Hey, it was our pleasure
I didn't really do anything though and your namesake was happy to do it. Glad you're so pleased with them. Next year they'll be even better

OK I now have to completely rehash my diary OS finally heard from the hospital and he is to have his op next Wednesday so the previous rearrangements will have to be unarranged and more rearrangements made :eek:
He has to be in hospital 8.30am Tuesday so I will have to go down Monday late afternoon after fostering panel which I will have to attend as the quorum is tight and spend the rest of the week there and somehow morph the arrangements into the weekend we are going away good job most of my christmas shopping is done and the rest I will finish in Cardiff which won't be a problem.
Just need to find somewhere to stay now that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg but is comfortable to stay for 5 nights
So tomorrow I will have to tie up lots of loose ends
I have just got in from the nativity play which was lovely but I am tired now as I have been out all day and I had a late night last night
I have the interview in the morning too and I must go and collect my Tesco direct order and clear OS bedroom which looks like Santa's grotto:eek:
We have our foster child this weekend and I have the pamper evening to attend too and decorations to put up so should be pretty hectic - so that's normal then:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

And you haven't said your weighloss has sneaked up again :beer::j:beer::j:beer::j
Well I think it has since I last looked0 -
And breathe DT.
Where in Cardiff do you want to stay. I stay in Sleeperz which is quite cheap, right next to the station and across the road from John Lewis. The staff are lovely there. I prefer to stay there when I can. I also stay in Future Inns in Cardiff Bay which is right next to the Red Dragon Centre. It is fairly cheap but there is also the Travelodge right next door to the Red Dragon Centre in Cardiff Bay. I usually stay in either of those if I am doing long days in the office and cant be bothered getting the bus back into town.Some days there aren't any trumpets, just lots of dragons. Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow -- Mary Anne Radmacher0 -

Yes it has :j:j I have had to cancel my next appointment at the clinic because of going to Cardiff so my next appointment is the 29th by which time I should have reached goal and they have given me the stuff for phase 4 so I can start that the moment I lose the last three pounds:):)And breathe DT.

I have stayed in the travelodge next to the dragon centre which is handy for somewhere to eat and the staff have always been nice. I have also stayed in the park inn not the one in town but the one out Llanedeyrn way and that has the best shower ever and has a swimming pool which I haven't used but would be useful to get this last three pounds off. I will look at your suggestions and see how the prices compare :T:T
Thank you

Oh is calm and very capable on the whole
He is a technophobe though and is a bit twitched that I am not going to be there to operate the powerpoint at his Christingle service next week so that is another thing I have to organise and then train someone up at church to work it as most of the congregation are old ladies over 80 there is not going to be a huge amount of volunteers but I do have a [STRIKE]mug[/STRIKE] kind reliable person in mind just hope they are available :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
