All this in the avoidance of house work that badly needs doing...and dinner preperations...so am I bored...no, should I be...nope, just not in the mood

Ahhh there's Sunday anyway.

You on Canadian research - we're just busy getting in moval quotes...and they are a bit scary...so more thinning to be done I suspect.

Did you go to the immigration show, the removals people were giving discount or free storage, could send you details if you like ?

I am researching moving with WP and goods to follow, i had an email saying if you move with wp not PR you are subject to duty on your goods you bring in and most of the containers are being opened with a charge of $800-1,000 extra dollars :eek: but can't find anything on it in Wiki or in the posts ? so may post a new thread,

sounds like you have your hands full, my OH is at home but doing some work as well :( so much to do as well but like you i am using evasion tactics :rofl:

Unfortunately or not (depends on your prospective) would have loved to have gone to the show - Epsom is not far from us so that would have been ideal, but we were over in Canada at that time...so we missed it and couldn't justify the trip to Edinburgh on th 24th either - not to mention we had too much to do as we left on 28th.

Well, it is puddling down here and very grey - that is one thing I miss about Sask - at least the sun shone :shades_smile:...even if the snot froze in your nose :embaressed_smile:

No sun today Dawn, and it snowed again last night, not much just a light dusting to keep us in our place - how said something about spring :confused:

Well we had huge flakes of snow here in the week - see attachment - but until tonight it is still officially winter here (clocks go forward tonight here) so don't forget - joy that will mean the Ruggies get up an hour earlier :ohmy: will have to remember to go to bed earlier.....

It took me many years to accept fruit in curries....I will never get used to PNB being a sweet delicacy - same as Maple Bacon and pancakes / cornbread on the same plate with maple syrup

Pardon my ignorance :o but I'm assuming Denny's is a resturant? How does it differ from others???

It's a diner and it doesn't differ from any others, it just fills me full of good memories. Spent many an hour in various ones either having breakfast before going to bed after a good night/morning out or with the kids when they used to come on holidays with us mostly in Florida.

We have spent many and hour having an early breakfast in Denny's on the 192 opposite Old Town Kissemmee after a night in the Blue Max or the new bar on the opposite corner (can't remember the name) .:wub:

Its a very relaxed way of eating especially with kids, they are or have been in the past very flexible about what you order which is fab with kids as you know :thumbsup:
