jlo Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 It's not a bad idea but I don't think many people would fancy coming to Basingstoke!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 It is a good idea, you could come to my house and see one of your egg skelters in action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'd swap with Jackiepoppies - but she wouldn't get her house back again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 we did these for years when the kids were small: through the NCT House swap register. Lots of holidays in Wales and the Lake District and we got a child friendly house to stay in and pet-sitters while we were away. The only downside is having to leave a tidy house when you go (but you get a tidy one to return to as well!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Ill swap with Angels4 hmmm, why can I see Mark running away at a distance cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 We were thinking of doing this for 2012 - only 45 mins from here to Stratford - 15 to the station then 30 from there. I want to go to Australia though - don't think we have any omleteers there. I bet I still can't get away from the stupid boring olympics though.

Ms Marple Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I guess Jackiepoppies for Angels4 would be a great swop I could be persuaded. We are 30-45 mins into centre of Manchester train/car. 5 mins to Peak District. Peak Forest canal at bottom of lower garden. Close to Yorkshire moors etc. Station is 5 mins. Brand new kitchen!!!! Lake District 1.5 hours...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I know - never fancied New Zealand though - always wanted to see some of Australia - Sydney Opera House, Ramsay Street and yes I know they are not exactly close to each other...
