Guest Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hi Everyone There is a possibility that I may be re locating to the Midlands at Easter. The "other half" has got interviews around the Birmingham area. Dont know the area at all so can anyone advise me who to contact? Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hi Sandybabe, I'm in Birmingham. What kind of contacts do you want? Jobs, housing area's, pubs and clubs?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Sandybabe, try these links to Birmingham City council and the Early Years Development team. Birmingham city home page Early years page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Thanks Rea for your reply. Looking for areas to live - not forgetting nice pubs!! Redditch looks nice and the areas towards Birmingham. Had a look at the web sites and going to contact SureSTart Greatful for any more ideas for Nursery or schools Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 The parts of Redditch I know are good, my parents and brother live there, shoppings good too, I know my ex sister in law goes to the pubs and clubs but I dont know what they're like. Wythall, Hollywood, Alvechurch, parts of Kings Heath, Shirley, parts of Hall Green, actually parts of all of them, good and bad everywhere isnt there? Have you tried the childcare link site for nurseries in the areas? I'll put a link here for you, good luck nearly neighbour If you need postcodes try these B14 - Kings Heath areas, B90 - Solihull areas, B98 - Redditch areas childcare link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundia Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 hi Sandybabe from another Brummie, I have lived (and worked ) all over Birmingham. You mentioned Redditch, I dont live far from there and like everywhere else on the planet there are nice and not-sonice bits. Redditch is one of those places that produces a calendar every year called 'Roundabouts of Redditch'. Hmmm, more worrying is that people actually buy it!! When you asked about nurseries and school, did you mean in tems of work for yourslef or schools for your children? To be honest the best thing to do is if your 'other half' gets a job here, then come and take a look around and rent somewhere whilst you get to know the city. Ill leave the pubs and night life to Rea, Im far too old for such things!! By the way Rea, your links didnt work for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Point 1 - mundia, you are never too old Point 2 - I've been feeling really clever about doing links and now you've dashed all my hopes of ever being able to change my signature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 No dont despair, the last one worked for me but I didnt check the others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Perhaps that should be your aim when you give up your job Rea - enrol on a computer course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
