It is an excellent feeling, knowing that we have not gone through a fair bit of stress and expense for nothing. Sadly the 'Dry January' only lasted 11 days, but was ended in style!

Thanks Schnooks and Shaky - next jobs:
1. Land
2. Look for jobs
3. Research snowmobiles

If you have enough points, you will always get pulled out in the next round of invitations. We had 482 points so got invited straight away fortunately.
