Right in the centre of the capital Rhondda - although originally from Pembrokeshire. How about you?

Myself and partner had a wonderful time on Saturday and it was really great meeting some people that post on here.

As newbies we felt most welcome and look forward to meeting you all again.

Sorry I didn't get to chat much with you on Saturday, but it was lovely to see you both and hope you can make the next one, which hopefully, will be a BBQ somewhere in the summer.

Also changed my post from Friday to Saturday - whoops!

Thanks, once the music started it was much harder to talk anyway and we needed to exercise those dancing feet!

I never even noticed!

Have to say that I didn't get up and dance, but I was wearing heels and terrified of falling off them![:D]

It was lovely to meet you, I didn't mix as much as I should have done so hope none of you think I was being ignorant, I wasn't and normally talk for England!

Good to see everybody seemed to have a good time. Still gutted i missed it, but that said, Singapore was absolutely awesome [:p]
temperature never dropped below 30 (even when it rained)[8D]. We stayed at the Swissotel Stamford and that was very plush indeed. Done the Singapore sling thing at Raffles hotel which was adjacent to us[^]
Indeed, it's fair to say we frequented most off the bars and establishments whilst we were there-not quite sure what happened to the work ethic! Never mind, no-one seemed to notice us kicking our eyeballs along when we were working[:)]
An expensive place and have to say, glad i was armed with a company credit card which did indeed take a hammering[:o)]
Lovely people and very friendly. Back to the grind now and back to the real world[:(]

Glad you had a good time zim zim.

You did indeed miss a wonderful night on Saturday although the driving conditions wouldn't have been good for you.

We're looking at doing a BBQ in the summer (location not sorted yet) so hopefully you can make it to that.

Are you on Facebook? If so, add me as a Frugal Friend and I'll do the same. Both ladyh and I took some photo's and they are on there, so if you want to look at them and you are down as our friends, then you would be able to see them.

Of course! Goes without saying.

It's a case of finding somewhere with cheap accommodation within walking distance and somewhere with BBQ facilities!

I'd offer our house but we might not be able to fit everyone in and the nearest hotel is a taxi ride away, so not good!

Melanie has the use of bus and marquee so its a case of finding somewhere to park up and have a BBQ.....we'll all have to get our thinking caps on.
