Default Any Geordies around?

Hi everyone,

are there any Geordies or other folk from the North East around here who would enjoy a little LC forum gatehring in the North East? Iīll be moving to Newcastle in September and virtually donīt know ANYONE there.

Just curious...Iīd go and and if some others would enjoy a little meeting, too.

Katie

Richard,

this is for you:



I enjoy reading your posts and would love to get to know you and the others personally. Tried to pm you, but they wonīt let me (too few posts, I wonder?).

WE-ELL...I am actually considering moving to Sunderland or somehwere else near Newcastle, too. I will work as an assistant teacher in the inner city, and my school is finding me a place to stay. Their last assistant had a monthly rent of 230 GP for a single room. Jeez...this is by far extends what I would be prepared to pay for a room in the long run. Can you tell me anything about housing prices around Newcastle? Where would you look for some other place to stay if you were me?

Thanks,
Katie

My name is Robert - not Richard!

You could get a 2 bedroom flat for about 375 and split the costs with a flatmate. Flat are available much cheaper too. It all depends on the area. You really need to come here and sort it out. Newcastle is a really swinging city. You'll love it!

Robert

P.S. Yes, you need a certain minimum no of posts before you can PM.

Hi Katie,

I live about 8 miles north of Newcastle. You should really enjoy the north east, as Robert says, it's a great place. Newcastle made the top 10 of world party cities!! I'm not sure if tjhat's good or bad

There are a few of us around in the area who could hopefully meet up.

Enjoy your day.

Hi there. I'm in Newcastle, I could be interested in a meet, be fun to share some ideas and stories.

I used to post on here a while back, but I've been using a different board. But still been low carbing all that time, lost over 4 and a half stone now. Probably better go update my stats on here.

Hello - I live in Newcastle - I am sure you will love living in the North East - it is a great place and we are a lovely lot of people

a get together would be fantastic and if we could get some dates set up to see what is best for everyone - great.

Default Get the party started

Hey everybody,

hope youīve all enjoyed your Christmas time this year.

I havenīt posted here for quite some time, but I didnīt forget about our plans to meet. So, what do you say, people from the NE? (Or -if you like travelling that far- from all over Britain ) Still in the mood to meet some other LCers from the region? Any suggestions on how to go about this?

Hope to hear from zillions of interested low carbers

Katie
