Welcome back Piff Poff....I am craving Fish and Chips now - with MALT vinegar ;)

I think you're on the 'French Canadian' Setting - so I think the '?' would be 'shift - 6' or go to the task bar and change the keyboard setting 'EN' & it'll all be back to normal.

Welcome back, I'm glad things went ok and that you have realised the UK is home no more. It's nice to hear about people who made the right decision.

Re: Our two Weeks in the UK
 

Welcome home Piff Poff. Glad it all muddled along OK for you. Well done for trying the doughnuts twice - well, one must be sure about these things !

Regards to your hubby and all the family. :)

Re: Our two Weeks in the UK
 

Well the ones from Tesco were full of jam but stodgy and so we tried the local bakers ones which were tight on the old jam but a bit fluffier - I decided that doghnuts were better being dreamt about than eaten:thumbdown:

Re: Our two Weeks in the UK
 

Good to have you back PP, ditto what everyone else says bout the funeral (i'm crap with words and s**t!) so now Canada is your "old pair of comfy slippers eh!"

;)

Re: Our two Weeks in the UK
 

Welcome back to Canada (even if it is Alberta :rofl:) you write as if you have a spring in your step :lol: so you must have missed us.

Re: Our two Weeks in the UK
 

yeah ya buggers I missed ya all:mad:

Our trip back reconfirmed how lucky we are to be here. We popped in to see some old work colleagues and the same ones were still there doing the same things and still moaning about how bad it all was and how lucky we were, I just felt like saying well get off your arse and do something about it.

So I guess we re-appreciate our new lives! I like the comfy slippers motto too!

Re: Our two Weeks in the UK
 

Sorry to read about the circumstances of your trip home - but Biggleswade is a word I haven't heard for a while - I went to school there (yep - Stratton Upper.....need I say more?)

Re: Our two Weeks in the UK
 

Glad the trip went okay, rubbish circumstance.

I am looking forward to getting the NL to then have a trip back in a couple of years time!

The local Asda in Stevenage and our Letchworth Saisbury's, it's the same, it's a fight for the shelf fillers to get the stuff on the shelves as quick as possible, regardless of the customers in the way.

I always have to tutt to, at the check out, when the person slams your apples on the scales and bashes your carefully picked produce.

Re: Our two Weeks in the UK
 

I lived just around the corner from Stratton Upper, my daughter went to Lawnside and then Edward Peake, I met my hubby whilst working at Mantles!

I have fond memories of Biggleswade - a great little town that has everything you need.

Re: Our two Weeks in the UK
 

Ahh! But at least you've got Lidl's (sp? I've forgotten) with the jam and cream filled doghnuts (in the frozen section if you haven't found them yet!).

Re: Our two Weeks in the UK
 

Biggleswade was the big city for me... I was born and raised in Gamlingay...not so similar to Vancouver!

Re: Our two Weeks in the UK
 

glad your trip went well as it could go, :) nice to be missed isnt it? bet your doggy went mad!:)
