    Where to stay in Nice

    I have just returned from Nice and stayed in an apartment. If you are staying for more than a few days this is a great choice. The company I uses is called Pebbles Nice. We had lovely apartment and the company were very professional to deal with.

    Connect Care

    As I started this post I should have got back with what I went with, I went with Connect Care 100 after much research as I wanted to keep all the benefits I had with Connect care but will have to pay 100 excess instead of 50 in the Connect care. We saved over 200 euro each not that much saving...

    Buying in Limerick

    If you go down the road of student accommodation you will find it much more time consuming I know I rent to them in Castletroy I am thinking of the cost of having someone available to your tenants when they call which can happen a lot e.g. when a light bulb blows!! Also the student would have...

    Buying in Limerick

    It very much depends where you buy in Limerick there is a glut of apartments in Limerick so rental yield is not great. If you have 50K sitting in the bank and you lived locally and you could deal with this yourself and it was in a 'good' rental area I would say go for it but since you don't live...

    why is limerick so far behind galway

    That's a first for me - I now have a new label 'not very classy'!! I have friends living and working in Galway and I put this to them. Their reply was 'you should be out and about in Galway on a weekend night and we will show you classy'.

    why is limerick so far behind galway

    In my opinion it's all because of the lack of jobs in Limerick. I am a 'blow in' to Limerick (lived in Dublin and outside Ireland before moving to Limerick) and if you have a job in Limerick you can have the best quality of life - houses affordable some great schools, wherever you live you are...

    Accommodation in Lanzarote with special needs son

    I agree with GM88 you will get better value out in Matagorda I have stayed in that area the last two times in Lanz. but it is very quiet and is not close enough to the strip to walk as you suggested (even though we did but being keen walkers at home every day anyway) we had a car when we were...

    August Wedding Invitation to Florence

    You will never pay as much for one either! I travel to Florence every year and fly into Pisa with Ryanair they have buses that take you to Florence or if you want to spend a day sight seeing in Pisa you can get a train to Florence. You can fly out of Cork or Dublin. Look up a site like Trivago...

    Investing in Limerick

    Clarcelt as you say even though you could buy a house for your budget in Elm Park I would not buy a house there. Oaklawns next door a much better estate but I doubt if you could buy a house with your budget in there not many come up for sale, I would say you would be paying at least 150K for one...

    Investing in Limerick

    I would seriously wonder why you would want to purchase a house as an investment in Limerick. This is not a put down for Limerick,in my eyes it's a great city. As a landlord in both Limerick and Dublin and buying my houses in Limerick back in early 90s they certainly haven't made money for me...

    Recommend resonably priced hotel central london

    Heathrow Express is very expensive as it's a private train. You can buy an oyster card at Heathrow and top it up with the amount of money you would spend getting the train and travel for at least 3 days around London with it. I think people get it if they are not used to tube when they first...

    Recommend resonably priced hotel central london

    Great links in from Croydon and great value hotels there you can be in Victoria station in 20 mins and frequent trains in and you can get underground at Victoria to any place in London. The Oyster card can be used from Croydon so no buying of tickets. If you fly into Gatwick you can be in...

    which Aid Agency is the best to give to?

    That is a hard one as if like me you want your money to go to the heart of the disaster without too much waste along the way. During the last disaster I sent it to Red Cross as the Aid agency that I usually donated to had sent me previous to this a big glossy magazine showing me what they were...

    My Health Insurance Renewal is due next month. I got a shock to find it had increased so much to €3,483.44 I know that had a lot to do that my son is now 21 and seems to have lost his student rate so has increased from just over €200 to €1,464.92 with Laya. My partner and I are on Health...
