;) thanks

Newmum currently it takes me an hour and 30 minutes to get to work (its 34 kilometres) and my husband leaves at 5:30 then it takes him 40 minutes to work else it takes him 2 hours if he leaves later; so 10 minutes will be heaven !!!!

I am sure we are going to miss family and friends but I think the benefits will far outway the negative !!!!]]> Fri, 21 Oct 2005 21:37:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1060&PID=18029&title=hi-new-mom-here#18029 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1060&PID=17998&title=hi-new-mom-here#17998 Author: Roksana

I have 2 South Afican ladies here at work and I just asked both of them if they regret coming to NZ. One moved here 8 years ago and she said she misses her friends and family but does not regret moving here, the other moved here two years ago and she said the same thing.......]]> Fri, 21 Oct 2005 13:11:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1060&PID=17998&title=hi-new-mom-here#17998 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1060&PID=17944&title=hi-new-mom-here#17944 Author: daikini

No Chewie, as far as I know, none of the family regret moving. My FIL is the oldest of 9, one died aged 5 but the rest and his parents all moved around the same time. My FIL met my MIL here, so I'm pretty sure he's glad he came! (I know I am, if he hadn't I wouldn't have been able to marry his son!)]]> Fri, 21 Oct 2005 09:53:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1060&PID=17944&title=hi-new-mom-here#17944 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1060&PID=17926&title=hi-new-mom-here#17926 Author: newmum

We live in Johnsonville. It is a nice suburb north of the city with a mall and nice schools etc. but still only about 10 minutes drive in to the city.
My hubby takes the train in to work every day as there is a good connection in to the CBD.

Hi Chewie,

Welcome to Oh Baby! I hope you enjoy talking to all of us over here in New Zealand.

My father-in-law is South African, he and his family came to NZ 40 years ago.]]> Thu, 20 Oct 2005 10:12:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1060&PID=17843&title=hi-new-mom-here#17843 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1060&PID=17841&title=hi-new-mom-here#17841 Author: newmum

Hi Chewie!
My name is Ana and my hubby and I went through the whole permanent residency thing last year as he is German/Polish. I hope it goes through!! We have been living here in NZ since January and in Wellington since April. This site saved me as I didn't know anyone here when we moved and I was pregnant with our first child, Josef, who was born on the 18th of August this year.
Fingers crossed!! ]]> Thu, 20 Oct 2005 09:57:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1060&PID=17841&title=hi-new-mom-here#17841 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1060&PID=17836&title=hi-new-mom-here#17836 Author: Roksana

Hi there and welcome to Ohbaby....hope to welcome you to NZ soon too.
My parents and I lived in Zimbabwe for 5 years (between 1990 - 1995)....loved Africa as we traveled to Zambia and South Africa....I am sure you will get residency as IT is a popular career choice and is in demand here in NZ.

Here is hoping! Where in South Africa are you?]]> Thu, 20 Oct 2005 09:16:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1060&PID=17836&title=hi-new-mom-here#17836 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1060&PID=17822&title=hi-new-mom-here#17822 Author: Chewie
