    15 year old son has to pick his Leaving Cert subject choices next week.

    Did he not have a consultation with the guidance counsellor in his school? Why would you go to a private guidance counsellor? Some of those practising outside the school system are not up to date. Also your school practitioner will have all your son's examinations results, interests, aptitudes...

    leaving cert mocks,results query

    From my experience as a teacher most of the marking in the mocks is appalling. They are usually marked by unemployed teachers and sometimes by students who do not have experience. Full time teachers would not have time to mark mocks and the money paid is a lot less than is paid by the State...

    Tax and Maternity Leave - questions...

    Forgot to say you can of course take any holidays due to you (you should be due 2 weeks in respect of the 26 weeks maternity benefit). You are also entitled to be paid for any public holidays that fell during the 26 weeks. You will get PRSI contributions for those paid days.

    Lidl/Targa 3 year guarantee

    Yes, I had a similar experience with a Targa laptop. It was almost 3 years old (just 3 weeks left on the guarantee) and they collected the laptop. It was delivered back to me by courier from Germany within a week and no further problems. It is four years old now. I would definitely buy again.

    How much to pay 16 year old - childminding

    I would say 50 euro per day is adequate for a 16 year old who is not expected to cook lunch or anything, just mind the children and entertain them. There are plenty of 16 year old who would be delighted to get work like this during their summer holidays.

    I am travelling to Naples on cheap aer lingus flight 27th Seotember arriving 20.55 if flight on time. Last Curreri bus departs around 19.00 hours. Does anyone know if there is a shuttle bus from the airport to Sorrento in the evenings? Taxis seem very expensive - 100 euro or so.
