I won't go into too much detail as yet cos i've not decided which one to take. a weekend by the beach or up a mountian will help me decide.

[Rimbo]

Thank you everyone for your wishes. :nice1
Too many to reply to individually.
Most of you out there have helped, everyone has contributed in their own way, and now i hope someone else can see that it can be done, I will endeavour to assist in that process.

Welly, Chch and New Plymouth are the locations. Each Job are quite different, with different responsibilities and very different offers indeed. Some very attractive and lucrative offers, but i am not loosing sight of our reasons for this journey.
Lifestyle!
Family!
Choices!
Mortgage free
Fundamentals of our standard of living.

A good package from a blue chip employer could still swing it though!

I aim to pop back to pick up some clothes, have a party and get my Squash racket and golf clubs.
Kiss the family again and get back within a few weeks to start my employment while Susan does the hard work of selling up.
I am due back in the UK on the 23rd March.
I’ll see what happens first as to when I can really come back to Wigan and then travel back here….home
;)
This morning I went for a run. I ran down the award winning beach front walkway, or promenade. It was fantastic, the clear blue Tasman Sea crashing on the rocks below. The sugar loafs in the distance and the sun beating down on my neck. I rested near the Wind Wand and then walked bare footed through the shopping area as the shops were just opening for business. A big bloke asked if I had been for a workout and we chatted for a while. I told him that I might live here and he was overjoyed that I may pick his town, “God loves ya, God loves ya mate” is how he answered!
I aint religious, but this strangers sentiments went a long way.

Kim,
It’s not all been work work work you know!
Seen some big trucks here too, Macks, Whites, 36 wheelers, bet tou can't wait!

And another thing, us Pie eaters feel at home here. They love Pies, pasties and sausage rolls all over New Zealand.

Anybody got any direct q’s, don’t hesitate to PM me, I’ll answer ASAP.

Thanks again, I will come to a decision soon and I’ll let you know in due course.

John.

Went to Palmy North on Tuesday, had permit approved and nice lengthy chat with excellent case officer.
