    10% group scheme discount

    Sounds like a phone call to www.hia.ie might be useful to see if they are aware of any way around the loss of the discount. Our discount is still allowed through our pension and policy with VHI. Sounds like a mean rule applied by Laya. You may find their Create a Scheme option useful.

    Walnut venetian blinds with white windows, yay or nay?

    Sounds as if the cream or white would be the best option because of the clash of woods but most people don't seem to find that aspect a problem. I'm not keen on two different woods myself. I had a similar problem and went for dark wood in the end but we do have dark windows. Another thing...

    Alternatives to headstones in graveyards.

    Hi Steiner/so-crates, Came across this also http://www.affordable-markers.com/slants.html The particular graveyard would be most suited to a slanted stone. Might have a word with a few stonemasons and see if they can give some prices.

    Alternatives to headstones in graveyards.

    I'm looking for options other than headstones for graves and came across these Companion Bronze Grave Markers. Needless to say they are not an option to purchase (American) and the bronze plaque might disappear ;) A plain slab of marble with inscription might be better? Anyone buy something...

    UPC loyalty bonus running out - trying to renew it

    Would have to agree. It seems from reading the thread on boards mentioned above that the half price year long discounts are for Horizon which seems to have a lot of problems so I won't touch it with a barge pole. The main thing is to use the Loyalty Department no 061 272190 as Delboy...

    UPC loyalty bonus running out - trying to renew it

    Have square eyes from reading 31 pages! Did you have to haggle much to get the discount. Note their half price year discounts appear to be for Horizon only which I'm not interested in. How many times did you have to ring back? How did you manage the €350 annual saving? Not looking forward...

    Credit unions' death benefit and membership of two credit unions.

    Just wondering if anyone can explain to me exactly how this death benefit insurance works if one is a member of two credit unions. I have a vague recollection of asking about it many years ago and I think they said that it is only paid out once. As the benefit can vary from minimum €1,300 to...

    Saving water

    As far as I'm concerned the only way to get my daughter or son to conserve the time spent in the shower (water running) would be to make them pay the bill (which won't happen :mad:). I timed myself the other day and even with washing the hair twice and conditioning, it only took 5 mins for...

    Storing contacts from Nokia phone.

    Thanks for that. It won't work, it doesn't seem to like the USB cable which appears to have been accepted by the phone :( In the crap manual they do seem to push the point of using a memory card? Anyone know of any other way of storing these? Is the Vodafone web site an option as I think it...

    Storing contacts from Nokia phone.

    I want to store my contacts possibly on the computer for my current Nokia phone. My last phone was stolen and have had to replace contacts so lesson learnt. I did originally have a very old Nokia ovi suite account but when I tried to download the contacts they were not available and it told me...

    Donation being made on https secure site but unencrypted.

    I was making a donation yesterday to a charity on their chosen website and checked before inputting card information that the link was https. Coming towards the end of the transaction a pop-up message appeared saying 'this page is unencrypted and may be viewed by a third party' I immediately...

    Problem with Windows 7 updates on desktop.

    Have gone through all of these options but to no avail. Reinstall is the only option at this stage. Is there any major problem with just turning off the Windows Updates?

    where can i do a medical secretarial course in the evening?

    Hi, Can I ask why you are interested in doing one of these courses? I did it a few years ago through FAS and found it tough enough over 39 weeks and full time. There is a lot of learning on the physiology and medical terminology side of things. It was a FETAC level 5 qualification. It can...

    Is there a cooling fan to be had in Dublin?

    Checked with Argos and they don't even know when new stock will be coming in. B&Q got 90 in and they sold within minutes. I bought one of the heaters that can work on cold but not great as you would have to lie right in front of the air outlet. I did hear that there were some in a shop...

    Odd payment options from Greyhound

    There was trouble over this. Has anyone had an offer from Greyhound offering free yearly membership, cheaper lifts, 2 months free and a promise to be cheaper than Thorntons next year? Despite this offer still not tempted as too many bad reports about them.
