Has anyone else had this happen?? You have a bad thing happen but something really good comes out of it. I've had 2. My first: I was was 20 and I had a MC and as a result my work that day slipped and I got fired. Yes at first I was pi$$ed but I got the best case manager at WINZ and she got me on to my early childhood certificate and from that I went flatting and in that flat I met DH and hello the rest of my life. Second: Just happened, had the issue with daycare, just spoke to DH and we are probably going to live up with him in Waiouru and that means he'll stay in the army. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

We'll be moving up in July once we come back from our holiday with mum and dad. All the good came in a total of 5 hours. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| I got preggers with taine and we moved back. about a year later our company in japan went bust BIG time! People were kicked out of their flats (cause nova collected but didn't pay rent), middle of winter electricity was cut (same reason), months of pay wasn't. Everytime I think baout it I smile at taine, my gorgeous unwanted (at the time) child |

Re: Living in Waiouru, my DH's grandfather was in the army and they followed him wherever he was stationed -- apparently it was a lovely place to bring up a family, with lots of other army families to keep the military wives in good company. That's got to be a good thing! |

That's exciting Becks. My boss lived in Waiouru with her DH and their DDs when they first came to NZ several years ago. She said it is a brilliant place to raise kids.
I sincerely believe that everything thing that's ever happened to me, good or bad, has made me the person I am today so I wouldn't change a thing - except maybe my lotto numbers for last week, would have loved to win that one (maybe this week). ------------- http://lilypie.com">   http://lilypie.com">

Good Luck Becks, you'll have a great time living in Waiouru Camp they have a great support network there for partners.
Make sure you stock up on your thermals before you go. Sounds like things are all working out for you. Nice when that happens. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Wow, that's awesome that you guys have figured it all out!
I lived in Ohakune for 2 years... for the winter you'll all need hats, gloves, scarves, warm windproof jackets, warm socks, and waterproof boots/shoes in addition to the thermals. Then, when it snows, add waterproof trousers to that if you plan to go and play outside  There is very little inbetween the mountains and Waiouru, so when the wind is coming from that direction it is quite cold.
Since you are planning on moving in July (which is the time of year we initially moved to Ohakune) find out what sort of heating your new place will have... and if its got a wood-burning fire, you'll probably want to organise some firewood not long after getting there! The local papers have listings in the classifieds of people who sell firewood, and they often deliver. Alternatively, if you are on base, your neighbours should know who will give you a good deal. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

I'm fine with my degree I will change all my papers next semester to extramural so it'll be a little bit more difficult but managable. The army will give us an army house to live in. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
