March Mums Meet

[tiggertea]

everything crossed!

 

[claire-lou]

Yes Debs and she'll be a bit older then should be easier to distract her a bit.

How much for a train, that's dreadful thought we were to be encouraged to use public transport

 

[tiggertea]

maybe we should all walk... that wud beat the bub-flub! (don't worry i was jokin....)

 

[Shifter]

I hope this doesn't prove to be too expensive for everybody.

Jade - Andy and I are looking into hiring a people carrier so that us and Deb_Baby can travel together with our LOs, it's probably still cheaper than taking two cars or Deb having to use public transport. Maybe that would be an option for you and Caz?

 

[tiggertea]

i'm gonna be so hacked off if i can't make it

 

[icculcaz]

£300 minimum.... that's any weekend in july.

thinkin it would be cheaper to fly and hire a car, but don't know how well that would work with a 4-5month old

norse irish ferry is that??

ouch! im lookin at just over £100 on the train return for us!

you should know booking early costs less

that is early char! i picked a random wkend in july for that price! ouchy!

 

[jms895]

Holly, yes Caz and us me could split costs and hire a people carrier!

Caz??

 

[tiggertea]

I'm gonna go to Pickie Park (a playpark place by the sea) and hire one of their swan pedalos..... if i leave now i might be there in time!

 

[jms895]

 

[icculcaz]

aye, how much would that cost? (not dun hire car rentally jobby in about 6 years... lol)

 

[jms895]

God knows depends how many days and who driving etc I would have thought?

 

[icculcaz]

well i cant drive....... i have buggy rage and am lethal on foot... not trusted behind wheel wheres a good place to get quotes?

 

[jms895]

Not sure mate, could try local rental places or rentacar? Google?

 

[Shifter]

LOL Debz!

Jade - try Enterprise. We hired a Ztec for a weekend in December and it was pretty good value, though I don't remember exactly what it cost.

 

[Phoenix]

I just had a look at Enterprise, and they were £160 for friday-monday (that's an over-25 rate), for a full-blown people carrier. Ford Galaxy, that sort of thing. 7 seats plus luggage space.

A mini-MPV (Zafira, S-Max) would be just under £125. That's give up to 7 seats, but would lose most of the luggage space with all 7.

 

[icculcaz]

had a thought.... if its a weekend when ky is with my ex.... im a kiddie down! woohoo

 

[Phoenix]

it'd only be a very short flight - about an hour i'd say, so hopefully entertaining her wouldn't be a prob

think i could be talked into this!

Hell, my sister is going to New York in September with her 3 year old and 11 month old. She also took the 3 year old to australia a couple of years ago, and managed ok. I'm sure you'll be fine for just 1 hour on a plane.

 

[tiggertea]

hehehe - but u haven't seen how much i pack for a weekend for ME, never mind a bub - think id need triple baggage allowance!

still very much an option though, its just getting over the "i can't travel light" mentality!

Suppose thats not too bad if halfing the cost + petrol ?
