SKI-er or Sk-ater. We know how to enjoy ourselves

Hi Everyone :hello:

Sorry head's a shed sorting out running the rally and organising the birthday bash within it, inviting friends and rellies to the BBQ on Thursday that DH doesn't know about yet:rolleyes:. Praying for a dry day/evening. Also how do you fit the food for a party into a caravan size fridge!!! Luckily only 10 miles from home, so may have a few trips backwards and forwards! Also repeating it on Saturday for some on holiday on Thursday:o

Been shopping today for raffle prizes, cheese for C&W night(s) and some beer, plus of course the natural Tea & Coffee making goods.:rolleyes:

Pee'd off with the lack of real summer, and after this my 60th in a year or so will be in Spain! Had almost 3 weeks at home, that is far too long:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Enjoy France MW Moiliere is back in the UK atm, visiting her new grandaughter. Looks like early Oct. before I get back to Spain.

p.s. MW you asked if BIL & wife did not envy the lifestyle we have - No they think we are mad, and will not even coming out to Spain for a visit, it would cost them for a passport, and they cannot afford it. They are coming to see DH on his birthday now, due to their daughter bringing them - but in the day time cos they don't do BBQ's. When she has a birthday bash for her young kids, we are invited with the wine drinking mates and and not the morning Grandparents visit;). Chalk and Cheese, they do look alike DH & his B but that is where it stops.

We are still in the UK, don't yet have a booking for return to Spain but early September is a possibility.

We have really enjoyed our stay here in spite of the weather; we have been here eleven weeks now so will be good practice for our six-month stint next year.

Thanks everybody - I missed you all. Hi Francophile - I am going to a place south of Toulouse. Have fun with your visitors. DG - it all sounds exhausting but I am sure it will be great. Your BIL and Mrs sound a right pair - just feel sorry for them. Wierd pair.
Bon Voyage SDW - and a safe journey.

Hi, folks. Yes this thread has been very quiet lately.

Think we are all fed up with the flipping weather. What a summer for you, SDW!
Sounds like the DG celebration will be a great one! What a pity we couldn't go instead of BIL!

We have missed the boat with the good dollar exchange rate.
Bon voyage, MW.

Off to sunny Florida in the morning!

Can't wait to see DS.

The thread has been so quiet lately. What are you all up to?

I think one or two or them (the usual noisy ones) :rotfl: are holidaying!

Have a great time, think we are heading back to Spain at the end of the month too.

Some of us are working ...

However we're off SKIing in Fuerteventura next week - in fact this time next week we'll be there, probably crashed out recovering from the horrendously early start.

And I only have 3.5 days left at work to get a TON of stuff done ... so time to end my delayed lunch hour and get nose back on grindstone ...

Have a great time Savvy Sue.

We're still in UK.....

Have a lovely holiday S-S my latest ski-ing decision is to stop getting side/back ache when I iron, and get my old cleaner back to iron once a fortnight.

Sounds excellent DG. I have an even cheaper solution -don't iron.

Seriously, we only bought an iron and ironing board in Spain in case the house exchangers wanted to use them. We didn't have one until May this year.
