WHERE'S BEST TO LIVE IN NZ AND WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW: PART4!!!

[AngryBeaver]

Arrgh,had to start a new thread!

Yes,you can get more land in Tauranga. Well,somewhere like Omokoroa or somewhere.Wouldn't want to live much closer than that. And I woulkdn't want to live at he Mount. Lovely as it is. Too touristy,imo.
We would like enough land for a pool (eventually) maybe a sleepout and still enough for a veggie patch and garden for kids. Don't neeed acres +. Wouldn't say no though,if we could afford it! Be nice to have a few sheep or something/

I think Mum would have to fly to Tauranga. So that would be
Manchester-London,London-Singapore, Singapore-Aukland,Aukland- Tauranga
Bad.

justa howws the back? Hope physio was a help,we may have driven past you!
Your house sounds great.
My mums friend lives in Silverdale.She has about an acre with some sheep etc
Wasn't overly impressed at but didn't give it a proper look I suppose,just stopped to buy flowers for Mums friend! Always worth another look

vvviola - am totally intrigued by the Korean promise of a 10-buck cut! I am definitely on for that in the future I think that must be a North Island phenomenon - never saw that sort of thing in Dunedin, that's for sure!!
xMinerva - pork chops?! C'mon...where's the entertainment value in that, my friend? Please arrange for tonight's menu to be FAR more worthy of my shock-'n'-horror face [hshock]
AB update on morale please - sending lots of love xxx
girls in general have you been to Tapapakanga? I was looking it up longingly on Google images tonight, having remembered its name with glee at last - it was the first night we ever spent in NZ, in a camper van, and I will never forget how utterly beautiful the beach and coastline looked from the high vantage point of the campsite I'd love to go back there one day

Not good

Have you spoken to your mw AB? Though I know there's probably not much she can do...

Yes, she said I can go in for a d&c or continue to let it happen naturally. I can't go into hospital because have no one to look after the kids, and dh can't take anytime off work. The midwife has offered help with childcare, but I couldn't leave them with strangers. Especially the youngest. He won't be left with anyone but me or dh (at a push) So I'm stuck. Just can't believe this is fucking happening again. I really thought it might turn out ok this time.

What justabout said AB. So sorry you are going through this

Yes, it's a bit of a fucker isn't it?

Sorry AB, really feel for you xx

AB, I'm so so sorry. I have no words xxx

When does your mum arrive AB? Is she here for Christmas?

yes, last day of Nov. She won't be much help though. I can tell she's annoyed that I got pregnant again. Her texts are very clipped

Are you coping with the dcs ok? Wish there was more we could do to help.

Well I'm coping, but I won't pretend it's not hard. I'm ok when lying down, but the pain and loss is quite bad when standing. So making tea was fun. The mdwf wants me to go to hospital tomorrow and sign the consent form for an op on fri.
The last time I had the op mum came every day for 10 days, from when dh left for work, put kids to bed, looked after me etc. This time, I'll have dh at home for 1 day and then I'm on my own.
justa can you remember the name of the place that does food parcels in this area? I think I will ring them, then at least I won't have to thinl about meals

think I have found it,bellyful? Scared to ring, might cry explaining

BellyFul are the mums who cook meals (spag Bol etc) and deliver them frozen to be warmed up for meals. www.bellyful.org.nz/branches.php?branchid=Hamilton. I'm sure they would be very happy to help.

Do you want someone else to phone them for you?

Oh I don't know, I would probably be ok. I feel silly asking one of you lot to ring for me. But, I keep crying, I'm an emotional wreck at the moment and it's pissing me off. No control at all. I'm a bit scared that they answer and I will just cry!! It could happen

Would you have time to do it? And would you mind? I feel uncomfortable asking for help, i don't know why.
The doctors receptionist just rang to say that theyre all thinking of me and would I like them to come round. Isn't that nice. I declined, for the reasons above, but thought it was so kind of them to offer.
Just when I was kicking myself for moving away from everyone that coul have helped me

Thanks justa x

the pm wouldn't send for some reason so have fb'ed you

AB - I am so, so sorry. Your mum sounds a bit like mine btw - Hope that you get through the difficult few days to come. Thinking of you xxx
