The temp was -14 but it wasn't that bad, granted you felt it in your throat at first and coughed a little but i was happy that i embraced it ..

The jet lag is awful, i was up at 3am this morning (yes Canadian time) talking to my mum as I'm still on UK time but i'll just grab a few winks later ..

Been to the shopping mall and its ok .. i think i need to be on my own to truly appriciate the sales ..

So we are in the process of buying things but the buses are hindering our efforts somewhat due to the fact it wont stop snowing ..

Going to the children's school on Thursday to register them and they will start next monday ..

So that's really it .. just plodding along .. i thought i would be more excited but I'm not .. oh well ..

Sorry this isn't some long winded story .. I'm knackered.

Regarding the shopping mall .. we have been to Bayshore and lincoln fields mall ..

We brought a tv and stand on tuesday and had to get a refund as we were waiting around 3 hours for a taxi so got the bus during rush hour which was horrible with the traffic and snow ..

Definately need a car .. as im going to get killed on the roads .. just trying to get my head around it all ..
