I'd say woollies has the better suppliers. Who do you think has the buying power to get the pick of the supply. Everyone else gets what is left after the big two are done.

Best pasties have to be Port Elliott bakery, without question!

My mobile number is published on the council web site :eek:, don't get that many calls though. Have been an elected member since last SA elections in 2010. Have quite enjoyed it so far. You can put as much time and effort in as you want to really. Can be a LOT of reading meeting agendas...

I have also used Price USA a couple of times. All worked well. Deposit to Aust bank acc and postage rates were reasonable.

What about if you meet a boyfriend/girlfriend and move in with them or buy something together? ;)

In my opinion this is very dangerous advice from your accountant!:eek: This could result in the interest you pay not being 100% deductible when you re-draw to use the money for travel. Your repayments would also then have to be split between the deductible and non-deductible parts of the loan...

We have done NZ twice in a campervan, and loved it. We were touring around quite a bit, and the thing I liked about it most was not having to re-pack everything into the suitcases/car each day out of a hotel room. We had one of the large ones with the bed above the drivers area, so we could...

Was that the property software that was written by duncan_m that used to post here? A quick google search reveals his email address - give that a go maybe [email protected]

call the westpac retention team on 1800 807 693. Tell them you are leaving to go the ANZ unless they will match the 1% discount. ANZ will also cover up to $1000 of refinancing costs. I have just been through this with Westpac -they will match the discount (1%), but for me would not go any...

I have now been talking to the retention team (several times). They will do 1% off, down to 6.86, will will not go any further. I have told them will be taking all of my loans, accounts, credit cards, and 4 insurance products unless they match the ANZ advertised rate (6.8%). They are not...

I did that with a link to the advertised anz deal. The westpac guy said 'we can't go lowering our customers rate every time there is a special deal by the competition', and that they offer good service. My response was, 'why not?'

I am with westpac. My home loan manager is refusing to budge on my current discount of .9 (6.96%) variable.:mad: What is my best option to get that rate to 6.8%? Call the home loan retention call centre? or a 'bank manager' in a branch? Loans of over $1m at less than 80% LVR.

'Made in Australia from local and imported ingredients' I want to know what is local, and what is imported, and where exactly it came from!

I have now used myhomeisforsale twice - great product they offer, and love the web self service system. I too found the response time etc to not be fantastic. But my experience shows that if I have an open time listed I tend not to get many questions and a crowd at the opens.

Yes, all were different enq. Unfortunately I have not received many quality applicants this time - having an income helps...
