    Hey everyone!! We would prob be free to meet up on Fri if anyone wants too? Lollipops? Have been really busy trying to get stuff done around the house. Is never ending!! I wish I just had a new house instead!!

    Anyway, hopefully we might catch up Fri!!!!
    Fri lollipops is good for me.

    A new house made no difference, actually it is worse. I haven figured out where everything goes yet!

    Hey girls,
    Thought it be best to put this in here. I'm looking for some nice accommodation for DH & I to stay in, when we head to Townsville in November. Doesn't really matter where it is as we'll have our car. Anyone know a good place? $$ doesn't really matter either.
    Thanks

    Rach, welcome to BB. Nicola will probably post the details in here for you so keep watching this thread. Oh, and feel free to contribute. We use it to chat to each other and organise meets as well. If you want to meet us, feel free to turn up. Just let us know so we can keep an eye out for you.

    Jodi, I have only stayed in the Quest Apartments. They were lovely and self-contained but parking was a pain. They didn't have enough parking spaces for the apartments and we were there at a particularly busy time. Otherwise, I can't recommend any. Are you moving to Townsville or coming on holidays? Have you tried the wotif website for accommodation?

    Ali, I checked out a few daycares and the only one that I liked was the Unicare one at JCU. However, I have noticed a few daycares that I couldn't get into as they were full are advertising vacancies now. To be honest, I hated all the ABC ones I looked at and wasn't that impressed with the Community Care ones either.

    Hi Everyone,

    I've been a 'lurker' on BB for some time now, however you will see from my post count that I'm a bit slack at actually becoming involved in threads!

    I thought I'd 'bite the bullet' and introduce myself in here. I'm living in Townsville, although am originally from the Gold Coast where we've left all of our family and friends. I have a 2 year old DD and another bub due to arrive in about 3 1/2 weeks.

    I would love to get to know some other Townsville parents as I'm feeling a bit isolated.

    Michelle.

    Ali - my kids are in Premier Early Learing Centre on Geaney lane in Deeragun which is just a bit north of Mt Louisa up Bruce Highway. Like literally minutes from you. They are fabulous and should have vacancies! Let me know if you want their #.

    Jodi - Quest is nice but its in city and parking is a pain. Some other suggestions:

    Seagulls on the Strand - around 136/night
    Mecure on Wool**** St - around 105/night
