Wheelchair I used to stay there as a child and me and DH stayed there the night of our wedding but never anything with DC. The area is definitely better than where we are now, we’re in a town at the minute and there’s been quite a few low level crimes nearby but this is a little village and I know a lot of people there due to going as a child

NerosFiddle · 13/11/2018 19:49

Thank you for not forgetting me Mrs 😁. Yes, they're opening one in Longford, which is kind of in the middle of the country. They hope to be open for next summer but as of yet haven't released any dates.

WheelchairWoes · 13/11/2018 19:51

Mrs those photos are gorgeous! Wow!! We don't have anything that pretty to take photos of lol We did have some lovely trees this Autumn though. And yes call me Wheely or wheels I don't care too much haha I'm cutting most of your names down severely myself lol I might be a bit cheeky in calling you Mrs and that one lady Fluff haha Here's some Autumn trees for you all

Frangelico I'd definitely go make a weekend of it then! Our community we are in now is only a few blocks from our old home but it's so different. At the other place we were off of a busy street with lots of loud neighbors and I saw one get arrested even. Our new home is in a mobile home community and we're in a very lush culdesac and it's so quiet and lots of lovely people walking to and from. It's amazing how even just a few blocks is different

WheelchairWoes · 13/11/2018 19:52

It didn't attach my photos! Let me try that part again haha

WheelchairWoes · 13/11/2018 19:53

Never mind! MN hates me now. Maybe I should look into the app haha

Mrsmadevans · 13/11/2018 20:14

Nero, l could never forget you m'dear, the very idea Xmas Grin , that will be lovely for everyone to have a CP right in the heart where everyone can reach it Smile have had to investigate Longford now lol , it looks perfect with great transport links there . When can you book? Xmas Grin
Ah Wheely thank you so much , l will call you Wheely then if that is ok by you. Mrs is fine by me m'dear lol Xmas Grin
Don't talk to me about the app it is crud complete rubbish , l do what Fluffy told me to do she's marvellous Xmas Grinwell to be fair everyone is here and go on the browser to come here on my phone , it is nice for a change to have a few different emojis lol little things please little minds Xmas Grin

PhilomenaButterfly · 13/11/2018 20:20

Well done Fluffy you have yaself a bargain and a half there m'dear!

NerosFiddle · 13/11/2018 20:42

Fluffy I'm so jealous of your stash.

Mrs we were supposed to be able to book from November but I don't see that happening now. We're going to the one in Windermere in though.

I'm trying to do a Tesco order and the minute but keep getting side tracked. Anyone recommend slow cooker dishes that don't cost a fortune?

WreckTangled · 13/11/2018 20:44

Neros we had beef casserole in the slow cooker tonight. Beef, carrots, celery, onion, stock, Worcestershire sauce, tomato purée (bay leaves and thyme optional). Even the dc like it.

NerosFiddle · 13/11/2018 20:46

That's sounds nice wreck with some mashed potatoes
