Friday 10th September

Ok so only using our Canada earnings didnt quite work out. It took about a week or so to clear then when it did clear me and mike both entered out pins incorrectly 3 times on a night out in Banff like the idiots that we are. Then we had to wait a week until we got a day off so we could travel to Canmore the neighbouring town to sort it out! We went to Canmore today and deposited our new 2nd pay cheque.They come overy 2 weeks. Minimum wage here is $10 an hour and that is what we are on. We reset out pin numbers with the Cashier - then the intellectual woman asked me "What would you like me to do with this Cheque?" Hmmm I pondered resisting the urge to say something equally stupid....Erm stick it up yer arse love?...what are my options? Of couse I would like to put the cheque in my bank account! Idiots!

We had a few drinks on Thursday in the local Pump and Tap and a few games of free pool. (free pool until 8.00pm) I beat Mike 3-1 and gloated accordingly. I love the way that Mike and I are equal at all games we play. We play tennis regularly after work and we are forever playing the point Deuce and its always 3-2, 4-3, 1-1 etc. When we play pool its the same, fussball, air-hocky, cards etc. Its great to have a boyfriend that we enjoy the same things and we are at the same level competitvely playing. We have been enjoying working together and being silly together and are getting on really well. I really enjoy his company and I never get tired or annoyed with him I think we buzz of each other and i love it.

I ordered Mum her presents which I cannot disclose on here as she has not received them yet! Happy Birthday Mum by the way! Love, kisses and hugs from Canada! I left a present for her to open before I left Candada which I bought in Cyprus and Moonpig should be delivering her a birthday card on Tuesday - one day late but I think i've done quite well seen as i am 3559 miles away!
