What have you been doing today?

[gertbysea]

H you could always present them with a bill when they leave or just pop it into one of their suitcases with a note  saying this is how much you cost us for YOUR holiday.   They would certainly get the message then.

They admitted that they found food twice the price here than in the UK.

My family always freak out over food prices when they visit. I guess we are used to them.  I do notice how cheap food is when I go back to the US.

[gertbysea]

Sometimes food may be cheaper in the US but then you have to add local. state and Federal taxes in some cases.

The tax added at the register can be a trap. I think it is because they subsidize much of their agriculture. I mean turkey for 50 cents to $1/pound is ridiculous.

But at least you can get a real turkey and not an overgrown chicken. LOL!

How did they expect to survive here on their holiday if their food budget was blown so quickly? Did they buy any Easter choc?

Sorry I meant their shop yesterdays food for us was their 2 weeks food budget at home. They bought litte eggs made from that cheap nasty chocolate. They bought 1.5kg of rib eye, I said thats not enough so dh took him to the shops & he bought another one, he spent $80 on meat, that woukd have really upset him

1 more sleep, she is better when he is not around. I asked if e did ishes at home, apprarntly yes he is the best help ever.

I asked what sort of birthday gifts does she get from him, she said every birthday she gets a box of chocolates

They are making plans to return, I smile & say lots to see all over Aus

I more sleep Hally. You are doing great.

Love the bill idea Gert, but couldn't do it.

Not long now Hally. 

It would be silly for your cousins to return to Perth, they have already been here. As you say it is a big country and they should go elsewhere. Eg Ayers Rock. Then they will find out what expensive is.

Had another lovely day here in Margaret River.
Another long walk with the dogs and a beautiful lunch at Flutes on the verandah overlooking the lake.
Meeting friends in 20minutes at the wine bar. Poor dogs as they were so pleased to see us when we came home 15 minutes ago.
Looking forward to seeing all my kids and GK's tomorrow at this time😄
Hope everyone has had a good day

They want to go back to Perth because they get such great accommodation! ;-)

[Halex]

Yes they are just loving such a cheap holiday at my resort.
