I can now see why you got space all to yourselves in the sea..... I can see Aussies in their droves leaving the beach...

We went to a Welsh wedding a few years ago and the DJ's equipment went 'bang' in the middle of the reception so everyone spent the next 3 hours singing pop songs instead. Bloody good it was. Only in Wales eh??
Land of song!!!!

You will have to teach it to your daughter now!

In the Company I have just left they have a facilities day for clients at Xmas where they have guest speakers from places like the Leadership Trust and in the evening they go out for a meal! At the end of the meal they have singing contests on each table.... Problem is they all sing a different song and the end result is very messy.... As you say - only in Wales!!!

They had a male voice choir there this year though and harpist which was lovely

Chilled out! Just cooking dinner too but enjoying a glass of wine & listening to my new Genesis CD!

How about you?
Have you managed to sort out the on-line application yet?

I have been contemplating where I am going to stay after Thursday!

Hi both!

Yes thanks SC, I sorted the visa application out in the end. I just started a new application from scratch and it was fine.

Now just got to scan a million documents and we're all systems go!

Do you want to stay in the hotel Lau or would you rather move on?

I am always laid back!!! I don't know how to stress - what's the point.... What will be will be!

Also as it is New Year I can't do much until Weds anyhow!

I'd love to find something a bit more permanent and get the kids settled a bit - also not have to stress about them arguing at 6am

Well, stop enjoying yourself so much and find a flat!

There are 'apartment' hotels which have a kitchen and laundry in the 'room'. That would suit you better - you can have ones with several bedrooms. Don't know how much they cost though.

Believe me I am trying - New Year isn't the best time to look for accommodation though N
