QUICK!! if you have disabled kids and was going to a farm where the carer goes in free

[SparklyGothKat]

how do you prove it?? DS will be in his wheelchair, so thats easy but DD1 will be walking. quick!!

i love the way people are so apologetic when I ask if they have consesions for disabled. and they say oh no the carer goes free.......this always saves more.

I always try and get the best deal for everyone including disabled, huge families and pensioners, (well if they are nice to me ).

carer goes free at whipsnade. dont know if thats any help to anyone.

amd howletts and drusilas

At brostol Zoo, DS1 and I both got a discount- and when she realised the cashier very hel;pfully went through all possible permutations of carers / family / student etc she could to work out the lowest fee she could.

But Drusillas is a bit of a con I find. If four of us go, and I get ds and myself in as 'long-term disabled' and 'carer' (as it says on the price list), then I pay individually for dh and dd, we save a grand total of 40p on a 'family of four' ticket! Hardly worth all the hassle of explaining to the ticket lady.

pixel when are we going to meet?

2shoes, are you asking me out?

I don't know, we should be able to sort something out shouldn't we (in our busy schedules ). Do you mean with dcs or without? We could meet somewhere for a coffee while they are at school.

I have an ICount card for my dd. You get it if your child is on the disability register and most places take it. Saves all the hassle.

oh pixel no dc's just us
mine are 11 and 15 so a nightmare

We'll wait until after easter hols then shall we? You'll recognise me,I'll be the one who looks like an easter egg (not that I like them or anything ).

Frascati, what's and Icount card? I've just had a quick google and didn't see anything. Is it a nationwide thing or local to you? We have a local one called a compass card which lets us have free swimming and cheap cinema tickets, just wondered if it was similar to that.

never heard of ICount

pixel come tohere the next meet up pretty please

Pixel ~ I think the name varies depending on where you live.

Thanks Frascati, looks like I live in the wrong area for that then. As I say we have the compass card but I don't think it is widely recognised. I only use it for swimming where it gets 5 of us in for free, friends or family which is really useful, also for Odeon SN cinema club but I don't know of anywhere else I can use it. It's due to be renewed in september, perhaps I will remember to ask then!

2Shoes, thanks but not sure if I'm brave enough for proper group meet-up. I've been on one before and felt like a bit of a twit because I didn't know what to say and had to leave early anyway .

oh please come. i AM STILL NEW TO THEM BUT EVERYONE IS REALLY FRIENDLY

ooh Pixel yeah come to the meet up.

im a newbie'ish too and they are all lovely i promise...im a complete whimp so you can hide in front of me.

we can meet you before so you don't have to walk in alone(mazon and I always do that as we are cowards)

Weeell...thinking about it . Isn't the 29th a Sunday though? Might be a bit awkward.

yes it is but you HAVE to come
