    AIB announcement: allowing to move with tracker

    Anyone hazard a guess as to what may happen in our situation, where we want to downgrade and keep our tracker, yet we currently wouldn't qualify for a mortgage with AIB due to a change in circumstances (1 partner unemployed). We have a clean record with our tracker so far.

    New washing machine faulty. Can I insist on replacement

    Thanks for that link sandals. I'm useless at complaining. I think I will get my husband to bring it back this evening and insist on a replacement. I can't be without one. I have a newborn and two school young kids that need clean clothes and uniforms for Monday. It's a nightmare

    New washing machine faulty. Can I insist on replacement

    Hi there As stated above. I purchased a new Indesit washing machine yesterday and it appears to have an electrical fault. I was on to the indesit tech support who offered to send an engineer out next Wednesday to look at it. But I would prefer a replacement or refund. I think it's...

    Re the back to education allowance. What if an recipient is not entitled to social welfare due to not satisfying a means test or being previously self employed ? I guess they will get nothing and possibly have to give up their course ?

    High Water Table causing septic tank problems

    Hi all I am very grateful for all the advice I received about this problem and wanted to update you with our progress, which has been very slow and disappointing to say the least. We had three county council approved engineers out to look at the problem and all gave different recommendations...

    Reed Beds as a form of treating sewage from a house (as opposed to septic tanks)

    I came across this old post while trying to find information on Reed beds. Does anyone know how they work ? I currently have a septic tank and a percolation system, neither of which are working too well at the moment. Problems include odour and constant wetness in surrounding ground. Can a Reed...

    Taxation of Back to Education Allowance

    Thanks Smehard and Mandelbrot. I don't think it will make any difference to the bottom line either way, might be no harm to leave it in.

    Taxation of Back to Education Allowance

    Mandlebrot, thank you for clearing that up. It was Jobseekers benefit he was on, so therefore I can claim the PAYE credit, which is great news as I thought I would have a tax bill to pay. Thanks again.

    To sell now or wait ? opinions please

    Thank you both for your replies. Unfortunate there doesn't seem to be much property selling locally at all. I suppose all we can do us bite the bullet and put it for sale, nothing ventured, nothing gained I guess
