You sorted hotel yet mate?

yeah m8 booked flight and accom. together, only £211 for me and mrs WelshMagic....... more £££ to spend out there, mind you, i think its a fairly basic hotel but you get what you pay for and i aint going for a luxury break, pmsl, its called the Hem hotel about 4km from centraal station, saying that, i've spent more on clothes to go already than the break cost pmsl

Well my work is really picking up, looks like i'm gonna have my house an grow up within a mont or so, an be able to afford to get myelf to amsterdam, and if not for the cannabis cup, hell, would be great just to be back there, and would be great to say hello to mr DST. Such an awesome city, want to go when it's sunny though, last time was jut torrential rain, would love to rent a bike and get fucked off my titties, and while accidents would naturally be incurred, just go exploring love the arhitecture.
