Tasha - Definitely wld be keen for a meet up.
What's it like up there, do your parents enjoy it, is there much to do???

Katie - Well when I get up there, maybe I can get an email addy or something for your friend & get in touch with another newbie....by then she might be classed as a local:-)
Did you join the Oct 2008 thread or FB group??

It seems the better option for us @ the moment is to leave the beautiful Gold Coast:crying: & move into our own home to save money. I hope Maryborough treats us well.

Looks lie I might be moving that way too soon. Just depends on things at the moment.

Oh wow looks like theres a few of us moving that way.
I put in DH's resume today for a sawmill so hopefully will here back from that but will keep putting resumes in.
We won't be moving that way until DH gets a job. :)
I can't wait to go in away, as I want to get a casual/part-time job.

hi mymmylicious!

we'll be moving to maryborough soon too, we should be there by mid-May. We're moving for my husbands work and won't really know anyone, so I'd be more than keen for a catch up!

What is your timeframe for the big move?

we have a 21 month old and I'm currently almost 36 weeks pregnant with number 2, so it'll be interesting times for us!

:flowerz:

Elsmum - :wave:Do you currently live in QLD??
When DD1 was 2wks old we jumped in our car & left all our friends n family to move to the Gold Coast...it was such an adventure.
DD1 is an active 2.5yr old & our baby DD2 is 3.5mths young..

DP is heading up on Sunday to sort out his work & start getting the house ready (need fence finished before I move up with our girls).. I'll stay on the Gold Coast till about March I reckon. then move....but lots of travelling backwards & forwards in the meantime.

nsmonkey - wow are you wanting to move to Maryborough cos your parents are there or for work opportunities??

Our home is in Maryborough West near the Showgrounds., can't wait to stop paying rent down here & get up there!!!!
Ladies, it wld be great for us all to meet up:yes:

nsmonkey

06-02-2009, 09:01

DH is currently unemployed as his boss wasn't paying him when he should of been.
So we are moing there for work purposes.
Mum and dad and in maryborough west, but at a estate called Oakhurst.

Mummyliscious- Are you buying or renting in maryborough?

I reckon its a great idea to all get together. :)

Hi All,
My family just moved to Maryborough last week and I am keen to meet others in the area. I have a 2yr old boy and a 4mth young girl. I am 27 and have just come from Brisbane north and am already missing my social life!!! Anyone interested in catching up when you get here let me know on dreamsfreediamonds@yahoo.com.au

We have land out past Oakhurst but are waiting to build.

Cant wait to meet someone!

A meet up when we all get to town would be great! I have read on the City Council website that the Toy Library has a playgroup every second Thursday so we'll definitely be heading off to that!

We should also keep this thread going as a bit of a chat so we don't forget between now and then! My head is a bit all over the shop as I'm 36 weeks pg, have a 21 month old, and we're renovating! :hair::laughing:

Hello,
I have just been on the phone this morning to the Library and Toy Library.

The Toy Library has a playgroup run by the Anglican Church every Tuesday and Thursday between 9-12.
Nursing mothers meet here every second monday 9-12 (meeting today 09/02/09) with an open playgroup set up by the Toy Library on monday afternoons from 1pm though she said not many attend at this stage.

The regular library has songs and rhymes for under 2's on the 1st and 3rd monday of the month at 10 am (next one on 16/02) and story time every wed at 9.30 10.30 and 11.30.

Am not sure yet what we will do as I am just getting settled, but need to get my son out as he is driving me mad staying at home!!!

Hope this helps some of you so you dont have to do the leg work (I know how difficult it can be getting incorrect info).

See you around.

nsmonkey

09-02-2009, 12:38

Wow they seem to have a lot on which is really good.
Now off to look for a job. :)

boy wrangler

09-02-2009, 12:47

wow Lisa, you've already done the leg work for us! I'm an ABA member, so have been meaning to contact them about their group meetings, we'll definitely be going to them every fortnight!

I hope you are doing ok after the move!

As I said before, we won't be up until the end of May!

MummyLicious

09-02-2009, 22:58

Hey everyone,
This thread is coming along quite nicely.....there's gonna be a few of us up there..YAY:yelclap:

Lisa - I'm also Lisa & my partner Nije moved up there on Sunday. Once he's settled in with work & done a clean-up around our property then i'll move up with our girls. I've sent you an email.
Don't be shy to pass on any info about the place that you learn about. I don't know much about Maryborough @ all even though we've owned our home up there for nearly 4yrs.

Now there's going to be a few of us, I don't feel as freaked out about the move anymore.

kwccac

10-02-2009, 13:42

Thanks Lisa,

As I know more I will definately let you all know.

I grew up in bundaberg, so I am a 'near local', but again dont know too much about the area.

I am currently on the hunt for any private swim schools anyone may have heard about in the area. We did a little session at the public pool a few weeks ago, but it was so busy and not what I am used to in the city regarding smaller class sizes and more individual attention.

If nothing comes up we will suffice with the public programs.

Chat soon.

boy wrangler

11-02-2009, 06:10

lisa (kwccac), i'd really appreciate any info on swimming classes, DS will be just 2, and we've just started going to lessons this term. I was thinking just at the public pool, but are they not good? Can you give me more details?

lisa (mummylicious), I'm still freaking out a bit, but less than before! :laughing: I think the main reason for my freak outs is that we'll have two kids, and one at the moment is really easy!

Chat soon,
Vic

13-02-2009, 18:51

23-02-2009, 20:19

Hi everyone,

We are back, after a long and frustrating week with my computer, I finally did a 'system restore' not that I really knew what I was doing, but anyhow. My computer is now working again and I am back online properly for the time being.

So, is anyone up to anything this week. I am home alone tomorrow being Tuesday (with the kids) so if anyone would like to catch up either in town (Ululah park behind the skate bowl is nice) or here if you like I am open to offers.

I will check my mail in the morning so let me know or call me on 0401003180. 9am is a good time for me too.

Lisa

nsmonkey

24-02-2009, 07:59

nsmonkey

It was nice to meet you Lisa, thanks for a lovely morning. I think we didn't end up leaving for another half an hour after you. The kids were admiring the turtles. LOL

boy wrangler

26-02-2009, 05:30

Hi guys!

What a shame we've been missing the catch ups! It looks at this stage like we'll be up there the week after our eldest's birthday, the 11th May.

I've only got a week or so to go until the next one arrives, so I'm trying to make sure everything is done and ready, but am feeling a lot less organised than I did with the first!

I hope everyone is well!

Slaytersmumi - We'll have to organise a meet up in Hervey Bay. Usually head those ways once or twice a week to see my partners Grandfather & fam.
Did you check out the Culture Festival? Wanted to go but had to go down the coast that wkend.

Trying to get as much done around the house. Vege garden all finished, neglicted gardens taken care of. Still lots more to do in the house & around the property but will do gradually.

Keep well ladies.

G'day at last. We are back, now in our own home and settling in. I cant believe how busy we have been the past month and am really glad it is over.

The news - we found a house at Toogoom.

Jayd, I would love to finally meet you.

Maryborough ladies, I no longer have my own car so getting out is a little hard (public transport is nothing like it is in the cities!!). I do love visitors so if you want a day at the beach, by all means contact me and come round!!

Kids are calling, Mum is busy.

Hear from you soon

Hey mummies , lookin at moving up here would like to make some new friends ,

DO you guys have a FB group ? if not i think be a top idea , Feel free to pm me so we can be friends :)

MummyLicious

25-07-2009, 14:48

Welcome Miss_Vicki

When are you looking @ moving up here?
I've grown quite fond of Maryborough. @ first I just constantly thought about stuff I didn't like & I missed my friends dearly.......now I'm enjoying myself & making new friends always helps.

No facebook group yet but sounds like a perfect idea. Will look into it.

My FB username is:uniquelywonderful so feel free to add me people.

Anyone keen for a meet up next week? My girls & I go to Hervey Bay area once a week (excl Fridays) so here, there, anywhere is fine with me:~)
