Relaxing on Sat, both had a very busy week at work. Sunday off for a sail to the island, will relax once there, probably staying overnight and then sail back sometime monday. Will possible spend some time chiding co-workers who spent a very, very long time waiting in line to get a certain phone this morning.

Tonight and tomorrow consist of cleaning the house like a mad woman and roping husband a girls into it too - and grocery shopping for a houseful.

Sunday we welcome our first family visitors :thumbsup: - after being here over three years, someone deigns to visit :sneaky::p

(Not looking forward to the farewells though, already :unsure: )

Sun: Soccer coaching course, Notawasaga.

Mon: Dad Son day flying RC planes at the Ajax club day, OH working, eve, family time at the beaches, maybe.

The best thing about living in Ontario is the weather is bloomin great. It's almost always sunny and dry. Unlike UK bank hol's that i can remember. :thumbdown:

I can say the same for Alberta! We have had an unusually wet few weeks but the sun shines a bit everyday!

So many places in NS we havent been able to see yet, looking forward to relaxation, fire pits and marshmallows, slightly concerned about amount of packing for 2 kids and a dog and us, but should be fun;)

This is where I love living here and still being in a position to explore different areas of the province, once were done here still have the rest of Canada to go:thumbsup:

what do you all have planned?


Working :(

Hoping we HAVE to keep hold of it and move there permanently when DD finishes high school in 3 years. I love it so much, I prefer it there to the house we live in, I've never lived somewhere I like as much - Doesn't look much from outside but the actual inside is lovely, have a look! http://www.realtor.ca/propertyDetail...dKey=288599083

lovely house ..... liking the sofa cover!!

We don't have any firm plans - will prob take the kids out somewhere and go for a nice long walk and picnic.

We are going camping next weekend though for a week... decided to avoid the long weekend because of teh crowds.

Thank you. Just had to check the pic's, do you mean the Union Jack? That's DD's old duvet cover, she's got a double bed now, but she still wants me to find a duvet/cover to fit that one too, she has A Union Jack and a St Georges Cross in her bedroom too.

OH wants me to go out in the boat (dinghy) with him :eek: ... last time he somehow steered us onto a tree stump thingy in the water & we ended up spinning around in circles like one of those spinning plates!! My mate was visiting from the UK at the time & it had taken me days to persuade her she'd be safe in the boat :rolleyes:

Might spend the day in Vancouver tomorrow if I survive today though :thumbsup:

LOL, I think that's where the duvet cover cam from:rofl: She saw someone on telly wearing a UJ dress the other night, I got a 'Oh Mum' and the eyes. I just said I s'pose you want one of those now? I have to bring back a few UJ/England t-shirts when I visit next week.

Thanks PP - really looking forward to seeing them.

The house is now a sparkling palace, and if anyone dares to even breathe, let alone touch the floor, move one item or eat a grape before they arrive tomorrow, there will be trouble.

After that, who cares? :lol:
