WELS just released a notice about shower heads from China, see waterrating.gov.au. Multiple instances of flow controllers not fitted.

It is a bit of a process to sign up but is convenient to lodge medicare claims (although it doesn't accept all types of claims). I get a number sent to my phone to type in I think - rather than answering the three security questions each time (that yes, you sometimes forget how you answered).

2 single ovens stacked with a large pot draw underneath. Works for me.

My husband is a licensed builder working mainly in the renovation/restoration field and always works on a per hour basis (rather than quoting). Clients either pay for materials themselves or hubby buys and charges back to the client at cost (receipts are made available). He invoices weekly so...

All is going well for us with Jamie from PassGo home loans in Canberra. Very helpful with advice on how to set up our loan structure and getting things done quickly.

We're looking for an excellent PM for a property in the Woden area, Canberra. Would welcome any recommendations.

I used to work in an LPO a few years back. Commissions were paid on bill payments, passport processing etc. Some profit in stamps, packaging etc. We had stacks of carded parcels left with us. Received a fee for holding those parcels based on the approximate number we handled each week. It was...

Hi All, Ive noticed a few threads where people are asked 'what is your strategy'? How do investors work out what their strategy is? Is it through experience or do you work it out upfront? Ive done a fair bit of reading ie books and this forum, magazines etc and Im not much clearer yet on...

Agree with you there!

Thanks for sharing and congratulations. Can I ask what strenght Duromine you were taking?

Saw Gravity in 2D on the weekend (dont like 3D). Loved it - kind of life affirming even. Must have been on a Sandra Bullock kick because we watched The Blind Side on the same day and it was a really nice story.

Thanks all, really appreciate your advice - its making sense. Our PPOR is fully paid off and we have a LOC up to about 200K - was about to go in and close off the loan but will keep it open pending chat with broker.

Thanks Rolf. What's an LOC? I think you're right about the nab looking after there own best interest (as you'd expect I guess). Will be getting better advice next time. Ps - I accidentally posted original message twice. Apologies. Learning slowly how this starting threads works.

Thanks all for your advice. We have an offset account set up for one of the loans and use that to put any income into. Will get in touch with Jamie M to discuss our options and borrowing capacity for 3rd IP.
