5 years
 

It will be 5 years ago this coming Sunday the 14th of August since we landed at Lester Pearson on a particularly miserable wet morning.

We gained citizenship this January and our Canuck passports are winging their way through the post to us as I type.

Just renewed my drivers licence for the first time and various other documents that have come due.

Voted in our first Canadian elections.

Have a mortgage, RRSP's, Pensions, RESP, Credit cards out the waazoo (all paid off) and a bank that wants to give us $55000 in credit (get stuffed!).

Brought another Canuck into the world with the birth of our daughter 16 weeks ago.

Still infuriated by the price of cheese!

Good luck and best wishes to all.

Congratulation on the population addition.

Theres more to life than cheese:thumbsup:

Re: 5 years
 

As Iaink says there's more to life than cheese !
I mean what about the lousy bacon and the baked beans ! Surly that must have had a major disruptive impact on you life ! It's not all expensive wine and roses you know. ;)

Seriously though, congratulations and best wishes for many more happy years.

Re: 5 years
 

Cheers both of you.

You do know I was being sarcastic with regards to the cheese?


It's the lack of Marmite that really makes living here unbearable!!

Re: 5 years
 

Congrats on your first 5 years and your new Canadian.

Hmm Marmite and cheese on toast.

No you weren't. Go have a coffee on me and not instant. :p:D

Seriously congrats on your 5 year Canniversary and more so for being a dad to a new Canadian.

Congrats MM.

Re: 5 years
 

Once again. Thanks to all.

Canuck passports came through on Friday so we'll be using them to get back to the UK this September for a holiday. I shall look forward to going through the Canadian line at Lester Pearson on the way back. :)

Steve - Still don't miss the instant gravy you drink.

Re: 5 years
 

Take you old UK pps with you so you can go though the fast line in the UK;)

Re: 5 years
 

Oh yes - I'm doing that too! Just got a new UK pp from Washington this year.

Re: 5 years
 

Even an expired one is OK in a pinch for Queue hopping;)

Re: 5 years
 

Congrats MM - good to hear your update and life seems to be muddling along quite swimmingly! And congrats on the lack-of-sleep addition to the family too :D

Re: 5 years
 

Time flies - many congrats.

<wheres your old avatar? - I used to love that in a scary kind of way>

Re: 5 years
 

Cheers MM.

The clown is off scaring kiddies at the moment.

Re: 5 years

Hope you and all the family are well
