Just looking for some advice. Looking at building an outdoor games room for our teenage children. I'm seriously considering a log cabin and have been looking at some companies online that provide these. I'm living in the sticks so have ample room but the area would be somewhat exposed come...

Main reason is so I can accept cheques made out to the website/company name. I think this looks more professional than accepting cheques made out to myself.

Hi, Just looking for a bit of advice please. I have a small online business which has attracted some business. I am looking to accept cheques made out to the website name . I assume I need to setup a separate bank account for this (e.g. Joe Bloggs trading as WidgetsAreUs). Would anyone...

Hi, For the last number of months, I've been keeping track of my mortgage using Banking Online. It only gives me the current outsanding balance and I've been trying to make sense of it. It's a variable rate mortgage with BOI. Does anyone know when the interest is applied. Is it...

Sorry to drag up an old thread but in a similar position myself. Trying to decide on a brick built garage versus a log cabin/external room. Would be looking at something like 5x5 metres minimum. Seem to be a lot of companies providing log cabins/sheds but I don't know anyone who has gone...

Thanks for that. Not looking good for that idea so!

Hi, Just to see if anyone can advise if the fees for private secondary schools are tax deductible? Thanks, Paul

Hi, Have a variable rate mortgage with BOI. I have been keeping track of it using Online Banking. I notice that every so often, the balance on the mortgage will go up - I assume that this is because interest is applied maybe on a quarterly basis? Am I correct in my assumption or is the...

Aarrrgh, Rang this morning to book the home and it was gone. Back to the drawing board. Only real availability is in Kerry. Been to Killarney a couple of years so want to go somewhere else. Has anyone any experience of Kenmare, Waterville, Sneem or Ballybunion and would you suggest any of...

Hi folks, Found a place in Westport. Just wondering if anyone has been to Westport with children and if you would recommend it?

Thanks all. I was thinking Donegal but my wife isn't convinced. Looking at Kerry now. Found a few houses with availability but they are a bit too much on the remote side. What I have seen is some really amazing houses which are fully booked unfortunately. Of nothing else, I have a short list for...

Thanks for all the suggestions.. I've not been up around Donegal in quite some time, anyone recommend it? I do a bit of hiking and the younger children love the beach so possibilities there..

Hi, Off in a couple of weeks and have nothing booked. Can anyone recommend any good websites/resources for Self-Catering in Ireland? Ideally looking for a house to take a family of 6 (2 adults, 4 children).

Thanks for the feedback folks. I realise that I would require planning but I believe I am better off build what I want and go down the planning route than compromise. I suppose what I am trying to get a handle on is whether I can afford what I want (rather than a compromise) prior to going to...

Hi, Done some more research since I posted this. Looks like any pre-fab sheds are too small for what I'm looking for. I reckon I'd be looking at a brick-built garage of 24 by 24 foot, maybe with some attic space upstairs (potentially for an additional room). Can anyone advise how the...

Hi, Our children are reaching the wonderful teenage years and we are looking into building a garage/hang-out area so we can give them a bit of space yet have them nearby. Initially was looking at perhaps purchasing one of those prefabricated outdoor rooms but now thinking maybe we'd be...

Having driven my '00 Toyota Avensis into the ground, I'm on the lookout for a new motor. Not looking for anything fancy, just something reliable and dependable. I probably do around 50-60km per day with work requiring some spins down the country on occassions. Thinking of maybe something...

Hi all, Just looking for some advice. Kids are getting that bit older and the house is getting that bit more cramped! Looked at the possibility of extending but due to the roof structure, the quotes were way out there. Thinking of perhaps some sort of a detatched building (luxury shed...

Thanks for the info guys and I should have been clearer with my question. Looking at the total shop inclusive of stuff like detergents, cosmetics etc.. Amazed to see EUR150 per week for 4 adults.. EUR600 is very good for that amount of people..

Hi, Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of stats on average shopping spends for families of various sizes?
