Cardiff area mums/dads - can I CAT you?

43 replies

doggiewalker · 28/12/2004 21:43

So that I don't hijack any other threads (soz Kaz33), if there are any people out there from the Cardiff area (Judgeflounce I'll be CAT-ing you shortly!) may I CAT you in the near future to ask your advice about areas/schools etc? As you may/may not know there's a very real possibility that we may be having to relocate within the year.

TIA.

LOl jf. I really like the Welsh accent. We live quite near North Wales at the mo, dh even works at Deeside, and we've spent quite a lot of time at Bala, Porthmadog, Anglesey etc. We had a week near Cardigan, a place called Llangranog which was beautiful. The only places I've been to in the South are Tenby/Saundersfoot (beautiful round there) and a couple of days at Barry Island when I was a kid! Hope that area has cahnged. Can't say it made me want to rush back, but it was about 25 years ago!

Signing off now. Got to take ds2 to bed. He still likes me to read to him. Speak soon.

Thanks Bonymerryxmas. It's really good to know there are people down there who would be able to help.

TIA.

Hi JF. No, she doesn't, but she doesn't share my surname anyway. Don't tell me you know someone with the same surname!

Hi Judge I'm back and dh hijacked the PC. It's always a surprise to hear that someone has this name, as obviously it's quite unusual. You should know how to pronounce it then! My dh's father came here from Poland during the war, he fought for the allies, but remained here after the war, living in Bradford and marrying dh's mum. dh didn't see much of his dad as the marriage only lasted a few years, but luckily was able to meet up with him again after we were married and before he died, which was about a year after we were married. V. sad. We don't know much about the family on that side. It's probably a really common name in Poland.

Sorry to disappoint judge. I'm still a very nice person though and could look forward to a boozy new-union!

It does make you wonder whether there is some connection though doesn't it? DH and your friend might well be long lost relatives. I take it Marta was a good friend and Leon was her father?

OOh where to begin. I like the theatre although don't get to go very often. Love going to concerts. This year have been to see Chris Rea, Katie Melua, Bebel Gilberto (Latin-American singer), the Beautiful South and Busted (with ds1!). Love eating out, don't much like pubs these days, enjoy walking the dog but don't like exercise apart from that. Try to spend quality time with the boys, work as a Classroom Assistant now after years as a SAHM (v.badly paid but lets me take school holidays). Enjoy the movies or renting a good video. Pretty normal really. You?
