Update...

So just to fill people in on what we are up to right now.

Daniel ~ Has enrolled in a Algonquin Careers Centre not far from our house in some accounting and payroll courses amongst other things. It seems that all the companies that Daniel applied to originally don't want to take someone on to train him up, they just want someone that is already fully trained.. He is looking for a part time job too... and he had an interview today so we'll wait and see about if that works out...

Gill ~ Had an interview on Monday for a Sales Administration job at a sleep diagnostics company (Nellcor, Puritan & Bennett - Part of Tyco Healthcare...) and on Tuesday they called to say that I got the job. It's only a 12 month contract but that it better than nothing and will offer a bit of stability, and there is a chance of it going permenant after those 12 months...

Even Phoenix has settled in a little more..





This week in the afternoons we haven't really been up to much... mostly trying to ya know do laundry, and tidy stuff up.... but yesterday we went for a drive, I really wanted to get a picture of the parliament buildings from Gatineau... but when we got there it turns out that there isn't really a place to park to get a good picture so this is all I could get...

Reunited

This afternoon after nearly 10 weeks without them we were once again reunited with our sofas! (amongst some other things...sheets, towels etc...)


Finally the numb bums will come to an end... many thanks to both Mom & Dad fo the dinning room chairs & also Nat & Mike for the beanbags... even if one of them was taken over permenantly by the cat!

For Heather & Josh

I'm not sure who you guys support but I found Ottawa playing the Bruins tonight (currently leading 3-2) and I seemed to remember a blog you wrote Josh, for Heather, whilst you were back here some time last year... anyways.. I thought of you both...



Ps) - it finished 5-2 to Ottawa...

New Digs ~ 3a Banner Road

So we've finally moved into our own place - well we've been here about a week already now so its feeling a little more like home... slowly.... Its just a rental for a year but its clean and warm and as I said, its slowly feeling more like home. As promised I have posted some pics... its still pretty empty as our furniture from England hasn't arrived here from Toronto yet, but it should be here hopefully by the end of the week.
