It's almost the middle of January already....I hope our holiday doesn't fly past as fast as this! 9 more sleeps!!!! 9 more sleeps :)
I think we are all set to go now......our housesitter is organized (thank you!!) and our neighbours have been told and will be keeping an eye on the place too....the dogs are booked into the kennels and all the other animals will be cared for by our housesitter :)
This morning Lloyd and I went out for breakfast and then did some shopping - mainly for our trip......t-shirts for the children, a new handbag (purse) for me....and some magazines/ toys for the children for on the plane......
Lloyd just brought the suitcases in so we can start packing and getting ready.....not long now :) Not long :)
On the way back from town, Lloyd and I stopped in at the Big Brother-big sister million dollar lottery home.....for those of you in the UK, many charities over here raffle off fully furnished brand new homes.....often the tickets can be $100 each but these are just $25 each or 10 for $100..........and this time the house is in Sherwood Park.......so yes we stopped in to lok and we were so NOT impressed....how can THAT be worth a million dollars????????
The first thing I noticed as we walked in and through the walk through pantry, was that the oven doors open the wrong way - what a pain thats going to be for the owner.....but there are a lot of things we didn't like about the house....the lot is tiny so it is very over looked and the finish inside is not very good at all...its tiny too.....so uh yes - NOT impressed...if we won we would definitely sell!
Chris is sleeping at his friends tonight in town.....tomorrow Lloyd is taking Laurence and Sam to the motorcycle show........I am making pampered chef's cold veggie pizza for dinner tonight......although Lloyd did offer to get Joeys take-out when he takes CHris into town......hhhmmmmm what to do......
Thank you to everyone for your concerns...I'll be fine :)
I think I'm going to make a nice big cup of tea......
The owner of the villa we are staying in keeps sending us literature and info about the house and area...I am SO impressed with this villa so far! GREAT service! Oh I cannot wait......pool, hot tub, and a decent BATH - I am taking a jelly bath to enjoy there :) www.jellybath.com if you haven't tried these then DO because they are AMAZING........
When is Ice on Whyte? I want to go to that before we leave for our holiday....I love Ice on Whyte. I think we have been to every single one...they don't compare to Lake Louise's ice carvings, but they are still wonderful.....the ice slides are a huge hit with the children:
