Hello - i'm new - help! 3questions!

[froggy2000]

Hello- i'm new and not used to using message boards etc. so bear with me! I'm 54, have had ME for some time and now a lot better. I also have minor back problems. I live in south west scotland - stranraer.
(I) I would especially like to hear from female members, with a view to friendship possibly more.
(2)Also has anyone any ideas about getting a job, now that I am better as have been trying without much success!!
(3)Lastly, I am hoping to go to New Zealand next year on the last of my savings and wondered if any of u might be heading that way- or have any tips about doing it? I am a bit nervous of going as I still have bad days!!! especially if I become overtired.
I am interested in all things connected with the countryside/environment/permaculture/walking and help with a local animal charity. I am tall with a beard and am a bit of an ageing hippy!

Thanks for your message. Of course u can come to NZ with me!!
One of my reasons for looking for female company through your site is that I thought I might find someone who understands ME.
Thanks for looking for other sites for me.

Right petal!! ... here we

Employ ME = www.employ-me.org.uk/

This is is list of sites for ME support in NZ petal www.theriver.com/Public/cfids/aus~1.htm
You may well want to do a bit of digging though petal, i would be seriously thinking about weather they would actualy let you in to NZ. A history of disability or illness is v. v. likaly to 'hinder' your aplication. They are v. v. v. v. funny as you may well be unable to work again and they are not going to want to give you beneftis! (Kinda fair enough really!)
Let me know how it goes when you find out and so on???

... meeting female members, just clicked that your name is James .. are you Bi? Hope you dont mind me asking only you might have missed the site is for disabled people who are gay, lesbian, bi, TG, TS and all the malarkie!! lol ... i'l let you stay if your on your besting behaviour though

Right chicken, im going back to my duvet
Love always xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
