I know Bronte. It's mad.

Merille, my eldest does help out during the school holidays. In fact she's fantastic. But she is at school until 4 each day, and school is 7 miles from where we live. Derek, my employers aren't budging.

I love working, I hate the thought of having to rely on anyone or anything (welfare). I have done everything the right way all my life, never had a loan until my mortgage, saved for everything I needed or wanted, paid cash for our wedding, my first car, never got into debt paying for holidays or...

I was made redundant 12 months ago and was claiming my stamps. Then last may I was offered my current job. It was perfect because my parents offered to mind my kids for free to give us a chance to get back up on our feet. Unfortunately, my dad got ill two weeks after I started my job and I had...

My husband was claiming that for us but it's up for renewal at the moment so we will be waiting another 2 months for a decision on that.

I'm currently working 14-16 hours per week at a rate of €8.74 per hour. These hours are mostly worked over a 4 day week. I hand in my yellow docket to social welfare every week and on the rare weeks I work a 3 day week I receive my JSB. My problem is I can't afford it anymore. I'm seriously in...

Anyone know?

Hi, I'm currently claiming JSB (doing X & O) and I also work 14 hours a week. These hours are spread out over a 3 or 4 day period. I'm finding it fairly hard to maintain myself (like everyone else). Does anyone know whether I'll be eligible for a CE Scheme?

Any advise please?

I would recommend the Citreon Xara Picasso. I drive a 07 1.6 diesel and I love it. It has 3 seperate back seats so can easily accommodate 3 car seats. I picked one up before Xmas for €12,000

He is undercoating with a cheaper paint closer to the main colour. The main colour is a deep mustard colour and the assistant advised me not to go for a white undercoat because it would mean an extra coat of the expensive paint.

The painter will put on 3 coats. Its the first time the house has been painted.

Hi have a bit of a quandry. I am painting the exterior of my house. On Saturday I went to a well known paint shop to price my paint. An assistant calculated the area of my house (I brought in my house plans) and informed me how much paint I would need, gave me quote etc. I sent my OH out...

HI roro, I don't think there are any laws regarding what age a child can babysit. But if it helps, I have a 14 year old and a 4 year old. The 14 year old is very mature and responsible but I would not leave her to babysit my 4 year old. I think it is an awful reponsiblity to thrust upon a child...

Froggy, they do indeed have three full seats!

Hi Clodaghk, I've recently bought lights from lighting-direct and I'm very pleased with them. They have a fantastic range and are much cheaper than buying in Ireland. They are great to deal with.

That sounds like a big and expensive job :(
