Saturday can be a funny day we exspect to be full & if where not its the end of the world.Yesterday we had a booking for a couple celebrating there 25th wedding aniversary, the husband rang in advance & asked if we could purchase 25 red roses on his behalf & put a bottle of champane on ice in for them. Phoned flower shop, £62 , Ohh my god I can't spend that sort of money, so off I went to good old M&S. 1/3 the price, we put them in beautiful silver paper & bought a gas Aniversary balloon. She was trilled. When they came down to dinner we put a card & celebration gas ballon & a box chocs for them. The lady hasn't been very well latly, everyone clapped, she was so over come. It made everyone happy for the evening. They go home to-morrow. Their family is arranging a dinner to morrow night. This morning at breakfast she said she felt like a young girl again. Its a loverly feeling seeing someone so happy. We think by the way she looks she's abit more than just unwell, & he knows it, pity cause they seem such a loverly couple. Last night something really funny happened, we have a middle aged couple in , she has a really pretty face & beautiful long blond hair, but is a bit on the big size. Vanessa Feltz type, get my gist. She comes down to breakfast this morning, bows & says to three of the chaps you lot got a eye full last night, their was some laughter & mummerings.Turns out she forgot which was the on siute & went out the rong door,locked her self out on the landing ,was banging & shouting for her husband to wake up & woke everyone else
instead. Anyway everyone thought it was very funny & she isn't a bit embaresst about it, thing was she did't have a stich on!! The new switch machine is still playing up, I've tried unplugging the computor, I really need to have another phone line put in.......

As I have not got the gist of finding my own blog yet I am not sure what I told you yesterday,anyway back to man with phone, says hes had a barny with girl friend, he'd like her to come & join him for a few days,David says Ok. man with phone stuffs more money into Davids hand for our trouble.Loverly man could do with more like him! Girl & car arrives, Looks like teastrainer with top removed by can opener. come & see he says isn't it beautiful bought that special he says,on closer inspection hood is stuck together with silver ducting tape,.Are you sure no one will try & pinch it he says, 'not a chance' says David returning to the
kitchen.... New streamline machine comes at last , we're back in bussiness. Two guests phoned at begining of week to remind me they would't be here till six & please would we book them dinner. Nine O'clock arrives no Bradsures, me thinking something has happened to them so I phone to check up, they are sitting watching Dalziel & Pasco, 'oh goddness' she says we forgot!!' husband has rung back with apologies , they are going to come to-morrow...... -
Snazzy car !!

The sun is shinning & its quite warm to-day.Got quite a few in tonite. Some musicians from the theatre, only trouble with that lot is they come in high as kites then want to drink all night long, then expect us to do breakfast at 11am.Some of them can be quite entertaining, the other guests enjoy their company, some wont talk to anybody!. We had this chap come to the door a few nights ago, David didn't really like the look of him but took him anyway, he's always on the phone saying he's got a good dael & a good package, I dread to think what he's selling. He seems to have plenty of money. The switch machine won't work, it's something to do with the new wireless we put in for the computor we think.
Man with phone asked if his girl friend could join him, paid for room again for our trouble !!. Must know we don't trust him.Anyway keeps on about girl friends car. Says its really spiecal is worried it might get stolen. In Llandudno, theirs no where for a jpy rider to go. Our car insuranc -

Its pouring down, has been for days,its keeping the visitors away thats for sure. The bookings are down for this time of year hope it picks up soon or we'll have to lay off some staff.The folk who are in seem to be enjoying them selves going up the Orme in the Old Tram car pity the ski lift is'nt working due to the heavy rain.The bookings are still coming in for July & August lets hope the sun starts shinning soon.Last summer we had a REALLY ARROGANT man & his fussy wife in for a week,they wore us out between their complaints & demands. Beside the 'why don't you & the do it like this 'is !!. Well, he rang up in March & asked for room 2, it had to be room 2 or not at all.The dates he wanted the room was taken, so he rang back a few weeks later again the room was booked out.He got abit stroppy, so he askes for two further dates,'' you can have room one ''I said,which is also a seafront loverly room. 'No only room 2 would do.'So he came into day -he did'nt believe me, he took great pleasure in telling us he had booked into somewhere else seeing as we couldn't find a bed for him. Met my neighbour in Asda this afternoon, she has just asked if our room 2 is avalible she has thia awful arragant couple she would like to pass on........

None acctually.We have a couple here for the week room only. They came in a campervan. its quite funny really they sleep here then go outside to their van & do their own cooking. Breakfast Dinner & tea!.We have a very quite chap who is here on his own for aweek, hes been down & had a full english breakfast for three days, to-night he's booked dinner, he's asked for fish because he's veggi, & if we don't mind could he have an omlett to-morrow if it is'nt too much trouble because he does't usually eat bacon & sausage.!! Uupps must go , the campervan has got a parking ticket for parking over night on the promenarde over night, the sign says no camping, I'll got to go & sort this out'..... -
Good morning Blog.
@ Sunday, 10. Jun, 2007 – 20:51:23
Here I am having decided I want to keep a Blog wondering what to write about first! I've never ever even kept a dairy, always in too much hurry to move on to the next thing. So reader (I hope) here goes. Lots of funny things happen in our day, David’s the one, he sits in the bar at night sitting on a stool with a gin in one hand, & until the no smoking laws, a cigarette in the other telling funny stories about our experiences just like Dave Allan. He has the guests splitting their sides. People often say we should write a book, so I thought James Herriot did it, so why don't I. Then I read about blogging, and though I'm not the most computer literate I thought I'd have a go! admittedly with a little help from my daughter.
My husband & I (sounds like the Royal family!) own a sea front Hotel in the North Wales resort of Llandudno.
I hail from Birkenhead, David from Grimsby. I fist visited Llandudno six years ago, accompanied by another man. We stayed at Davids B&B in the town. To be honest I didn't really like him very much at first. My two daughters actually liken him to Frank Butcher from Eastenders, perma-tanned with gold chains and a fag hanging out of his mouth. He turned out to have a heart of gold and extremely funny. We finally married three months ago on valentines day.
Last nights guests have all gone home, the child in room 8 wet the bed, Room 5 kept their neighbours awake and one of our single ladies had a visitor. Room 2 forgot to tell us they where vegetarian until David produced a full and I mean full English breakfast with, sausage, two slices of bacon ,egg,blackpudding, tomartoes, beans, hash browns,mushrooms and fried bread.Believe me they do it all the time.He was not best pleased.I am going to tell you all about Llandudno, our hotel and funny guests. I want to tell you about my daughters and other family members. I want to make you laugh I'll try not too make you cry, well not much anyway.I don,t know much about copyrite and my daughter tells me I must'nt use peoples real names. I would like you to switch me on like a soap.I've got to go shopping, bread,bin-linners everything to make a hotel tic.So bye for now til I wright again.......
