Hello. I've been lurking for a while on this board.

Is everybody in Charlesland in a couple?

Seems so... oh well hello anyway. I'm a single parent, working full time, been here a year and know nobody at all in Charlesland which needs to change!

How many post on this board - is it just a few regulars or a fair sized group?

Manus

Absolutely not cheeky chops lots of singles in Charlesland, well there is in the Court maybe its just me but alot of people seem very standoffish in general in Charlesland. Some people think they have stepped up a level on the social scale just because they live in Greystones. As a local i would notice this a bit more than others. (Not Bragging OK) . Greystones has a darker underside just like anywhere. Rant over:D

Hi Everyone,

I will be joining the charlesland gang hopefully in the next few weeks. Am moving into the park. Snag list is very long so depends how long that takes! This is a great board have discovered lots of usefull things! Anyone else out there snagging at the moment?

Tanith

Hi millie me,

Supposed to be receiving snag letter this week - Can't believe I'm saying that, thought it would never come! Disheartened to hear your snag list is so long
Doesn't inspire me that we'll be in at the end of the month like I hoped.
Lets just hope they are quick at turning things around! Good Luck with yours!

Pasc

Hi Millie me & Tanith,

Our snag list was like 'war and peace', and they have been working through it for the past 3 weeks, though we are starting to see the light now.

Pasc.

Tanith

We have our first snag tomorrow - bang on time so I am impressed from the outset I will let ye guys know how I get on ... least you're nearly there Pasc!

AshBy

Hi everyone, I'll be moving into one of the final 3 bed duplexes in November (snagging letter expected first week in Oct). Getting more excited by the day!

I heard about the board from a workmate in June and have been an observer since then. You've been a mine of information to me over the past few months. I've quite a list of things for the snagger to look out for. Thank you all!

Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Take care,
Aisling

Did a final snag on sat. Big problem with drainage at the back of the house! The builder said it was on their to do list... would drainage not normally be done first? My solicitor said it is ok to close without it as long as we have commitment in writing that it will be done. As it effects everyone on the road I was just wondering what others are doing? Other than that I cannot wait to move in...

Also I am selling a black leather 3 seater and two seater sofa if anyone is interested. Only bought it last year but I have been given a present of a new sofa. If you or anyone else is interested I will be sticking the ad up in the local shops... or post a repy and we can work out something:)

Welcome along... To answer your questions:

Danns, which is part of the Beach House, is a good spot for a beer. I personally don't like the Beach House itself, but some do. Each to their own.

I don't think there are any cool Greystonians (I'll take cover now!).

Having lived in the Burnaby and in Charlesland, I'd say it's much of a muchness. Depends on what you like!

I don't know any Donegal folk in Greystones, but I do know a couple of them working and living in Dublin. You're best not to use the word "blow-in" around these parts. It's a very emotive topic!

To add this (or any) page to your favourites simply press Ctrl+D (assuming you're using Internet Explorer).

Have a browse through the threads and you'll find pub and restaurant reviews amongst other things. Feel free to join in any of the activities organised by the boardsies too. You don't need to be from Charlesand to be part of it!

Hi All! Moved into Seabourne earlier in the year. This is a great forum. Keep it up!

Yes, I am a langer

Hi there! My boyfriend and I moved into the Park in May and couldn't be happier (aside from the odd rant such as the fact that you can't get a proper double bed into the so-called master bedroom!).

Loving this thread and all the useful information. Thanks all!

Hi everyone. I must be one of the first Charlesland residents? Moved to Charlesland Wood in July 2004 with my husband and two kids, now aged 4 and 2. Love living in Charlesland.

Who is the first in actually? Wifey and I moved in the week of our wedding, so that's about 20th June 2004. When we got the keys the week before that again, there was no water or electricity, so we just fixed up the house for the first few days.

Welcome to Boards, ADK.

That would be Charlesland Wood. First houses were all sold off the plans.
Took a while before the showhouse was opened as there were delays with the roads etc. which in turn meant that even the builders changed for the wood.

In the wood myself and bought on the first week of release...

Hi all,

Just thought I'd say hello - Moving into the back row in the park in the next few months...lucky us - 8 concrete steps up to the door and a 15 foot wall in the backgarden :eek:

Heard the snag letters are going out in 3 weeks time, I was up there last week and had a look, its coming along but they seem to be way behind.

Gwenneh

Hello!

My husband and I are moving to Charlesland on Saturday, we're pretty excited about it. I came across this forum completely by accident, so...hello!

gomarinago

Just saying hello heard about this the other night in the pub.Have lived in the area for 15 years and its nice to see more blow ins like myself welcome all of you and I hope you will support the fabulous development that is proposed for the Harbour that should enhance all our lives and provide new housing to bring more new people like us to the area and allow them to share the experience that is Greystones;)

Maisy

Moved into the Park in September, just me, myself and I - well actually, apologies to my canine companion, does he count as a resident ?!! Loving it here so far...;)
