Hi all

Still bogged down with form filling for the course and various other things going on.

Lampeter was good, son really liked the style and feel of the uni and is thinking of applying to study Archaeology there. Downside was hubby's sat nav took us down all the A roads which meant it took about 6 hours to get there, down country roads you could only get one car down and in the dark that wan't much fun!
However the scenery was spectacular, driving through Monmouth, Abergavenny, Ross on Wye and Gloucester - did I mention it took us the long way round!

The guesthouse was an old vicarage that had been converted into Bed and Breakfast accomodation. The owners were less than helpful. To be fair, he was quite cheerful and accomodating, his wife though made us feel as though we were an inconvenience, probably not impressed that though I had paid for the accomodation in advance, I had requested an evening meal knowing we weren't getting there till late, so she served us a stew with boiled potatoes, a slice of apple pie (which son says had no apple in his piece) with cold custard and charged us £30 for it! I was mortified, did complain and then decided the earlier we would leave the better!!

Back at work this week which has been fraught and it feels like a long week despite it only being Wednesday - it is about to get worse, but can't blog about it right now! On top of it all the car packed up on my yesterday, drove it from work to the shops round the corner from the house to send off a parcel and then turned the key in the car and nothing happened. Hubby came out and jumped started it, got home. This morning same thing happened again, nothing when I turned the key so had to take hubby's car to work (he has a van to take to his work so the car was spare). Spent £60 on a new battery which I can't afford, but at least the car works now, well fingers crossed it will work tomorrow!

Log on here today and lost a friend, haven't had time to check who, so if anyone has left in the last day or so I wish you luck.

Right back to the form filling and trying to sort out our manic life!

Have a good evening:))
