try gudog - its an app for finding dog walkers and theres a few in donabate on there.

also Pawshake is another one

A lot of kids seem to get the train into town - and quite a few seem to be bleary eyed shivering at the bus stop waiting for the 7.20 bus , I always feel so sorry for them on dark winter mornings.. I think being realistic one parent needs to be driving into town every morning for it to make sense as...

there was a piece in Irish times yesterday showing how one shop worker resulted in 54 cases across 7 generations of transmission last week down the country . Masks are scratchy when you wear them all day and steam up your glasses but they seem to do the job of keeping us safe and I totally agree wit...

has anyone in your house recently dyed their hair blonde or marge simpson blue ? - could it be purple shampoo !? otherwise is the water softener on your mains water line ? - if it is is you should be seeing the same happen on downstairs wash hand basin too but worth doing a pH check and no harm fill...

peter up at Dexter beef is very good too for keeping it local fro meat and eggs . We did his free farm walk one saturday and hes got great vision for the place and a lot of very happy chickens , pigs and cows pottering around the old golf course . if you order online - he delivers to your door with ...

Hi , we've changed from virgin to gomo . I think the signal is actually better. I'm happy with the move.......on the Eir network so good coverage

theres a very good silver fish spray/ powder on amazon - you put it down at night then in morning they all dead- i did three goes of it and sorted the problem they can be very hard to get rid off,

keep kids away from the powder- dont think its that nasty but dosen'tdo the silver fish any good !

can any one tell me who is actively pushing for cyclepaths and malahide estuary cycle route.?

Newbridge is a fantastic amenity and like most local families we're up there a lot between parkrun, playground, walks, bike rides etc. but 15 euros to walk around the farm is pretty steep or 18.50 if you've 3 kids and that's before you buy an ice cream or go for coffee.. makes for an expensive after...

speaking of putting the 'hearse ' in hearse road .... Has anyone seen the two lads running on the Hearse road up near Jones running towards Donabate - dressed completely in black , running in the dark , almost invisible. around 5.30 pm. I've seen them 3 evenings now- would stop to give them lift but...

vlad,,thanks for the info... its a great idea to drop them an email I'm typing it as we speak !

Theres 24 acres backing onto Rogerstown estuary currently up for sale on Daft. up behind Carrs Mill/ Rahillion. Price On Application.

According to the Fingal Development plan its green belt / high amenity area. ...but for how long ?

in girls school shoe policy is strictly enforced - in the boys school they are allowed wear runners with school uniform as well as tracksuit - and lots do !

Hi, it's a grand commute...30 mins each way if you leave at 7.20 am return 4.30 pm. Less in the summer. Traffic can be heavy on malahide rd but through clonshaugh shaves a few mins off
Good luck with the new job !

so...what was in the black bag ?....was it the kitchen bin or general junk ?

theres a list of bands playing in the walled garden on the website and the free bus up there every half hour looks good too - but I'd say best idea is to stock the fridge tonight and stay local for the weekend , unless you want to sit in a traffic jam on the hearse road getting into the village

a taxi is about 20 euros - local taxi guys very reliable for early morning runs

On the new road the footpath is really bad in places so many people run on road if its quiet as the surface is better....

p.s. I'm sure most local joggers would be delighted to be described as skinny and bright !!

anyone hear anything about the Estuary walkway/ cycleway.....any progress ?

if you can't borrow one its worth looking on Donedeal and adverts - you should be able to pick up very reasonably and locally second hand , then you'll have it for future visits too

hi,

I'm very interested , i'll give you a call tonight , thanks

hi,

This looks really interesting but it clashes with park run at 9.30 in Newbridge - is she planning on any other weekend classes ?

that's great to hear - thanks for the feedback !

I've a boy and girl for secondary school in a couple of years time and I'm at the sussing out secondary schools options stage. My preference would be to send them to the local school for many reasons, but I'm aware there was a bit of controversy about the Community College - has it settled down now ?
