Day 3 was a quiet affair

Right so we woke up in the condo on Saturday morning nice and early because we were getting picked up at 9am to go back downtown and pick up our bags from the hotel, it wasn’t the greatest hurl back as we were both feeling slightly liverish due to overindulgence the night before, but we survived, nipped in, grabbed our bags, stuck on some clean clothes and back out to the car. We got run to the condo, where we dumped our bags and pulled ourselves together because we were getting picked up again, this time to go the messages.

Except we never just went the messages, we got taken to a shopping mall to pick up a mobile, or cell as they are more commonly known over here. We got it as it happens, it’s an absolute shitter. A Samsung flip phone piece of crap. Its red, its mince, it basically sucks. Also Canadian tariffs are garbage, gone are my easy to operate 600 minutes and 1000 texts which the good people at o2 offered me, no here its costing us big bucks. Were getting free local calls evenings and weekends unlimited texts which is fine though whether they are free if not local remains to be seen. What else, oh, that’s right, I havent a clue who is calling me as it cost extra a month for caller id! They need to have a good look at their phone system stuff really, apart from that its all cool I suppose. When in rome then do what the romans do so when in Canada get pumped stupid by the mobile companies like the Canadians do. I should probably add that we may have got a better deal had we taken a longer contract than the mere year we took, most companies push three years, im sure more perks would have been available had we taken longer deal.

Natalie has a wee seat while doing the messages, in what looks like the perfect TITP chair!

So anyway, the messages were bought and taken home. From there me and Natalie had a quiet night in, we had a pizza for tea which was delicious and settled down to watch oor dave on the tv, a late face off(!?) at 10.30 coupled with our late night the night before meant we succumbed and pretty much missed the lot.
