i'd say go for the fam, at least you get a bit of a disney fix that way. did you lose much money by cancelling?
how's everyone's week going anyway? i'm just so tired at the mo, doing quite a bit of overtime this week and not feeling too well anyway so its just taking its toll at the mo. i've got sunday and monday off, so only got 2 more days til some rest and relaxation.....

I applied for the Disneyland fam this morning. I have to wait and see if I get approved. Fingers crossed ladies!

Is Gary ok? I saw your status update that you were worried about him.

 

[disney honeymooners]

I have my fingers crossed for you, Yeah karen is gary ok?
IM FREEZING!!!!!

 

[karentan]

he's physically ok, but he's having a lot of crap at work recently and its getting worse, he might end up quitting in the next month or so.
fingers crossed for the fam jenny!!

one more day at work then 2 whole days off! cant wait!! i've been so tired recently....

How's it going ladies? How was the weekend? On Saturday we got hit with a snow storm so I spent a good part of the afternoon shoveling. Superbowl Sunday which basically meant I got to eat a lot.

Still no word on the Disney fam!

 

[disney honeymooners]

I spent Superbowl Sunday with my mom and the rest of my family we pigged out i was so stuffed when i got home my grandmother made her wonderful chicken salad It is the best and i got lucky she made some for me to take home.

 

[jenny105]

Care to share some of that? I'm starving!

 

[disney honeymooners]

maybe but then again i dont even share it with greg LOL but he wouldnt eat it anyway but my mom loves it just as much as i do and we wont share with each other if my grandmother gives either of us any. I know its sad

 

[karentan]

well i was working saturday, but been off yesterday and today just been enjoying some nice time being able to do absolutely nothing.
but (and thats a big but), my car went in for its annual service and MOT today, took it to a garage that i've never used before, but they were advertising an offer, so took it there. got a call to say it'd failed its MOT, apparently my headlights are too high up, the indicator lights on the side are the wrong color (??) and all 4 brakes need changing, brake pads and the shoes. the service and MOT should have cost £120, they wanted £520 to do the lot. not impressed.
luckily mum was out and about and took it round the corner to the place she takes her car, they said the brakes are ok and do not need changing, the headlights are easy to fix, and the indicators arent even on the MOT anyway.
bottom line, had to pay the robbing b**tards garage £120, then going to take the car back to the other garage on friday to get the couple of bits done and get it re tested.
expensive lesson. just going to stick to my normal garage next time.

You can't trust mechanics!! They're constantly trying to rip you off. Take it from one who works with a whole bunch of them!! I won't even let these guys touch my car!!

 

[m_kasch]

Hey now! Let's not take it out on all mechanics! Tim's a mechanic! Lol!

We are at disney now, out room at the gf has an awesome view...you cam see poly, the wilderness lodge, contemporary, and the magic kingdom, including the castle! We were surprised, since we only paid for lagoon view, not mk!

I watched the shuttle launch from my balcony this morning for a pic!

 

[karentan]

i saw your photo on facebook mary, we saw the one that launched in 2008, was amazing, shame they're stopping the shuttle programme.
i've got work this afternoon and got a stinking cold

 

[jenny105]

Mary, wave hi to WL for me! I miss it!

Still no word on whether or not I've been approved for the Disneyland fam. If I do, I hope we get to stay in the Grand Californian. It reminds me of WL.

Karen, it seems like you've been sick all winter! Load up on vitamin C!!

 

[karentan]

i take vitamins every day and they never seem to do me any good....

 

[jenny105]

I do too but I've noticed I don't get sick half as much as I used to. But when I do get sick, it's for an extended period of time.

I've been away from DIS for two days and this was the only thread that was posted on during that time frame. Where is everybody?

 

[karentan]

i've been wondering where everyone was on here too!

 

[disney honeymooners]

im here i have just been working alot i found the website for the ship yard building the disney dream and they have a webcam and you can see the back of the dream.

 

[karentan]

yeah i saw a photo of it yesterday, looking good so far, and its nice to know that it still looks like a disney ship, not one of the big white boxes that all the other cruise lines sail. i think thats part of the reason i like DCL so much, their ships are sooooo much prettier than the other liners.

so whats everyone up to at the weekend? i'm working saturday like normal, then doing overtime sunday 11-3, gary's leaving for the airport at about midday (he's going to germany for 2 days on business), so on valentines day, we'll be lucky if we see each other for an hour or so in the morning, romantic eh!

 

[jenny105]

Hey girls. After work tonight, I'm going out for drinks with my co-workers. As for the rest of the weekend, who knows? Sucks that you won't get to see Gary on Valentine's Day. Lainey, do you have any plans? I was actually asked on a date for V-Day...

 

[disney honeymooners]

nope u dont have any plans greg will probably be working and so will i so i will be home alone so it is gonna suck. Thats cool are you gonna go out?
