions which I'm sure you guys can help with.:cheers

We are currently in Nottingham, UK, but hoping to arrive in NZ early May. We holidayed last October to help make the final decision. Did as much as we could - Hannah (13) swam with dolphins in Bay of Islands, Lorna (11) went horse riding on the beach at Maketu, we did the heli trip at Franz Josef etc etc. Great time.

Deb (the better half, by far) has got a job (Speech & Language Therapist) in Tauranga and we're going through the residency application. I'm hoping to get a job when we get there (have orders to get us settled first - guess that means housework while Deb's at work and the girls are at school).

Anyway, look out for pleas for help and again, hi folks and thanks for the advice I've already gained.

Hi Deb, Andy, Hannah and Laura

A big Hi and welcome to the forum. We're currently waiting for NZIS to assign us a Case Officer but are hopeful we'll have one in the next month. Fingers crossed. Hope to be in NZ by mid/end May.

Hi Both! What do you like about Tauranga as an area to settle with children? We have a 14 year old daughter and thinking of moving here ourselves.
