I know a few of you are importers, plus there are some smart people on this forum :-) I'm looking into starting up a home-based business - but due to finances I need to start small. I want to import a particular item for resale - have it made up with my own logo/business name. Anyone here used...

Can anyone tell me a safe way to convert a 2 page Word document, to a jpeg file? I have Googled, but am nervous about downloading software onto my PC, when I don't know whether a website is safe or not. Any assistance/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Caroline

If someone phones you, after the conversation is terminated, is there a number you can dial that will immediately ring back the person who just called you? I'm thinking, something like *10# that tells you your last unanswered call, but for an answered call? Someone (unknown to me) just...

Today my fingers are crossed for my long-suffering, but eternally loyal St Kilda supporter/member husband. It is his dream that, just once in his lifetime, his footy team will win a premiership that he can watch, LIVE. (For those who don't know, they have only ever won one premiership - in...

One of my life dreams has come true over the last month. Just wanted to share my news with the lovely people of Somersoft. I am now a published author, after the release of my first book. It is a picture book for children. It was such a thrill for me the first time I walked into a shop and...

Hi all, I need to organise myself some business-sized cards. Can anyone recommend a printer/business-card producer? I live in the Dandenong Ranges, Melbourne, but happy to go with a web-based business as well. Thanks! :) Lily

My daughter's kindergarten is about to get some accreditation for healthy eating. Currently they ban the obvious stuff - chips, lollies, chocolate etc, which I have no problem with. (If one four year old has a choci bar, they all want one). With the new acreditation, they are going a step...

Hello all, I am about to start a DIY make-over of my PPOR family room. I'm removing the cacky green carpet and replacing it with a floating timber floor. There is chipboard under the carpet. There are two doors in this room, and in front of each door there is an area of tiles. I need to...

We are moving into our new PPOR in March. Dandenong Ranges area (moving from and to). I'm hoping someone can recommend a removalist company. (or, if a bad experience - who not to hire). Need 2 men and a large truck for a day. Many thanks :) Lily

There are several threads currently running on Somersoft about the upcoming election. I am no longer going to look at any of them. Why? I'm all for discussing the state of our country, and who may be best to run it. I'm all for people having opinions and expressing them freely. This is a...

I'm having a post-holiday clean out and no longer have room for my magazines. If anyone would like any of the magazines listed below, please send me a private message or email, with the magazines you would like, and your postcode. I'm giving them anyway to anyone who wants them and who is...

Is there such a thing as a private blog? I'm one week away from heading off, with my family, for 4 month road trip around Australia. Rather than send regular emails to family and close friends, I thought it might be more time-efficient to set up a blog. What I basically want to do is...

Hello there, I live in Melb, but have an IP in Queensland. It is currently tenanted, on a one year lease, that runs out in January 2007. We wish to remove the current tenants, so are not planning on renewing their lease in January. Our managing agent tells us that we only have to give...
