Marillion Week End Room Mates (weight loss)

The Marillion Week End team emailed me the names of my Room Mates a little while ago and today I got an email from one of my room mates, she's from Italy and from what I understand she will also be there on her own, so that is fantastic, my Italian is non existant but her English seems great so that's a relief. I know I shouldn't be wishing my time away but just thinking about it makes me so excited.



Helping me with the time is my weight loss programme, I really wanted to be two kg's lighter than my ideal weight (IMO) for this trip reason being, if I was two kg's lighter I'd have two kg's to play with as far as what I eat is concerned, so I've been dieting since 29 Jan and so far I have managed to lose 5.7 kgs I am so happy about that, of course my friends think I am a freak as none of them lose weight as quickly as I do but I have a great metabolism, which I cannot deny, my metabolism rocks. Any way :O) I am so happy at the moment. Things are looking up.

Update

Well last night the exchange rate dropped to R12,91 to the Euro so this morning I booked my hotel. Unfortunately the hotel only takes a very small deposit, which means I have to still pay them when I arrive, I prefer paying everything upfront but I guess I will have to let that compulsion go this time.

So any way I've booked my hotel in Ireland :O)

A Place to stay

So I have decided that my hotel in Ireland is going to be, The Castle Hotel in Dublin. It's an 1809 historical building and if I am lucky it doesn't have any ghosts. I was browsing the available options and although there was a Travel Lodge and a few big hotel chains that were cheaper but didn't have a feeling or the atmosphere that I really want, if I am going to be in Ireland the oldest hotel in Dublin will do nicely for me. Here is a link to the hotel http://www.thecastlehotelgroup.com/castle-hotel-page.html

I hope to book my room soon I am just playing around with the exchange rate a bit first. This is really getting exciting :O)

Just an update

well there is no updates. My trip is still on but I haven't booked my Ireland hotel yet. All my flights were already booked when, I started this blog. I am looking for activities to do in London though so if there are any readers out there with ideas let me know. I was thinking of doing a photo shoot in London, I need some updated photos of me, and it might actually be cheaper than having them done locally, but I'll keep you all updated, once there is an update :O) Leeza
