Good news about the car part. And you also get refund from power company? You ARE having a good month.
Happy Humpday folks!
wow, a double bonus!! Fab to hear some good news after you guys were hit with the foreign xchange hassle
Dreamworks really showed off their talents in Megamind - amazing scenes with water and hair.
cheers,
Good Morning Everyone !!! 4 Weeks from tomorrow my girls and I leave for Orlando !!!!
For anyone who is interested, I have created a Packing List
for the trip - note it is still a work in progress, but I have left spaces where you can add to it or take stuff off you won't need.
You can download a copy of my packing list here: http://www.4shared.com/document/lAH5mr6m/UltimatePackingList.html
For the listing of Duck Tape on the Packing List - Here is some reasons why to pack a roll: (from the Cruise Boards)
>It can hem pants or a skirt in an emergency.
> It can fix a rip in clothing. (great for fixing a hole in a pocket)
>It can seal bottles of shampoo, suntan lotion, etc so they don't leak in your luggage.
> It can mend broken flip flops.
> It can keep silent a rattling closet door at 3 am in rough seas.
> It can mend a broken camera strap.
> It can mend a broken belt.
> It can secure a power strip out of the way so don't trip on it or the cords for all your rechargable phones/cameras/DVD players/laptops.
> Reenforce broken binding on the book you brought.
> Keep kids from leaving the stateroom while you shower.
>And many many more handy uses.
Waiting for ship to be cleared to head back to work
Every cruise we learn a bit more...
Did you know that when the ship refuels (done at Castaway Cay) that all flames are prohibited? This has an amazing effect on the swimming pools (which are nornmally kept between 80-84 degrees)...
They dropped to somewhere near 70 degrees for the 4+ hours it takes to fill the old gal up.... We spent the entire morning drinking bloddy marys watching unsuspecting cruisers come running up and jumping into the adult pool only to rise immeadiately above the water and run to the hot tub
The best part was that the hot tubs were cold as well
Happily all pools were back to normal temps by 2PM
Also....
The lifegaurds at CC are on a 3&1/2 week schedule (there are 7 of them) and they come back to Orlando with the Wonder which picks up the next crew and leves them on the island... I had always thought that there were minimal caretakers at CC... This is apparently not so (maybe that is why the tallest palm tree in the Bahamas was built on CC (it is really an antenna) to provide communication, etc.
The crew is excited about our cruise... we may even have some special goodies available to us (lime green in color) for the Nassau shopping presentation
Can't wait to see everyone (and get the necessary exercise in distributing the Fish exchange gifts)
Just got back from check-up Dr Appoinment. According to their scale, I've lost 20#
Thanks - what is the story of Megamind, is it an adult movie or kids or both?
Good morning everyone - happy Friday for me as we've got a day off work tomorrow Gonna see the new style Disney store in Milton Keynes and do a bit of Christmas shopping

Interesting question....I'm not sure you can buy a gift card with another gift card, but it's certainly worth asking.I have an odd question. Can I go to the Disney Store and buy a larger gift card with smaller ones? Fewer cards to loose seems like a better idea for me.

DS says yes.

Hi Todd,
I just called the Disney Store in Fort Worth TX to see if they could consolidate gift cards and they said that they could NOT transfer cards. I would call the store near you before you make a trip.
I think it depends on the card.
I am planning on going to the Disney Store this evening (or tomorrow) so I'll stick them in my pocket and ask when I'm there. Worst thing they can say is no, right?
