What i do for my laurel hedge is cut the grass/weeds once, then cover with grass cuttings every time I cut the lawn. Literally smother the weeds. AFAIK the grass cuttings actually nourish the plants too. HTH

Try this, http://www.freerice.com/index.php It's great for vocab, and now I've just seen that they've added lots of other subjects including geography, art etc.

I have plants and I have kids and despite my little darlings being quite well-behaved, they would ruin a plant if I didn't tell them not to. Kids need to be taught everything. Speak to the parents. They may not even know it's happening? Tell the child if you see him not to touch the plant...

If you enjoy it, it's really a great way to see the world. I've done it in France, Austria, Ireland, Japan and loved the experience. If you hate it, there's always barwork! Good forum on and lots of job offers there too, enjoy

Sorry to sound cynical, but could it have been a job that was 'earmarked' for someone (internally) and just advertised as a matter of following procedure?

Re: Can you be made to do the work you would be doing while on annual leave before yo I think it's reality for most people. And unfair. Going on maternity leave I nearly killed myself getting everything up to date and writing out procedures that had never been recorded before. Of course when...

advice? do something memorable that would cost a couple of grand. then pay off your bills as lulu said. and continue to live within your means - very important. when i got my lump sum, I spent 2K getting laser treatment on my eyes. MY life is changed now and I'm so grateful for that money...

Re: Education options for teens Isn't it sad though that if a child decides they want to be a plumber, plasterer, manual worker they are given the message that they have a 'lower' education and are held in lower esteem than our accountants, office workers etc. I know this has been the case for...

I saw this company mentioned on another thread (about vineyard investments) and the name sounded familiar,so I checked my irish forestry services newsletter received today. Perhaps this has already been mentioned on the site but i couldn't find it. Irish forestry say: "shareholders have...

Phoned the above number and a very helpful guy is sending me out the figures. Thanks again.

Hi all, Going back through all my tax returns, it has emerged that my husband and I were never jointly assessed, although we thought we were, and certainly filled out a form years ago to request it. In 2004 and 05 we had some rental income and capital gains which I declared (I thought jointly)...

Yes, this happened us. We managed to phone them and told them the situation, they advised us to just book the required seats without the baby and later call back and add the infant's name, the extra €10 would just be taken from credit card. Of course I don't have the number we called now, but...

Perfect - thanks for the responses, will get onto that this afternoon.

Hi all, I have searched and found: http://www.askaboutmoney.com/showthread.php?t=7199&highlight=p60+unemployment but I'm still not sure of correct answer. My OH forgot to do his Form 11 back in 2003 and we're trying to sort it out now. He was unemployed from Nov 02 (so i suppose he should have...

logical reason = peak time all planes, trains (on the continent) do it, don't they? Travel with ryanair Tues to Thus for 1c fly weekends for 169€ (purely fictitious example given)

Depends on what you put in, yes, and mine can be different depending on the time of year - summer gets a better mix, winter gets mostly veg peelings - but don't let the soggy stuff put you off. Mix it with ordinary soil or shop compost and your plants will enjoy it anyway!

ditto pansyflower, don't buy special products, put a bit of olive oil on a rag and gently wipe. Then dry off as much oil as possible and clean as normal.

I always hated 'faithfully' so never use it despite what they tried to teach me! "Yours sincerely" sounds lovely. In my opinion 'best regards' emerged around the time of faxes and then emails and I would limit them to that. I hate seeing Best regards on a letter. No wonder people have a...
