Say "Hello" here!

Eoin

Howdy folks,

This forum is getting a bit more traffic than I originally expected, so how about you say hello here so we can get an idea of how many people use this forum, and who is living where in Charlesland or Greystones (or soon to be).

To kick it off, me and herself are in the Grove since December.

the best line was taken already, so i'll just say hi instead..

Myself and the good wife moved into the Court last weekend..

the jeeps knackered, carpets aren't down, builders dust everywhere, and another 2 loads of crap, at least, to come down from the old house..

still, happy to be in...

howdy everyone!

Myself and my now fiance live in Charlesland Court, and have been there since July. Loving it, and will love it even more when they finish the green and resurface our road, which looks imminent!!

Looking forward to settling and finally visiting the script for bevvies.

Me and my bird moved into the Court just after Christmas. Usual teething problems, but now we just need new jobs to counteract the commuting problem
See you all soon

Ice Man

Hey all,

Moving into the Park on my tod sometime in the next month or two. Been told provisionally letters will be sent on 7 March but that is very subject to change. Progress on site looks good though!

Hope to meet up with everyone in the next couple of months.

Cheers

Matt

Moving into the Park by the end of the month. Hopefully! Probably one of Iceman's neighbours. If you spot a tall chap with spiky hair struggling to shift a couch through the door while his bird shouts directions from a safe distance, feel free to lend a hand!

Hi All,
Moved into the grove with other half last Oct. Been away for a while and was dumbfounded to see our very own site! (Albeit infiltrated by a few people who seem to have nothing better to do than moan about cland being in existance..)
Looking forward to meeting some/all of you.

Setun

I'll see you folks on the 84. Welcome to that-town-beside-Kilcoole

Think we might also be one of your neighbours. We are snagging next week.
Moving into the Park, 2 bed apt, with other half, we're both from Newcastle, England.

You're not Mrs Souness by any chance?

loyatemu

living in the Grove, but originally from Greystones also, so I'm both a blow-in and a local.

I really like Charlesland, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOMEBODY OPEN THE PUB!!!

Jaynie

Hi All,

I've just moved into the Wood last week with my nearly 2 year old son. Love it so far, we are in one of the 2 bed town houses. Loving it so far!

dublingirl

Hi there everyone

Moving into the Park on my tod real soon so looking forward to meeting people. Just finished snagging last week so hope to do the final inspection at the end of this week. Is it just me or does the hall door not lock automatically when you close it - do you have to use the key the whole time??

Mr Posh

Me and Mrs. Posh will be moving in the Park in May, having read all your posts I am expecting the unexpected!!

eleMental

hi everyone
been living on my lonesome in the grove since last june....originally from bray so a sort-of loacl.....all's going really well so far, though would be great to be able to get wireless broadband for cheaper than €40 per month!!!!

Do_nal

Hey all,

moving into the Park in the next couple of months with the other half (known on here as SJ!)
Can't wait to move in now, love the place. Hope to meet you all soon.

Yep, you have to lock it everytime. It's good though cos it stops me locking myself out!

We weren't allowed install a well. Went for a spare bedroom instead.

Hi all ---been in the wood since oct 04.Great to have this thread discovered it a few months back have a few days off just started using it.

:cool: This is my virgin post, so hi to all.

Looks like my wife and I will be about one of the last to move into Charlesland Park, as we have only just put down our deposit on one of the type B properties (3 bedroom mid terrace townhouse).

I have been following the threads thus far, and it looks as though Charlesland is a pretty good place to live, although a few more pubs would not be a bad idea.

Well done Eoin on the thread.

Welcome Pasc, the forum was a must-have really, this started off as just one big thread - was a nightmare to navigate!

MyPerfectCousin

We put our deposit down in September for the Park (4-bed) and were told June for move-in, so imagine my surprise when I heard they have changed that to March! All the other stories here indicated a 6 to 12 month delay!

Anyway, I'm a double blow-in (foreigner) but have been living in Greystones for six years and will be moving into Charlesland with a full crew. We will be the oddballs with teenage children and a cool little dog.

Mr Posh

Easy Tiger no need for that!!!!

Bit of respect wouldn’t go a miss

If it bothers you that much don't both coming on the site let alone posting messages!!!!!

This forum is hosted by boards.ie, so you have to play by their rules. Personal abuse is not accepted on any forum and won't be here either.

Mystery banned from this forum for a week.

Bláth

Hi

I moved into the Grove in December and I love it although I really wish we had a local pub!! It's a great forum by the way - unfortunately as i don't yet have laptop or internet yet I can't drop in as often as i'd like to. New sofa or laptop?????

I'd love to go to the next night out being organised but to be honest - would feel like a plonker walking into a pub alone looking for a table of people i have never met!! Will just have to take a breath and do it ( :eek: )

Hats off to you all for keeping the momentum up on the forum - and don't mind rudies like mystery - I think he's jealous?!?!!?

JanneG

Suppose I should say hi as well... Tend to look at the threads more than giving any actual input... :rolleyes:

Just like Bertie me and the wtb have been living in the Wood since October '04. Hard to believe that it's been that long already. Been quite interesting seeing the rest of the developments appearing as time has gone by though.

As alot of people have already mentioned the pub would be very much welcomed... Feels so far to walk up to Script or even further when it's windy or even raining

Now I'm just looking forward to the 2nd summer down here...

Can't wait for that either. It may have been mentioned here earlier (and probably where I got this info from), but apparently the developers were looking for a massive amount of cash per year for the lease on the pub, plus they had it capped at a 4 year lease - that's why nobody will touch it. Hopefully they will get sick of an empty building that's not making them any money and re-consider the terms.

lastsaturday

mystery just sounds like another angry bored teenager. (sigh)

Plenty

Hiya!

I thought I'd give my 2 cents. Have been in Charlesland Wood since Sept '04 and love it! Since the M50 opened in July, it is much more accessible to travel and cuts the travel time to less than 30 mins (if travelling to Dun Loaghaire) and 40 mins (if travelling to Tallaght).

Wonder what is gonna happen with the N11 exit at Eden gate? I heard they can't open it as a Farmer buried chemical waste on the land (or nearby) which has delayed this link for nearly forever!:rolleyes:

Robertr

Hello to all my neighbors. If you need to borroe some sugar just let me know. Me an my gf have been in the Grove since August and loving every bit so far!!

neets

We moved into the Grove around August too. Don't know anyone out here so dying to make a few new buddies. Never seem to get the chance to meet people - the curse of commuting. Was thinking come the good weather we could organise some kind of a social thing on the green in front of the houses. A BBQ or something. Was going to drop a few notes into letterboxes to see if anyone was interested but then thought...mmm people might think I'm some kind of nutter!!

Anyone else out there into the idea?

Yep! We were thinking of doing the same thing. In the grove as well and in the same boat as you re commuting, not being neighbourly enough, etc.

Anyone else in?

Hi all, moved in just before christmas, finding this board a great help.

Wineman

Hey there neighbours,
myself, the wife and two sprogs here since September, moved from the mean streets of Ballybrack, so this place feels like another world. Cant wait for the summer, Greystones takes on a life of its own then. Big Green BBQ sounds like a great idea....maybe some bouncy castles to keep the monsters occupied.:)

clare kinito

hi - myself and hubby and daughter who is nearly three moved here oct 2004. only heard of this site today. is there a general chat area??? hopefully chat soon.
