Thumbs up Oh My God!!!!!!!

Hi Guys,
OH and I are just enjoying our first beer in Canada, we're here with our 3 children on our first recce trip. It has been quite eventful..... we were due to leave home yesterday morning for Manchester airport at 11am, but from the moment we woke it all started to go wrong....

I was woken at 7am with those immortal words, 'mum, Beccy's being sick'.............:curse:

Quick trip to the doctor's who said fly anyway, just a bug, but he also said airline might stop you.

Just about to leave when it happens again, but this time it's 'mum, Jack's being sick'...........:curse:

After much debate we decided to go for it, plan B if they refused us was for OH to fly on ahead with the non puker, me to return with the 2 pukers and to follow them out as soon as possible, his idea, not mine.....:curse:

Drove to airport, checked in ok, made it through security with Beccy looking like she was going to pass out, and then had to run for the plane!

What a day, we were very glad to get to Canada.....

First day,

We all love it, we have been to Tim Horton's (had the timbits), driven to Barrie, Wasaga Beach, and been to Walmart and a local market....

We want to live here..................OH now really has to get a job!

Charlie

It was wise of you to get the Timbits. They were bound to solve any health problems that your family might have been experiencing.

Glad you feel happy. Hope you turn your move into reality soon.

Chipmonk is an evolutionary variation of the chipmunk in that it believes in creationism and an afterlife. It certainly doesn't believe it came from monkeys. Chipmunks are naturally disposed to evolution, the chipmonk is too thick to realise it is a product of it.
