That's sensible Frozzie. How are things going with your dad? Are the kids settling into their new life ok?
That's a while now that you have been living with your foks. How's the job hunt coming along?

We spend all our time downstairs by ourselves hoping to get a break soon.. The kids have school and kindy so that's good for them..

Oh no Frozzie what a shame. I guess at least you have downstairs to yourselves but still not good. Fingers crossed things will change for you soon. Good to hear the kids are settling in and things will only get better when you ave your own home. Sydney sounds good  :)
Look forward to meeting you if you come to Adelaide  :)

Amy, do I put you down for a single room for 3 nights?

Frozzie, I hope everything works out and you can come to the retreat.

Not just yet Judy. I PM'd Uni about sharing with her and she was going to check out if the place was still available. I'm waiting to hear :)
If it isn't still available then yes I will need a room ;)

Okay, my lovelies!
Here is the link to our rate at Crowne Plaza. Paste it into your browsers and it will take you direct to the booking page with our special price.  Just remember - there is a $25 surcharge if you share a room.

https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_ei_new&eventID=10562763

Please come back here when you've booked so we can keep a count of how much business we are giving them.  The more nights we book, the more leverage I'll have for a dinner.

I have just booked a room for CC and myself.  Had a problem trying to book it through the link though as it wanted to give us a king size bed to share.  Now as much as I like CC, I'm sure she wouldn't want to sleep with me  ;D

For others wanting to share a room, this is what you need to do. Ring (08) 8206 8888, ignore all the instructions about pressing this number or that and stay on the line to speak to a person. Request to be transferred to 'in-house reservations'.  Here it was easy to explain to the lovely Bailey about our group booking and she arranged our room for me with 2 separate beds.

So CC we are booked in for 3 nights from Thurs 15th Aug, booking out on Sunday 18th August.  All up  (which includes the additional cost of $25 for breakfast for the second person) is $210 per night.  Bring your bathers, we might have to have a dip in that spa ;)
