Hi,

We used to have an apartment in Heath Square on Margaret's Road for awhile. Must admit I miss the superquinn sausages!! Actually just miss Superquinn full stop. Back in Cork for the past few years and we don't have superquinn here!! we are heading to Melbourne as soon as the visa arrives hopefully by April May at the latest.

Re: FINGLAS

Re: FINGLAS
 

Thanks Sandra.

Needless to say it has been hectic here the last few weeks. We head to Adamstown for two days Friday and Saturday this week to visit with family so if I get the chance will phone you and we can meet up.

Trish

Re: FINGLAS
 

I bet it has I am trying to throw things out here and I swear there is more getting brought in to replace what I'm getting rid of. Will look forward to meeting you if you get the chance.

Hey Mairead

I am a baker there so you will know where to go if you want some decent bread and i will see what i can do about some sausages :rofl:

Re: FINGLAS
 

You probably should have put a capital C in Cavan - when I read it first I read "caravan"

- and this thread is about Finglas...:lol:

big.

Re: FINGLAS

Re: FINGLAS
 

Good Luck everyone.
We are living in Swords not too far away from ya over there in Finglas. Mairead is right the sausages are delicious. The breads are great too.
Keep up the good work over there.
We hope to be arriving in Melbourne next april/may time if all goes to plan.
Counting down the days!!!
There seems to be a lot of us heading over.

Re: FINGLAS
 

Wow! 8 days Trish!! It all happened so fast didn't it. Will be joining you soon, enjoy christmas there and have a great summer. Hope to see you soon.
Good luck to all your family in your new life and stay in touch.

Re: FINGLAS
 

Hi Yvonne
Didn't think you still came on this. I swear to god as I'm throwing things out there bringing more stuff in. Guess who is to blame, the bloody big baby, he is worse than the kids. Had to put the decos up early for the kids but they have been warned they will be coming down straight after Christmas. Hope you have a great Christmas, will probably talk to you on the Skype before then.
See you soon

Sandra

Re: FINGLAS
 

Hi Sandra your only down the road from me im in Newcastle and yea this weather and (all the road works) is driving me mad as well :D

Niamh

Re: FINGLAS
 

Hi Niamh
Its amazing to discover how close you are to people you have chatting to on this. Don't talk about roadworks everywhere you go is the same. How are you getting on with everything. Any idea when you will be leaving this cold miserable place.
My BIL used to live in Newcastle now lives in Athgoe, I have always thought it to be a lovely area but has changed so much in the last couple of years.

Sandra

Re: FINGLAS
 

Now it really is a small world i live on athgoe hill as well :D Newcastle has changed so much it wont be long before its as big as lucan or clondalkin mental . not sure i like all the changes some of the houses are horrible nice if we had our own chipper though not that i really care any more ;)
we are planning on being on a plane out of here in June (every thing is crossed for that ) as we are still waiting on our visa we haven't done the medicals yet planning on doing them in January so i might be a bit optimistic that we will have it back in time. if not then it will probably be September as the fights go up the end of june and come down in September.


nice to see so many Irish here doing the same:thumbsup:

Re: FINGLAS
 

Hi all

Always said I'd begone before the Adamstown/N4 road works start, thank god I was, mam just arrived for Christmas and said roads around Newcastle/Lucan N4 are going to be mad!!!!

Happy Christmas to you all

Storms :p

Re: FINGLAS
 

Hey Guys,

I'm from Cedarwood Rise - technically its Glasnevin - but sure Glasnevin/Finglas its all the one! Been living in Brisbane for the past year and a half - although i was back in Ireland in September and it made me realise that i made the right decision in heading over here! Never realised how grey Dublin was until i was back - thats not being negative or anything - just everything is a bit brighter over here in Brissy - probably to do with all the Sun! Not having to worry about drought / water restrictions and being able to have a shower without looking at the bloody timer was a bonus though - not to mention all the decent food and chocolate again. After i seen family and friends i was ready to head back to oz though!

Re: FINGLAS
 

Hi San, yeah don't post much on this anymore I only go on the forums when I am bored or kids asleep.... (that's no reflection on this site by the way). Can't wait for you guys to come over, how are the kids I bet there all excited and dave he's probably worse than the kids...

Its funny to think that about 1 year ago you were standing in our house asking for advice on all of this and it won't be long now until your here!

Jack finishes year 1 tomorrow, he is so excited about going into year 2 next year. Taylor starts kindy in February bless her she is so excited to start, it will be great for her cause she's lost for a few friends.

Listen i'll talk to you on skype b4 xmas.

Everyone else who's waiting or already here have good one!

Re: FINGLAS
 

I'm from Citywest. Planning on Perth next year. Only the major stress of trying to sell my house in the current market to contend with. Its typical that when I decide to go the housing market goes to sh*t. Anyway best of luck and Merry last xmas in Ireland to you all. Hope to be in the Sun next Chrimbo.

Re: FINGLAS
 

Aren't you the lucky one, its not too bad at the moment because there not fully open but I can imagine it when they are. Should be there in January.

Sandra

Re: FINGLAS
 

Know how you feel but thankfully we have gone Sale Agreed and hope to be completed in mid January.
Best of Luck and Merry Xmas to you and I will probably see you in Perth in the New Year.

Sandra
