London ho!

I had the most hectic day yesterday. Considering I spent 5 hours of it sitting on a train doing nothing, I didn't seem to stop all day. It didn't start off too badly though; my appointment at Charing Cross was at 3.30 and the train wasn't till 12 so I didn't have a mad rush round to get ready. I even had time to write a post before I left! I

It was good to see you yesterday, I'm just sorry I had to rush off so soon. I was pretty shattered myself when I got back to Ireland last night and I ended up waiting at the airport for nearly an hour cos my mum forgot she said she'd pick me up! I rang her and didn't get through so I assumed she was driving and couldn't answer the phone and I go a call a little while later saying she'd forgotten to keep an eye on the time and only just realised how late it was. I ended up having to pay 20 euros for a taxi home instead and it was after midnight by the time I got in!
Still I had a good weekend and a little tiredness at work seems a small price to pay really!
We should meet up again soon for a longer chat! *nudges you towards the Irish flights*

If you hadn't had to rush off then, I would have had to do soon after anyway. That's annoying about your mum forgetting to pick you up! Tsk. I hope she repaid your taxi fare at least.

You know, I was looking at the flights to Dublin a few weeks ago because I thought I could maybe have a long weekend there for my birthday. The cheapest flights were getting on for £100! Not going to happen at that price, I'm afraid :(

Did you look at the Aer Lingus site? not sure if they fly from your part of the country but if they do, 9 times out of 10 they're cheaper than Ryanair these days.

And no, no repaymentof taxi money was offered! :(

Yes, I did check Aer Lingus but they only fly from Blackpool seasonally, between March 28 and October 30. Even so, it's still around £100 in total with all the charges they add on :(
