Hi I am doing some bookkeeping for last year, and I have a question - Most of our income in is US$. A lot of our expenses are also in $, and some in €. How do I go about filing this? For some expenses paid by credit card or PayPal, I have just used the € amount on the statement, but this...

Ok, so lets see if I can explain myself clearly.. I have been unemployed for 5 months now, and will get some Jobseekers Benefit until the end of October. My husband is self-employed, sole-trader, no employees. I spoke to the Social Welfare Office, and said that I would be working with my...

I really enjoyed working with Jennifer at http://laughingliondesign.net/ We were also able to get help from the local enterprise board for website design - worth looking in to. Nicola

Well done your husband! I would appreciate it if you would let me know how it goes & what I can expect!

Sorry if this has been covered already - I searched for "cso" but it only came up with posts relating to the 2006 survey.. Has anyone been asked for an interview for the current available jobs? I passed to the interview stage, but they said there are so many applicants that they are taking...

And I finally get to collect it tomorrow :-)

Just wondering what the waiting times are out there in different parts of the country at the moment? I am in Westmeath - this is now my 13th week since filling in all the paperwork for Jobseekers Benefit. I have asked about it a few times, and basically the answer is "we are really busy"...

Re: Social Welfare - customer service?? No matter how busy people are, there is no excuse for rudeness (as previous posters have experienced) or lack of knowledge about your job. I have worked in a shop for almost 5 years - I have NEVER once been rude to my customers - no matter how long the...

Re: Social Welfare - customer service?? I also had a very bad impression at my first visit to the SW office on Monday. Firstly, the woman who dealt with me didn't know about the new amounts of benefit from January 2009 - I had to tell her, and then she asked me accusingly - "How did you know...

Re: Unemployed Thanks for your replies. Yes, the Community Welfare Officer does work out of the hospital, so that's probably what she meant! Should I have got some documentation saying that I have signed on? I didn't get any paperwork from them at all?

Today is my first day of being unemployed - ever! A few things have come up that I wonder about .. I was employed from 1/1/07 to 31/1/09. So I figured I was entitled to redundancy. I met with the shop's accountant (the shop where I was employed), and she said they weren't going to make a...

Thank you for the replies - I had a suspicion that I wouldnt get the tax credits... NickleIckle

If I were to be registered as an employee of my husband who is self employed (and actually work for him, of course!) - does this affect tax credits in a different way than if I were employed by someone else? Would I still get all my PRSI benefits, and PRSI tax credit at the end of the year...

Re: RAF Great Coat - WANTED!! Thanks so much - am located in Athlone, but will probably be in Dublin at some point. Do you have any names or addresses or vintage stores I can look up?

Strange one this - some family are coming over to visit from the US, and my brother-in-law is looking for an RAF Great Coat in a size 40... Any ideas where he can get one?! NickleIckle

Still along the photo lines - you could make up a "photobook" and get it printed. There are loads of companies that do that online - shuterfly, blurb etc. I have done it a few times & it looks great. You can add your own captions, poems, dates and so on. NickleIckle

We got married almost 7 years ago in America. My sister & her husband live over there, so they could help with the arrangements. We have a very small (6 guests!) wedding outside in the garden of an old inn (BIG plus with weddings abroad is that you can pick a place that is almost guarenteed...

Re: Washing Powder Scoop Thanks for all the suggestions! I will try the Persil link, and in the meantime use a plastic cup! Nicola

I am trying to find a scoop for measuring out my washing powder!! You can go onto various websites and ask them to send you one, but they dont apply to Ireland. I have phoned the number on the back of the Tesco washing powder that I use where it says you can ask them to send you a scoop, but...
