Here is a mini post. I have been very bad so far this year with my blog. I have hardly done any blogging.

Secret Pal
My SP is reading my blog quite often and I feel quite naughty at not having blogged as regular as I would have liked. It is just work has been so busy and I remarked to the partner I work for that is just seems to have gotten more and more busy since I started at the end of May last year.

I am just so looking forward to Brighton in February as it is going to be the first time since the New Years Day when I can do some properly bulk knitting. I think I'll be taking down baby patterns/yarns to knit with. I normally knit blanket squares when I am in transit but the train journey is going to be about 4 hours all told so I'll be making good use of the time. The only downside though for me for Brighhton is that I don't really know anybody there so I'll be lonely all on my ownsome. I wonder if I can get the hotel to house the cats!!

On that note I had made a reservation with a separate hotel via a link someone gave me. I rang the company up today citing the reference and saying that I wanted to cancel the booking. I had tried emailing them last night but the e-mail bounced back saying it was a non-valid e-mail address despite it being on their website. Anyway the reference on the printout from them was invalid, they did not hold any record of my booking. I then asked them to contact the hotel and double-check with them and as I have given approx 3 weeks notice if I was charged any penalty on my credit card I would be raising a complaint. Despite having given her all my details (name email address etc) she wanted to take my details. I promptly told her that the details I had given her she could use to contact me and that as I was off for a meeting calling me back would be no good. When I got back to my desk I had an e-mail saying that the hotel did not hold any reservation details for me. This led me to think what on earth would I have done had I got down there at 10pm on the Thursday night with nowhere to stay!!!
