Hi everyone I've recently started really getting into cooking, and I absolutely adore these magazine's that woolworths put out each month. The best bit is they plan a whole dinner party for you - and I remember in the Feb 07 edition they had a fantastic Romantic Dinner for 2 planned....which...

HI There everyone It's been a while since I've posted, (been lurking for ages again) but I'd really like everyone's opinions here as I'm doing a little bit of research. Some of you may have seen the thread I posted months ago about my ambitious goal to be eligible to make it onto the BRW...

Hi All Probably a question for the Mortgage Brokers, we have been driving around in really crappy cars for a long time now and have decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to something slightly more comfortable. Question is - a. Can you add a car loan onto a PPOR loan that has already been...

Hi All Anyone know of a good cleaner/cleaning company in Brisbane? I'm looking for one (small house) but the fantastic lady who we used to have shut down her business....it's actually quite hard to find a good one these days so thought I'd check and get a reference from a brissie forumite...

Hi All It's been a while since I last visited the forum. I've found renewed energy to make time for thinking about my future goals again as a result of a discussion I had with a friend (and fellow somersoft member) a couple of weeks ago. I've decided to make my new goal known to make it more...

Hi all I know this has been posted before, but I just had to vent my frustration this morning! I'm with one of the major banks, and also have a credit card with them. I have a reasonably small limit (my choice, as they originally gave me a higher limit and I opted to reduce it). Anyway, I've...

Hi All Heard a segment on the radio this morning about whether working mum's/(dad's) should get childcare places before non-working parents....what do you all think? My point of view is that children DO need the social skills they get from childcare...however maybe those parents who...

Hi all Got to have a rant about the differences in men and women's brains! I don't know how he managed it, but my partner 'forgot' to tell me until last night that his best mate is getting married tomorrow night, and we're going! :eek: Doesn't he realise that there's a considerable amount...

Hi All Just a quick question. We currently have a two storey house - the bottom is a garage at the moment and below legal height for living space. We are going to turn it into living area, and are tossing up between raising the house or leaving it as is. Does anyone know whether you need...

Hi All I have a couple of 'simple' (AKA stoopid) :o questions to ask about home loans. I've done a search but didn't quite come up with what I was after. 1. Generally speaking, is there a difference in the interest rate a lender will give for a P&I loan as opposed to an IO? 2. How do...

Hi All I'm looking to jump on the bandwagon of posting my current situation and hoping that people will find it interesting enough to add in their 2cents and tell me what they would do in my situation. :D Hopefully you haven't all got sick of these kinds of posts yet as I have noticed there...

Hi all Thought I'd share a quick story with you. My best friend who is the same age as me (21) popped in on tuesday for a quick chat while we were getting some advice from my boyfriends parents on painting. After about 10 mins, when everyone else was absorbed in a different conversation, she...

Hi All I did run a search for this topic, but didn't find anything so hopefully I haven't doubled up. I am currently preparing to paint my very first room. I spent last night sugar soaping the walls, and have since been advised to sugar soap the ceiling as well....bugger. Anyone got any...

Hi All I just thought I'd share a conversation I had on the weekend with you all. (Unfortunately considering the way I tell stories, it's likely to wind up an essay!) A friend of mind 18yo girl fresh out of school and just started uni decided that as she had picked up a second job (in...

Hi All My mother recently had to go into hospital for the best part of a week and has had some very hefty doctor's/specialists bills, coupled with being off work for a good month. We are now fairly tight for money and unfortunately need to try and sell the shares we have. I know some...

Hi All Just wondering what everyone's opinion on the following is... My partner and I have had to strip the exterior walls on the back of our house to kill the termites that had made it home, and now are having a debate about what to replace the wall with. It was originally Fibro, as is...

Hi All Forgive me if this information has been posted in an earlier thread, but I thought I might see if anyone had any good tips on what we are preparing to do to our very old bathroom. We are completely scrapping the current layout of our bathroom, and as we are extremely short on space...

Hi All We have just bought our first home (settled yesterday :p ) and unfortunately have to kick out our excellent tenants, so that our stamp duty concession is not disqualified. Our tenants are on a month to month lease as the previous owner did not renew their lease in an effort to sell...
