Thanks for your thoughts Leper. Just to be clear, the dog run will be to the left side of the redesigned garden (5ft X 20 ft). The rest will be a full paving. We also like in a housing estate in Dublin and we don't have oil delivered. In terms of dog poo and digging, the back garden has got...

Thanks Leo, First off existing garden is (50sqm) approx it total. Existing shed (9ft X 9ft) will be kept. Dog run will be 5ft X 23 ft Dog run artificial grass. Rest ( will be Indian Sandstone - 50 sqm if not less) Labour will be to remove existing grass and 1 small tree and a few small...

Thanks Sue Ellen. This dog certainly likes digging, we can almost touch Australia :) We're going to go for Paving and give it a softer space (artificial grass) to run around. Believe me this dog is not being mistreated :), in fact it sometimes clicks it's fingers for attention :) I would never...

Thanks Sue Ellen. Yes we keep the Dog inside most of the time. Main reason for the Dog run is that dog is very energetic, (an english pointer), so we feel it would be good for it to stretch it's legs, in addition to regular walks of course. We have the dog 6 months and let's just say the garden...

Hi, Just got a quote to redesign a garden (25ft X 25ft) approx. New design will be 5ft X 23 ft Dog run. Rest will be Indian Sandstone. Quote was €9,500. Does that sound reasonable? Josie

Hi, Until now myself and my wife have been taxed separately . My gross salary is 75k and her gross is 49k. The monthly net income was about 6k in total. Now she is going on a 3 day week so her gross salary will be about 29k. As a result we plan to get taxed jointly now, so I've...

Hi, My wife is currently on Maternity Leave and is currently considering going on a 3 day week. She has been in the health service for 22 years contributing to a pension. She has been advised by her manager to be careful because when she retires her pension will be based on the...

We have pay as you go meters in our house and a friend has said that we pay more per unit as a result. Is this true and to what extent is it more expensive? If so, what's the selling point and why should we continue to use the meters? WGT

Thanks all for your prompt replies. On the return flight next Thursday can I do the same in Birmingham Airport?

Hi, I know this is probably a novice question but I'm flying with my wife and son to Birmingham on Aer Lingus next Monday. I can only check online 30 hours before departure. Do I have to print out anything when I check in online to bring to the airport with me? I don't have a printer at...

Pr Thanks all for your feedback. To my mind, I have always made myself available for requests for work from the other departments. However, I can't pre-empt this work. This has to be requested by the other departments. I think my core job requires me to be 'quiet', focussed and diligent. I...

Hi, Just had a performance review and one of the actions going forward was (names are not real). "We agreed that Person X needs to show positivity in all his actions to make sure he is portrayed as a go to person in the company as a whole. This has already started with Personal X...

Hi, I'm applying for a Senior .NET Developer role in Hewlett Packard in Leixlip. I'm in the final stages. Does anyone know what it's like to work there, especially in terms of work life balance? I'm searched online and have seen some mixed reviews, so can't decide what the reality is.

Hi Brendan, Yes it came from Campbell O' Connor. I think I'll sit tight as surely the shares I have can't fall much further. In any case, I'm in for the long haul and I don't need the money urgently. I thought it was odd too. As you say it could be that they want small account holders to...

Hi, Got a letter from my stockbroker It stated the "Given the steep fall in stock market valuations, you may consider that your holdings are no longer worth keeping.". I had noticed this, but thought that by selling them now, I would be realizing the loss. Therefore I was...

Thanks for the response hastalavista, See comments below in red.

Hi, Thinking about applying for the above mentioned masters degree (2 years part time). Just wondering has anyone done it and how demanding is it? I know there are 3 weeks of modules per year. Then there are assignments and a thesis to be done in your own time I am married with 2...

Thanks ajapale, But why is the time factor an issue. How is that going to change the outcome, surely if it comes to it, the outcome will be the same, regardless of whether we act now or wait for the neighbour to act. Or is there something I'm not getting.

Thanks onq, Carried out bedtime reading of Chapter 3 as recommended. However, can't see how any of relates to us directly, as it was the previous 'building owner' and not us who carried out the 'work order' or extension. Indeed, the 'adjoining owner' has also moved on and is not the current...

Thanks for your contribution hastalavista. The extension was carried out by the previous owner of our house, so don't really know the full history but to the best of my knowledge see answers below in red. 28 posts later and still no detail of the actual trespass. Well alleged trespass to be...
