We got some granite paving slabs down on Friday. We've noticed the granite slabs have the rough side up. NOt sure if the polished flat side of the slab should be facing up. Does this matter? Is it wrong to have the rougher side up? The landscaper is from a reputable company, and ive seen...

Hi Ameritte, I moved to Rush about 2 yrs ago and love it. Its a great village. Although not as busy or serviced as Skerries as you probably know, but its only 10 mins drive away. There are great schools there too and also creche facilities if required. We have a 14 month old daughter and she's...

Thanks again for the replies. I know its a great offer and opportunity to get our savings up and increase family life. We know its a great opportunity - but my wife staying at home long term is not what we both want. The intention is to go back working after 6-8 months. The other concern is...

Thanks for the replies, as I expected recommendations for both sides. Its a tough decision. To answer some of the questions. My wife has worked in her current job for 9 years. Its voluntary redundancy, if she stayed her job would not be under threat in the future but the conditions she works...

Agree about Faro airport - there was a whole bunch of us looking for our buggies on the luggage belt. Some one then realised there was a seperate buggy platform down the back. All our buggies were just sitting there. Didnt have to wait too long but was a case of none one told us - and no signage...

agree with lucky charm. Our outbound flight was at 6 am. So out baby was asleep on route to the airport and all through security. Woke up on the flight but it was perfect timing for her morning feed so it kept her quiet for atleast an hour. Maybe we were very lucky but there wasn't a sound...

Its not a m illion miles out of Dublin but Rush or Skerries is a great area. Skerries probably better over Rush but both seaside towns. Living in Rush the last year an love it. Choice of two beaches. Have the north beach only 2 min walk (and I mean that) from my house. Pleanty of local...

Actually had a similar post here myself a few months back. Travel with a 6 month old. We ended up going to Portugal and loved it. Really easy to drive around quiet in parts and flight time not bad at all. Also they have same time zone which is handy. Do a search for the thread as other users...

Similar ad on carzone. 03 Black VW beetle for €6000 or something. My wife was like 'my god look at this' I explained about the potential scams on other car sites so we emailed the seller. Got pretty much same story as above. Except it played on the death of a family member and they needed to...

Depends on what way you are looking at it. It's probably due to the fact expectant Dads now want to feel part of the whole pregnancy or acknowledge the fact the expectant mother is not on her own? of course only one person is pregnant but 'we' are having a baby would be fairly acceptable to...

Hi suimhneach, Just wondering have you had any luck with this. I recently lost the key to our front door. Like yours its an old aluminum door. Id need to get the barrel replaced etc.. Hoping it can be easily and cheaply done.

Actually passed that for the first time in years the other week. Looks like it got an whole new make over. All very modern looking, still called Sherries tho, and still full of oldies ;) I reamember it used to be a real old greasy spoon type place. Its not that far away but if you cross...

yep - have one in our en suite (windowless) It's really nice not to have to put the light on and just have natural light in from the sun tunnel. Decent enough light in the brighter mornings. Not sure how effective they would be in a larger open area though.

Thanks for the replies. I'll have a look into my contract and check to see if there is anything like a 'mobility clause' - I'm nearly sure there is, as we are an international company and I vagely remember there being something about working in other offices. But as crum mentioned it shouldn't...

the comnpany I work for has mentioned the idea of moving us to partner with the rest of our department in Germany. We are based in Dublin and basically a smaller division of the department. They have explained this is not a monitary issue. Not a cut back issue as the Irish office pays for...

This relates to if the Civil and Church part of the wedding is abroad. As with the majority of people would have a civil ceremony in their home country to be legally bound under the law of that country. We had our civil ceremony here in Ireland and church ceremony in Italy. The Bishop of the...
