Hi Everyone, I too am guilty of just sitting back and reading the posts. I have not actually posted for a long time but I have read almost every post. I am sure a lot of people are doing the same. Anyway I have still been investing and only just bought another townhouse last saturday in fact...

Hi everyone, Marcpatric, I, too am a painting contractor and your advice is right. You need to stick with the top brands. Brand though does not mean that they don't all make a budget line and even though the budget lines are not as washable they are okay to use. You can look at two...

I can see the day coming where the agent walks in and says to the vendor"Ok! you want to sell your house. please don't tell me anything." Househunter

You could actually try going along with the whole thing. Get enthusiastic about it and join in the conversations. Every now and again just throw in a little question of doubt. Don't go over the top at this stage. Bit by bit you will be creating the seed of doubt. Don't just whisper in your...

Hi Wealthyjay, One thing we did which really helped us when building our house was to go to auctions and special sales for up to 12 months before building our new house. We got nearly every fitting at a good price and all the builder had to do was arrange for someone to fit them. It saved on...

Jacque, Have you got a local dulux or bristol paint store ? Try them. Househunter

Gee Garyk It would be good for the exploration of planets etc if we could live to 1000. Imagine travelling around the universe and coming home after 900years. It would be an interesting sight not to mention the rise in real estate prices...

Very enjoyable evening with good company and good food, but, Australia lost the cricket though. Oh well. Thanks kevin, geoff and eric.

Jacque, Both acrylic and enamels will stick to bin. The beauty of this product is that you can recoat it in one hour and it sticks like the proverbial you know what. You don't have to take the shine right off the varnish but just give it and all over sand with 120 - 180 grit sandpaper. Just...

Hi Geoff, Congratulations and i hope it goes well for you. Apart from KFC my boys won't eat anything but subway. I've always considered it to be the healthy one. Anyway seeing as how your coming to Brisbane, I am wondering if you'd like to come for dinner one night or just meet up for a...

HiJaque, Your bill does seem a little high for your house. I have a big house with a/c/dishwasher/ computers/ 5 tvs/4 fridges etc and my bill is about the same as yours. I don't have a pool in this house but I can tell you that when I had the pool in a smaller house my bill was still about...

Geoff, That is a rare occurence. Getting to be a millionare by 23 I mean not getting married again. I wish I had known how to become a millionare at that age. Maybe you learn how to keep it better when you are older. Househunter

You may be right quiggles. I can't say that I am a perfect judge of people let alone women, however I have been married for 23 years and have watched my friends marriages around me go down like dominoes. When I first met my wife I had nothing. I had a broken down old valiant with no...
