Hello all

Jennifer, I'm afraid I am unable to answer any of your q's as 1. Our furniture has not arrived yet, so I do not know if it was worth it or not. 2. My children are not old enough for F/T school and I have not yet got around to sorting kindys etc, (its on todays list). Sorry

Peter, best of luck with your move, am I right in thinking Pompellier College is out Maunu way? We have looked at a few houses in that area and I blieve the primary school there is very good.

Eric starts work today, I am sure he will be OK however he was a little nervous. His employers seem very nice, we have already been to there house for tea which was very kind of them and they have already invited him on a training course to Australia!! Means I will be left alone with the children for 5 days, but it is best he goes.

Things are going well although I just spent nearly $200 at Woolworths and I am not sure if this is good or bad?! I am still trying to get my head around what it cheap and what is expensive! Sure I'll get there eventually.

We spent the weekend looking at various areas to live. Eric will be travelling north to work so we do not particularly want to go too far south of the city, but we do not necessarily want to live in suburbia. There are lots of plots, sorry sections here, but how long does it take to build your own home? Are buildres reliable here?

Will keep looking

Amanda
