hellooooo .... helloo ...... hellooo.....

:party:

If you're desperate, we have one on the other side. :D

Look at her stats :) i don't think desperation applies to wishes :)

nono - im desperate :P

nono - im desperate :P

K. Be right there!

i can wait 8 months! :D

Hi Wishes

Im a kiwi living in australia now for 20 years.

I watched your clip, it was awesome! You must be so proud

lol, wicked :D

Lots of kiwis are moving to aussie these days.

yep its a much, much better place to live.

i have a friend in whangaparoa who i am trying to convince to move....not having much success with that!

lol, yeah there has been a big fuss recently about how many people are going overseas, particularly to aussie.

Personally i like nz, not so many poisonous snakes and spiders :P

Personally the only snakes and spiders Ive had trouble with, are those on two legs.:toetap05:

yeah there are those :D

I'm from Tauranga, New Zealand, although currently attending University of Waikato in Hamilton.

I'm finishing up with university (done at the start of October) and facing the tough choice of applying for jobs here or in Australia. Here I've got friends and family but Australia pays graduates $10,000 more, less tax, and a high exchange rate would all help with that student loan.

Those are some awesome websites you've made Liz, I read your free weight loss one cover to cover, and it’s awesome, and again just for emphasis, awesome!

lol cheers

yeah lots of good old brain drain going to au nowdays. does seem the better option sometimes eh. NZ has its charm though as well i suppose, you can always go over and give it a go and if it doesnt work out come back :)

A kiwi here.

Living in Aucksville. Am finally starting to like it..somewhat. Nothing beats Wellington.

wooo! yaaay! im not aloooone! :D

hey ooo , im in auckland also. I was born and raised in wellington though so i hear ya.
But from a cyclists point of view, auckland is better to cycle in unless you do offroad :D

YAY I'm in Auckland as well!
I adore Wellington though, even the storms (although only at night). I like Wellington's relaxed, fun, arty vibe...but I'm still a sucker for the variation and diversity that Auckland offers.
If you're talking cycling Chch has to be the best place, although in my opinion it's the only thing it's the best place for!

ooo we should have an Auckland WLF meeting lol. Ill make sure i bring tons of chippies junk food and cookie *G*

Nah j/k

But seriously, im gonna be in a local mag in the next couple weeks. keep an eye out for "Thats Life" magazine.

Hey Wishes!
I cycle too - not hard out, just to get around and because I don't like to reward Stagecoach for bad service.

Ha yeah biking in Wellington was hell! Serious planning to avoid those steep hills while still trying to get a few good down hills and managing to get back home again. The terrace elevators were a sneaky trick..

Will look out for the mag!

ooo in my hometown AND rides a bike! :)

You're going to be in a magazine soon? That's awesome, let me know which issue it is, I'll be sure to check it out!

indeed! I have to send them photos :O

Wow, that's awesome, good for you! What's the article on?

its on me! and how much weight i lost! and that im donating a kidney to my brother!

Wow, that's incredible. Go you, Wishes!

Aren't all kiwis New Zealanders? :)

I'm a JAFA, hello you lot.

horah for another JAFA :)

and no i think i know a few new zealanders who came from other shores, is that a kiwi?

I don't know; I guess you're a kiwi if you want to be.

yah probably. Kiwis are a friendly sort :)

Living in Hamilton (ew) but still a Welly girl at heart. ZOMG you're all Jafas!!

Oooo hammy!
Im not a jafa anymore - i moved to cambridge a couple months back - so im more south than you are :D

Heya Liz, I am a kiwi, but live south of Auckland in the Franklin/waikato border !!!

Did I miss the magazine article??

yep you did.
i have a copy online somewhere though ThatsLife - Images (http://wishes.debian.co.nz/images/?dir=ThatsLife/)

Im in the local paper this week too :D

Awesome Liz!!! A double page spread too!

Seriously though, that is such a selfless and noble thing to do. I can't confidently say I would do the same in similar circumstances. You truely deserve all the good things you have achieved!

yeah it would be nice if it happened. Hospital called it off 3 weeks out from the op, undergoing DNA testing but it appears to not be able too donate even with that.

Hey all,

Forgot I had this forum plugged in and just noticed your thread.

After years of of pounding the pavements, I actually joined a gym a couple of weeks back. Finding it very interesting so far.

All sorts, all ages, it's great.

Dang, looks like I might be the only JAFA round these parts anymore :D

That was a fantastic article by the way, Liz. Sorry to hear the transplant hasn't been able to go ahead :(
