[mogwai]

hi Tribe

We're arriving on 20th January. Still feels a bit surreal really, especially as we have Christmas between now and then.

At the moment we are hauling ourselves up and down the country every weekend trying to visit old friends before we go and before Christmas.
Only coming for one year though!

How's things with your tribe??

[tribeoffive]

Thank goodness there is someone out there!

Well Mogwai got 3 weeks to go before Im out of her. Im just tidying up all the loose ends then we will be set. Dh is in OZ now trying to get on with new job plus look for a house he hopefully has some viewings this weekend so fingers crossed
What area are you moving to? and why just a year is it an exchange? cant remember if you said on the other thread.

[mogwai]

we are coming for a year as my husband has a fixed term contract. We will initially be living in Randwick (near coogee) but longer term may be in Randwick or lower north shore - depends on how the commuting looks when we get there.

I considered sending my husband ahead of me like you did. It makes perfect sense but didn;t fancy the flight with our daughter (currently 15 months) alone!

[tribeoffive]

Had no choice really about Dh going on ahead work was wanting him to start immediatley Im not looking forward to the flight I will be flying with 4 of the tribe ahh!!! Ive booked a seat for the youngest dd she is also 15mths just means Ive got to lug her car seat with us.
Who you flying with? we've booked with BA/QUANTAS
Def need to meet up when you get there

[mogwai]

I didn't realise your little one was the same age as mine (born July 05). What a stroke of luck! They can amuse one-another while we sip on a glass of something!

We are also flying BA/Quantas (via a stopover for two nights in Hong Kong).

I was reading your post on the other thread about the houses your husband goes to look at going quite quickly. It's all a bit of a rush isn't it? I just hope we can choose a nice-ish area. You are going to be at the northern beaches aren't you? (or is that someone else?). I've been trawling Domain.com for ages now trying to get a feel for the prices and the areas.

One of my work colleagues leaves for sydney on saturday. We all went out for lunch yesterday and it suddenly all felt very real!

Why don't you CAT me and we can swap e-mail addresses so we can keep in touch and meet up?

[tribeoffive]

Yeah dd orn 20 July she is my little french girl
yeah will CAT you and it would be good to meet up
We are looking south Sutherland Shire my life at the moment revolves round domain.com.au / realestate .com.au and justlisted.com.au god thats sad I know the sites off by heart ahh!

[tribeoffive]

Mogwai will CAT you when I get there need to sort out new e-mail address

[cori]

Just pooping on to say hi. DH and I are both Aussies, but we live in London, after recent visit to australia we are thinking about coming back to live. We will be heading for Sydney as that is where DH is from.
I have also been spending a lot of time on domain. Am shocked at the price of houses in Sydney.

[cori]

sorry, popping on [embarrassed]

[tribeoffive]

Hi Cori!
well look forward to seeing you there ,another one joins the gang!

[sunnydelight]

Shouldn't that be "so where the bloody hell are you?" tribeoffive? It might be childish but it still cracks me up every time I see that ad on tv - only the Australian tourist board would get away with it. (Have just realised you're not in the UK so you probably haven't a bloody clue what I mean!!!!!).
