Thank you for all the responses, some interesting food for thought there.

Hello, I would be very grateful if someone could clarify the best mechanism for annual gifting of €3,000 to a child. In simple terms - is it that I should simply set up a dedicated account (savings / investment etc) and transfer €3k in there annually or keep a spreadsheet that details that I am...

Hello Is anyone else experiencing problems with the new Irish Life online system for health insurance claims? Problems I am experiencing include: - online site saying claim has been paid and rebate not in bank account - a policy member missing so online claiming not possible - when putting...

Hello Would be very grateful for your advice please on the below two queries: Query 1: We are currently overpaying our mortgage, and have been since we started it in 2006. Consequently we have reduced the term from 30 years to about 10 remaining at this point. We are thinking of moving...

Mine came about as I could recognise pretty much any theme tune in an instant... now that everyone has a gazillion channels on the telly and we can fast forward the ads it's a bit harder though! (I wanted 'themetunegirl' but AAM limited me to one character less, hence themetunegal)...

Hello I have been using Fatcheese.ie, a website that gives cashback for online shopping, since November 2012 but have yet to receive any cashback. Whenever I make a purchase the transaction is logged but all cashback is listed as pending. Just wondering if anyone is in the same boat or...

Hello. I was recently looking for some hedging - trying to decide between laurel and photinia (red robin). I got a good quote from Woodside Nurseries in Aughrim, Co Wicklow - €2.75 per laurel and €4.50 for photinia. Cheapest rates I could find for the quality. (I've no connection to...

Hi I bought my first GHD in Peter Mark but after that became economically wise and bought online... Have bought from both: 1. 2. [broken link removed] You may ask why I have had to buy so many.... the answer is that the first (Peter Mark) one gave up after about 4 years so I bought a...

Hi All, As a commuter, I find this increase disgraceful. 50% increase bears no relationship whatsoever to current inflation rates and (in our carpark) no increased security or services. I have written a note to our Minister for Transport on the matter although I guess I may as well be...

Having been born in the same year as REM were established and having literally grown up with them, I'm really sad to see them call it a day. I think that they stayed true to themselves throughout their career, not being afraid to experiment and the consequent potential negative criticism. They...

I like this website for recommendations - you input your favorite books and it gives you suggestions based on this! [broken link removed]

Have used this site a number of times without any problems. Last order did arrived damaged though and a quick call to the company saw it being resent without any quibble.

Thanks byrnsey09 and elcato for the further info, appreciated.

Thanks for that really helpful info so-crates. Will check into it and update how I get on. Appreciate the feedback.

It's coming up as €160 per night. Slightly wide of hoped for price range. It may be that it'll come down in price closer to the time.

Thanks Lauren, that's great. Have just checked and its pricey for the nights we want to stay there but good as a back up! Thanks.

Update: Just spoke to a colleague who advised that Velvet Hotel is in the Manchester equivalent of Temple Bar so that rules that out! Would like to stay city centre (minus temple bar!). Thanks

Hello, Going to be spending a couple of days in Manchester in June and looking for a nice hotel (at least 4*) with parking. Anyone have any good recommendations? Have done a trawl of tripadvisor and Velvet Hotel looks nice but I'm slightly uncertain re it's location (Canal St) and its...
