Just wondering, if any CAG-ers in the South Wales ares would fancy a meet up, realistically now it would be after Christmas, but if we are super organised, we might be able to meet up before?

I'm in Gwent and have good links to Cardiff, Newport & Swansea, was wondering as the last meet was Cardiff based, can anyone suggest an alternative for those who may not be able to make it to Cardiff. I was sort of thinking Merthyr or Bridgend?

Sign on here for when you're about and where you could get to and we'll try to organise something....

I'm in Bristol, so Cardiff or Swansea for me. And will have to be after xmas.

would love to meet up

Thanks Yohe and Gizmo

I have had few responses to this thus far so, logically a meet will be in January, possibly February.

I will PM people who went to the original CAG South Wales meet up earliest this year to see if some interest can be rallied.

If anyone is worried about meeting up, no-one will disclose your identity on this site and no pictures will be published on the internet without full consent, I know this was a worried previously.

This is a possibility for me - I'd like to be kept in the loop please.

Its a small world.

We know a few from up that end, Abersychan, Blaenavon and so on.

It certainly is!!!

Abersychan isnt far from me at all im abit closer to you than that though and I used to work in Blaenavon until recently

lol defo small world.........

Wales have gone so bad for employment hasn't it? Nothing much about at all.

I hope you did not lose your job hun.

Its absolutely awful isnt it No thankfully i didnt lose my job i left due to circumstances of the place being a nightmare and me being pregnant left at just the right time as well as there is now no one there from when I was!

Very bad indeed.

My hubby worked at a steel plant for many years until it suddenly closed down jsut days before xmas almost 2 years ago, he had been in and out of contract short term work and now out again, a worry with a mortgage to pay for as well.

My youngest who is 14 has special needs, I care for him full time, my oldest was 21 last week, times have been difficult but getting through it.

Awe, hope your well, is this going to be your first baby?

It is a worry isnt it

My husband worked in a restuarant for about 8 yrs straight left to go to a higher paid job in another restuarant with better prospect and after being falsely accused of sexual harrassment (girl well known for it but as he was on probation his boss said walk or they will sack u anyway) he was redundant then moved to yet another restuarant where he was basically bullied by the boss as he took an instant dislike to him he was pushed into resigning so it was a hard few months on top of the cr@p i was having in work and being pregnant as well wasnt fun! but hes in a fab job now (not far from you in fact lol) and im in process of being a childminder so fingers crossed things are on the up!

sounds like you have your hands full i hear kids get more trouble as they get older im so not looking forward to that lol I have a daughter who is 5, Son who is 3 and my baby boy is 14wks old

Sorry I did not get back to you earlier hun.

Blimey you and your family been through the wars then.........sorry to hear that hun.

Fingers crossed everything will get better for you all now, good luck.

And also good luck with the childminding as well, a very demanding but rewarding job.

I used to work at Llanfrechfa Grange, loved it, but with my son with special needs, he has Aspergers sydrome and anxiety disorders, he only sleeps for about 3 hours per night, its hard going but his GP and child specialist does not agree with giving him medication, mind you I don't like the sound of giving him meds for this either he is also asthmatic, so obviously a little wary with giving other meds.

Lol you can say that again lol, my oldest he was 21 last week, he used to work for the DWP, he is waiting for a perm position to come up now, fingers crossed, but can't keep him in, but at that age what can we do, its a worry with all trouble at night clubs isn't it?

Awe so you have a few little uns then, there's lovely..

My hubby has his name down here and there with jobs, manufacturing wise though, not a lot about is there?

Good luck to you all and your family.

Thank you for the friend request as well, not used to doing this stuff on here yet, but will get there.

Catch you later.

No worries im always around

Nightmare isnt it but only way is up
