Our dogs recovered nicely from the flight, but now have fur growing out of the bottom of their paws! Must be to keep their feet warm in the snow.

I know, I cant believe that we will be here two weeks tomorrow, it feels like a lifetime ago since I left my old home. I think my wee dog needs to grow the fur from his paws too!

Loved reading the input from your mum as well - made me think of mine. First time we Skyped her she just stood with a huge grin and didn't say anything! Phoned later on that evening to actually speak to me. Ah well, it least it was a step up from my 2yr old nephew - he just blows raspberries into the webcam and shouts bear - oh oh!:):)

I just got to see my own Mum and Dad tonight on the webcam as they went down to my in laws as they are having problems with their computer and it was great to see them. However my little neices were also there and Kristen who is 7, made me cry, because she drew us a picture and held it up to the camera and on the bottom of it it said " Please come back now" - out of the mouths of babes!!
The two of them decided to stay at my mil's and they didnt go off the webcam until 12.45am UK time lol. My poor mil couldnt get them to bed at all!!

Me too, can't believe I missed this, been waiting ages.......

Hi,
I was wondering where you had got to! It's funny you watch everybody's progress for months on end, then they disappear over the pond, you sit thinking about them and what they are going through and wait for them to get connected and rejoin from the other side! I am so glad that everything is going well for you.

Congratulations :wub:

Hi pudding, bout the same as you there! The snow gets topped up once in a while, so its only drive clearing duties once a week.

We move into our rental next week, i've given Mr MMC free reign on the living room and bedroom design (ex wife who wanted it her own way) he's like a kid in a sweet shop and coming up with some great ideas!!!

Lots going on and keeping really busy - looking forward to going ATV-ing next weekend with friends along the frozen river, taking some food for a below temp bbq and maybe a couple of beers, should be a riot!

We had a couple of weeks of snapping at each other around Xmas but I think the novelty had worn off about the move and a few things were p*****g us off and I hadn't started work but now we're in the swing of things its cool.

As others have said, go with the flow cos there will be some crappy days but the good far outweigh them :wub:

Hi Alvic

Debbie in Yorkton has suggested we talk to you so consider this a virtual poke and wave hello.:thumbsup:

We are Simon and Dawn and we are looking to relocate to Yorkton and we are just at the beginning of the process and so all help is appreciated. We were talking to Debbie yesterday about LMOs etc. I will dip back through my bits so that I might formulate a coherent plan as to what question(s) Debbie thinks you might be able to help us with.

I have to dip out for a few hours so I will continue later. But just for now, hello, glad you are there wish we were too.

Talk soon

Mrs Mouse.:D

Well hello Mrs Mouse,

When you have sorted out your questions, fire away and I will do my best to help you in anyway possible.

I might not make much sense though - but I will try:blink:

I will PM you my number if you would rather chat.

Alvic
