Hi there, my wife, 2 yr old daughter and i have recently arrived in Brisbane from the UK and are keen to meet up with other families with a view to making new friends and sharing ideas etc. We lived nr Brighton in the UK and now are in Thorneside on Brisbane's south east and would love to catch up with anyone in a similar situation in the area around Redlands to find out about playgroups etc. Would appreciate any feedback cheers !

 

Hi Del,

My Husband used to live in brighton & myself in Birmingham. We met here 3 years ago. i have been here 5 years almost. We have a 12 month old daughter. We are currently living in Cleveland so not too far from you guys. Let me know if ur keen for a catch up sometime

 

Hi KaylaJay,

Thanks for getting back to me, Cleveland is no problem and would be great. My wife, daughter and i could catch up with you anytime except Tuesday/Thursday. Perhaps we could meet at a park somewhere in between if you have a car ? Why don't you drop me an email at d4j2005@hotmail.com and let us know when youre free and we can take it from there, it would be good to catch up with some fellow "poms".

 

Hi Del. We've just arrived from Perth, WA to Lota and are feeling like norma no friends!!! SO if your wife would like to catch up for a cuppa end next week, feel free to PM me. I have a 9yr old daughter and OH starts his new job this Monday. Cheers. Bev

 

Hi Del
We also arrived in August, we are currently living in Upper Mt Gravatt but are looking to move to Thorneside. Our sons are 3 and 10 months old. How have you found it so far? I love Wellington Point but know very little about Thorneside! Hastn the weather been terrible since we've arrived....sods law still at least our houses are standing ......
cheers Louise

 

Hey Louise ...

I can't speak for Thorneside as we are in Manly ... but there is a Facebook group with a few members who live down that way. They all post regularly on pomsinoz and arrange local meet-ups .... many people join the FB group and then ask the members for their views on the area. Also, perhaps think about attending one of their monthly meets ... the group consists of people from suburbs across Brisbane. Might be helpful for you?

Welcome to Facebook

 

thanks will take your advice - we have had our offer accepted on the house now so fingers crossed!

 

Hello. I Live in Manly. Is anyone interested in a coffee meet up down on the waterfront. It's always good to meet people from back home and make new friends. There's a good play area for the kids. We've a 11 month old boy.

 

hi, definately interested in meeting up - Manly will only be 10 mins away from us. Moving around the 10 Feb so will get in contact once move gone through...

 

Good luck with the move. Get in touch once you've settled in. X

 

Hi Louise,

We've also got a 3 year old boy and a 5 nearly 6 year boy, we're in Wellington point. If you fancy a meet up once the schools are back next week pm me

Hi Louise and Del
We live in Manly with a 5.5 yo daughter and 3.5 yo son. Currently have parents here for two more weeks but would love to meet up mid feb we could arrange a picnic at the beach
Pm me
Helen

 

Hi everyone
Our move to Thorneside has fallen through. We got the building inspection done and there was just too much costly work to be done. My parents arrive mid Feb for a month and after they have gone we will start looking again in the area. Will be in touch then for a coffee/meet up/ picnic!

That is such a shame Louise ...... will cross my fingers that you find something suitable when you start looking again! :wink:

 

Oh dear, that's such a shame. I think it's really hard to set your heart on a house and then have it all fall through. I hope you find somewhere else to live in the area once yu have enjoyed some time with your parents.

Love

Rudi
