Yes, we have had this recently happen too, on two separate occaisions.. Check out http://blog.gumtree.com/paypal-scam-alert/ for more info! Nadia

LOL, not far from the truth there!

Completely agree with having rest stops, even if it is a day in a airport hotel to allow the kids and yourselves time to catch up on some sleep and burn off some energy in the pool or whatever. Also rest days during the trip when you are not going out to see or do something, just a day at...

Yep, me too Sunfish...all seems good now though :)

My whinge - Being 34 weeks pregnant, having heartburn from hell that nothing seems to help..and knowing I have to put up with it for another 6weeks....argggghhhh At least in 6 weeks there will be something wonderful to celebrate!

Anti-depressants are only "worth it" if you are clinically depressed. I believe (and I have had experience with this issue) that it is worthwhile trying other avenues of treatment first, such as relaxation, meditation, counselling/psychology first. However, if you are struggling/cant get up in...

hahaahaa..me too!

Yumm..love sardies in tomato sauce on toast for brekky! Also love anchovy paste. Also love freaking my kids out by offering them a taste of either, and watching their faces when they cop a fishy whiff! :D

Huh, I have the opposite problem...my two kids are fussy about what species of fish they eat...they have eaten freshly caught fish since they were babies. They love "mackie" (Spanish Mackeral), but wont eat "red fish" (Nannygai). They also love the oily fish like herring and mullet, but only...

Hi Tuppence, Have you looked at Green Island? It is a relatively short boat trip from Cairns and a perfect day trip for kids. There is some fantastic snorkelling from shore, particularly on the jetty side of the island, which is perfectly suitable for kids and inexperienced adults - we have...

We have also recently had this problem..its not much fun :(. We tried the rat traps, discovered that often the rodents dont get immediately killed by the trap leaving it to either die slowly (awful) or be found by you in the morning and have to be somehow euthanased by you (worse!). We had to...

Hi Jack, Here is the Feb "Month in Review" report from Herron Tod White, in case you are interested. Page 27 for Cairns. Vacancies are tightening slowly, which may (hopefully!) bring rents up a bit - if my 4 x 2 went up from the current $335/wk to 370/wk, it would be back at the rate it was...

Hmmm...bout time it went up I say! Given rents have been falling and vacancies have been high, (since the "GFC"), this is one little investor that is not happy with the recent Cairns rental market! We have 2 Ips in Cairns and in the last couple of years thay have struggled - I have a 4 x 2...

Hmm, I was pretty sure Perth water had been flourinated since the late 60's?? I have had this problem with my children also - both of them, now 5 and 7, have serious dental problems and lack of enamel, apparently due to lack of fluoride (for the record, they have their teeth brushed twice a...

Haha, my kids call them skyscrapers still too, and we have been back for almost 2yrs....and its only Perth..hardly massive buildings. Its all relative I suppose!

This reminded me of something my daughter said when she was about 4. We have pretty much lived in the country all the kids lives, but were visiting the city one day. My daughter was staring at an attractive business woman walking towards us, head swivelling as she passed. My girl whispered to...

Got in this arvo from a week in Bali....got the post-holiday blues already :(. Even the kids have long faces... Cant help with the phone thing though - didnt take one..the silencewas divine!

Townsville I believe....but even so, they will cop their fair share I imagine... There are quite a few SS memebers up that way, or own property there. Sailor, who hasn't posted here for ages has her PPOR right on the beach-front at Machans beach..literally metres from the waters edge....I...

Yep, we have 2 IP's in Cairns, on the Northern Beaches...have fingers crossed that they hold up OK, and the tenants are safe...Fingers crossed...

Hmmm..now I'm confused again. To me, a corn JACK is a deep fried roll (made by the Chiko company), with a corn and vegetable filling, whereas a corn DOG (or dagwood dog) is a battered and fried hot dog sausage, often on a stick. Not that it really matters at all :o....so long as Rob enjoyed...
