Moving states =|

Daintreedream started a thread earlier today about this very subject and got some great answers.

Many of the women here are married to servicemen and have had to move a fair bit due to postings.

How exciting to be making this move even if you are leaving family & friends behind. You will make new friends and your family & friends will enjoy coming to visit.

To keep in touch use skype. If you have a good internet deal and you have a camera you will be able to talk and see as often as you need. We use it to talk to our DD and grandchildren and DH's brother overseas.

It took me a while (we've been here 12months next week) and the police is a great 'family' to have, but I wanted to meet people independent of them. I joined a gym (and got a great deal where I run the creche one day a fortnight in return for free gym membership), we go to playgroup, DD does swimming lessons and gymnastics, and I've just sucked up my nerves and asked a couple of the other mums out or round for a coffee. I've made some great friendships, and often other mums are as nervous as you.

ETA I highly doubt it, but if you're moving to central Australia, give me a hoy
