okay OP, people have helped me before here, and I may be able to help someone for a change. we sold our house this year. when it came to the engineers report of the purchaser, it showed that the drains needed to be replaced. in fact, it was slightly more complicated because one of the drains...

OP, you're definitely doing something wrong, I'm afraid. i earn 51,000. thursday i got my fortnightly cheque and it is exactly €1145.08 so that would be about €2350 a month. I'm paying extra into pension. My wife earns almost exactly the same. So were are in roughly the same boat as you. We...

Cork City, 1.25%+ vat (no negotiating), Marketing was €325 or €375 I can't remember which. Don't want to mention the firm, in case he doesn't want me to, but it wasn't Sherry Fitz but it wasn't a completely independent operator either.

yeah, the estate agent said that the reason we went sale agreed was because we were realistic. i do think that the purchaser did well too. I bought nearly 8 years ago for 190K. spent 25K on extension and renovation. so effectively spent 215K. So you could say we made a loss of 15K, I suppose...

just wondering if any of you are in the process of selling? Yes, my wife and myself How long did it take from sign/ad going up to sale agreed. Seven weeks Did you have many views? About 20 or so Did you get your asking price,or how many price drops did you have to endure. Asking price between...

update from OP Thanks all, Just to answer a few things and update you. His GP is not Mary's GP or my GP and 6 months ago, he would not talk to either myself or Mary about "his patient". On the idea of bringing him to A and E and leaving him there, I know that I couldn't do it Mary. She would...

Thanks so far. I did go to the guards about the fraudsters. In fairness to them, they were very concerned, but there was little that they could do due to the lack of details eg. no car reg number, vague description etc. They did tell me that it was far from an isolated incident! I'll...

I live in Cork City Centre in a former corporation housing estate of 6 houses. My next door neighbour Mary is 95 and is the most gentle and kind person. Her sister died in childbirth and she raised her son as if he was her own. He is now in his late 70s and has serious dementia at this stage...

We are getting married in June. I have a mortage of 200K My wife-to-be has a bit more than that amount on deposit (from sale of her house two years ago) We have decided with all of the uncertainty around safety of her deposits etc., that we want to pay off most of the mortgage on what will be...

Lets say that an institution (or credit union) goes belly-up. The government have guaranteed your deposits but has there been any indication as to how long it would take to pay us these lost deposits? If, we lost our money in a credit union, could it technically be 10 or 20 years before the...

myself and my friend set up a company earlier this year and have just completed our first return. However, we have never traded, made no purchases and made no sales. We have no creditors or debtors. We have basically done nothing but now want to wrap things up in the most efficient and cost...

Friends of my parents sold their house just over two years ago. They weren't happy with where they moved (renting overseas) and have just bought back their old house. It has been underpinned, re-wired, new roof, new kitchen and has been completed re-decorated and re-modernised. But wait for...

Re: St. Lucia Hi Rosinsky, I have recently returned from living in St. Lucia. PM if you like. To say that "Rape and murder of tourists at least once a month" is just made up lies. There has been far more attacks on tourists in Ireland than in St. Lucia. There has not been a random murder...

We are currently living overseas but are getting a bit worried by what we read on the net and in the Irish papers online. Here's our story: (both Irish, on career break from Irish jobs) Me: I have a €190,000 mortgage on my house in Ireland with "Bank of Ireland Mortgage Bank" Partner: Sold...

If the mod wants to move this to another section, please do. Here's our story: Me: I have a €190,000 mortgage on my house that was valued at €400,000 last year. Maybe closer to €320,000 now looking at sales in neighbourhood. Partner: Sold her house October 06, and has since had the €300,000+...

Hey all who advised me a few months ago, Just to update you, we had a meeting with our local enterprise board in July and made a little presentation. Subsequently, we made an application and have been awarded the grant for €5000 plus the use of an 'expert' for two and a half hours. We have...

ants are efficient and parrots will answer your questions.

ha ha gearoid. the people at small-life are the efficient ones. sorry.

I have bought insects in Ireland from www.small-life.co.uk. they are very efficient and will also answer your questions. If you want anything unusual, you'll have to get them sent to a UK address or collect them. At the moment, I live in St. Lucia in the West Indies and we have African Giant...
