    Thinking about buying a spa ..recommendations

    I love my spa:D - We have a 5 person Lanark with 2 motors and we use Ozone (so no chlorine smell), sits on a deck for easy access to pump/motors. We haven't had too much trouble with ours over the years. Just a little tip tho - we thought our pump had died, spa shop guys agreed and said we...

    I believe inner city Perth luxury apartments.....still heaps and heaps of cashed up buyers in WA that want to live the high life! Another of my picks would have to be undervalued areas of Caboolture & Ipswich, QLD. sq:)

    Personal Development anyone?

    Hi guys, I have always been a big advocate of personal growth/development. I believe that everything we experience in our life, be it good or bad, teaches us something about ourselves. One of my favourite books is "Hug the Monster" by Smith and Leicester. cheers sq

    Any serious cooks out there to recommend some good cookware..?

    Hi Harris, My hubby was a chef and he recommends the best thing for you to do is go into a commercial cookwear supplier/hospitality supplier, as they have big showrooms and usually qualified staff to help you with your decision. In Perth we get all our cooking gear from Gibpat....don't...

    Purchasing in VIC - Frankston Area
