Hello lovely ladies!
I have been a bit ‘off line’ for a while now just sorting things in readiness for our move to Canberra, while working and catching up with everyone here before we go. @CarmelS, we were in Canberra last weekend and looked at houses both north and south and not knowing much about either we have managed to secure a house (we had limited options) in Garran. We did look at and apply for one in Watson but they wouldn't agree to a 6 month contract. So we went with the one in Garran. It is a new townhouse which is perfect for just the two of us. We have a 4WD and rooftop tent so will definitely be looking to use those.
@arpie we are NOT looking forward to the cold but went out and got some 'gear' a few weeks ago. We are keen campers and hikers so are looking forward to having a good look around Canberra and surrounds. I am keen to get involved in things in Canberra which was why I wanted to have a house close to the city. ( Also within Uber distance!)
@rose, Thank you. I would love the number of your BC nurse. I have a surgeon organised and an oncologist but I have only just seen mine up here, so am now not due to be seen for another 3 months. I am definitely keen for a support group-I have met with a small group in Brisbane since diagnosis and it has been amazing to have the support. I met with the lovely @CathyMac last weekend who I originally met on here-we were diagnosed at similar times so I already know two people in Canberra (her husband included). That's it so far so am keen to meet others. I am definitely keen on the Dragon boating.
@lrb_03, I would love a coffee catch up! We move next weekend-driving down over 3 days starting on Wednesday with our gear arriving 2 weeks later. I'll pm you :) We are really looking forward to the move-it's a positive move for us and I have heard nothing but good from everyone we have spoken to who lives there....
@Karenhappyquilter, I have a warm coat and one of the house criteria was good heating! It is a new house so it is well set up for both the hot and cold weather. Do you have any contact details for Bosom buddies? I am keen. @kmakm Definitely let me know when you are in Canberra next. My son lives in Melbourne so I am happy to be moving closer to them. We will be regular visitors so maybe our first catch up will be there??
Getting really excited now! Thanks for your input o:) <3
Hope to see some of you soon,
Michelle Xx
