5 days to go
 
I will be going to canada black and blue as all I do is walk in to boxes,did some family good byes and ended up looking like a panda.Im really dreading saying good bye to my mom this weekend as on monday we have the shippers coming.I decided to get my hair done here as reading posts about hairdressers in canada frightend the hell out of me,hell they are not much better here I got soaked right down to my knickers as the silly woman was yak yak yaking and not looking at what she was doing and it was chucking it down outside she even sent me out soaking dripping from my head to my arse.what do I make of my spanking new hairstyle? well short of sticking my head out the plane at 1000 miles an hour for a instant face lift wouldnt sort:rofl:I called the DHSS to cancel my sons allowances and when they asked for a contact number I told them we dont have a land line as we have been cut off so we can pay our bills all I got was what your paying your bills are you mad:blink:I guess we must be the only nutters who pay bills when leaving Glasgow.but I look on the bright side and think 5 days to go and we will be in Lloydminster where if my silly mutt runs off we will still be able to see her from miles away.well thats my gossip for another wee while cos I have to wait until we can get on to wireless to see how everyone is doing and being friday Im in the bar tonight:thumbsup:

Congrats Kate and family :thumbup:.

Let me know what your dogs name is in case she runs away, I'll give you a wave when she gets here, it's only 500km :D

Netty07 is in Lloydminster so you'll have someone to shout over the provincial line to.

I hope all goes well for you and your family - safe journey. :thumbsup:

There's nothing wrong with you Kate, we took it all in our stride to. Mal left a week earlier than me so we did the goodbyes before he left except the kids and my mother. They are all so used to use going off on holidays a few times a year and travelling for work I think they just thought "they're off again"

Ours were happy goodbyes! But we did not sell our house so that may make it seem not so permanent to those left behind.
