The next bit!

well you all know the start!!
so next day, felt yuk!!
was so afraid to eat anything, my new skirts i took away (hadnt tried on since i got them over a month before,) felt to big!!
so the loose dress's i took away to wear for just around the pool came in handy!!

having a very stressful day worrying about the insurance!

did get up with a swollen arm must've been wear they put the drip in! had a headache all day,
went to TGI's for dinner ate chicken pasta i was starving! only managed a 1/4 of it such a waste! was offered a doggy bag!!

went down to old town and had a leisurly nose around, we enjoy this place love the live band and the line dancing to all!!

went for a drive around past the villa we stayed at before at florida pines, up for sale now i think, shame,
looked so different from the last time we were here, then i remember it was cos it was missing christmas decorations!![msnwink]

SATURDAY 1ST OCT

bit disappointed as the pool heating wasnt working properly, infact it was broken,, we had a community pool so we didnt go without, and hubby Steve enjoys that even more as he cant swim so liked to play with our grandson (who was an absolute angel[angel] on the plane over!!)Bradley and his daddy Andy with Steve really enjoyed themselves!!

went for a drive down to St Cloud to find the 'what not shop' with ease, and spent a small fortune with more later on dolls house bits and bobs!!

filled chrysler town and country up with $30 and it didnt even take it to half!!! when we last went it filled it with $31...... getting much dearer now!! due to Karina:(

took the kids to Mcdonalds lucky them, i ate dry toast!![msnscared]

took the family to ponderosa for dinner, everyone happy!!
still having pain but have my lovely medication,
looking forward to meeting Tricia and Dave (from here southsider)who are arriving some time today!


SUNDAY 2ND OCT
went for a nosey around walmart! bought lots of lace and bits and bobs here for my hobby dolls house!

spent the afternoon at the communal pool as the villa pool wasnt fixed yet!:( very hot and sunny, up in the 80's
went for dinner at Race Rock lovely, i ordered a chicken pot pie, derrrr, nice puff pastry, would've been rude not to have a little, it was lovely!!!
Bradley is mad for motorbikes so was in seventh heaven with all these lovely cars and bikes!!! anything fast, typical boy racer!!
(and hes only 20months)

spent ages on phone to Tricia, looking forward to meeting them!! made arrangements to meet on monday

MONDAY 3RD OCT
finally met up with Tricia and Dave, went for a nosey at their villa in crescent lakes, very nice!!
they offered me the use of their phone with free international calls to sort out bits with my GP, took ages, thought i should let him know whats going on!
had a lovely day with them both, went to 'Longhorn' Tricia had us looking for 'roadhouse' but we didnt find it, and were hungry by then
had a really lovely meal, everyone happy!!
Kerrie Andy and Bradley spent the day at Magic Kingdom, werent very impressed as they queued for rides for over 30 mins with a young toddler!!

enede our day with a wander around walmart again!! well we needed water!!! didnt we??????

i have tried and tried and cant do it, it might have something to do with being loaded onto disc in florida??? but they worked last year!!
any tips would be greatfully welcome!!

Great report Liesa. Not boring at all.

Can't give any advice on how to upload your photos other than what Julie states!! I do it this way by putting them on my desk top, then copy and paste!!

Keep the reports coming!

TUESDAY 4TH OCTOBER



lazy start today, went to ponderosa for breakfast! changed Kerrie and Andy's car as it had massive water leak and the smell of stale water was getting to them
went off shopping to premium outlets (didnt really do it all in walmart) and then onto buena vista outlets, they had a new Gap shop with a grand opening so we had to look and spend didnt we!!!
went in the pool today had a great splash about with the kids, nice temp altho wouldve liked a bit warmer for my joints!!

went back to walmart as Russ saw some new bedding he liked so we had to buy it!!!


WEDNESDAY 5TH OCTOBER
having a chill day ....... again.....
went dolls house shopping again, got so many bits and pieces now....so much fabric i bought so cheaply in walmart as well, going to try and make some of my own things!!

went to TGI'S for dinner, service was absolute rubbish, we went to the not so popular one down near medieval, we usally go to the one down the 192 i think, where you have to wait for ages to get a table, but its worth the wait!!
had bad belly tonight think it was because i ate pudding!! first time this holiday.....
spoke to Lynne (jadehouse) for absolutely ages, shes so lovely!!! much to talk about!!!


THURSDAY 6TH OCTOBER

went to flea market looked for Kaz's mascara hopefully found the right one,
kids ate burger king today, i just had a ceaser salad,

the ex villa owner came around to visit us lovely people,
went down Tricias and Daves villa, then went out for dinner, so funny Tricia tried to get us to go to "ROADHOUSE" but thought it was Longhorns, took us well out of the way, so turned around at the dead end, and drove down to what she thought was the one she was looking for, stupiud woman agreed with Tricia about throwing monkey nuts on the floor, (they didnt do it but humoured Tricia ) which was silly, we did have a lovely meal, but the silly server should have told the truth!!!
Thankyou to Tricia and Dave for treating us to a wonderful meal tho!!! had a great evening, theyre great people with a great sense of humour, our kids all thought they were brilliant too!!

finshed up by going to walmart again and got a small christmas tree and seperate lights for mine and Laurens dolls house,
Tricia had me a Russ in stitches, hysterical wont go into but all i can say is pyjamas!!
we dropped them off at their villa, and as we were leaving we saw a baby dear run out in front of us not 3 doors from Tricias villa, then another, then we saw the mummy one frozen in the garden staring at us, so lovely!! like a christmas scene!! no we didnt hit them!!![msneek]


FRIDAY 7TH OCTOBER
Steve went off to Universal with Kerrie Andy and Bradley, i was having a body ache!!! joints and headache so i stayed home and the kids didnt fancy it, we just chilled quietly by the pool,
i decided to drive out of the Resort turn right then straight down the Oren Brown road and come to Walmart!! easy peasy this driving in florida!!!
went back to the clubhouse to see who was in here (OV) and saw a nasty incident a man almost drowned in the pool, they had paramedics and all sorts there, a guy had saved his life by jumping in the pool fully clothed and got him out, did CPR and off he went coughing and spluttering (if anyone knows of this and knows the chap, i'd like to know if he is ok now?)

Went to Roadhouse the best place in our opinion so far, food great, service even better, so friendly and helpful!!
went back to walmart got even more fabric for dolls house, and was hoping to meet with Tricia and Dave but Tricia wasnt feeling so good, very disappointed, but we will have breakfast all going well in the morning as they are going home

SATURDAY 8TH OCTOBER
had a nice dip in the pool on my own at 8am, knee hurting quite a bit last night, Bradley was enjoying a saturday morning lie in, watching Barney on DVD in the bedroom, hes such an angel!!!
Tricia and Dave are off today so we're going to finds somewhere for breakfast, IHOP, fully packed, and perkins was full, the we found the waffle house, not my cup of tea

Hi Liesa,

I am sooooooooooo honoured at being mentioned in your report. Glad you were able to get around and spend, spend, spend.[msnwink]

I don't know why the mascara you got for me is the only one that makes my eyelashes look longer[V] but I am coming to the end of the the fourth one I brought back this year, so I am desperate.

Thank you so much:D:D:D:D:D

Love Kaz

ps. next bit on report pls.[clap]

will put them in the post tomorrow Kaz, all wrapped up and ready to go!!! i got you 8 just hope theyre the right ones!!!!
let me know when you receive them!![msnwink]

Looking forward to the photos Liesa :)

Glad to read you enjoyed some meals out...

Must try the ice creams - seen this place a few times but never tried it..

Hope Walmart will have restocked for my visit [msnsmile2]

Great report Liesa, I hope the person in the pool is OK!

this seems to have lots of things and i think they will have victorian bits, maybe email them???
ever so helpful people!! Joe and Carol

Last I heard, the lad that was pulled from the pool was OK.
The guy that jumped in and pulled him out was Peter from the Club house / resort management and the guy that gave the lad CPR was a guest who was by the pool. Heroes, both of them

Enjoying your report Liesa[clap] must try this icecream when we go.
