thanks everyone!

i shouldnt have an issue getting a job anywhere as i am a nurse so that should be reletively easy. we dont have any playgroups or things like that here at the moment at edinburgh so when we move i will definately get involved with that.

thank you so much for all of this. it has really helped.
There is a very active defence playgroup that meets at DSTO (every wednesday, I think). They seem a pretty friendly bunch & they do other social things sometimes too.
