I called the child benefit section of social welfare and they gave it to me.

I've both bought and received gift cards from Smyth's recently - there are no transaction charges and I've never had any problems with thenm.

I've had the same problem, never got it to grow successfully outside. I've had a few plants on my kitchen window at different stages for varying amounts of time, never more than 6 weeks or so, can never get them to thrive.

Our kids (6 and 9) get a small treat after dinner, e.g. biscuit, treat sized bar etc. No fizzy drinks unless at parties, but in fairness when they do go to parties I let them have what they want. Our younger child got sweets at a much younger age than her older sibling, but I think that's a...

If you had customers details you could text them, and have a few days selling stuff from your house? I just got a text from a lady who sells children's clothes from a catalogue selling last years samples, got some excellent value.

There is a 4 bedroom detached house on Dennehys website for 385kEuro in Heron's Wood. That looks like pretty good value, so 3 bed semi's should be going for a lot less.

If you're going with Tesco, make sure you apply at least a few weeks before you need the money, they are beyond incompetent in the applications office. We ended up canceling our application for a loan with them after 2 weeks of them losing paperwork, not returning phonecalls etc.

Thanks everyone for your help. Will do more research, and will post if I find a free solution.

As far as I know the "text a parent" service charges a fee each time a parent receives a text. I was hoping to find a free service.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with sending multiple texts to a large group of people (400) on a regular basis - approx once/month? Any advice on the best software to do this? Thanks.

Adding to the posts here I had a very bad tesco loan experience also, more from sheer incompetence of the people working there than anything else. We returned application with all requested documents, including copies of our passports. They then decided they wanted a fax of my drivers licence...

We are lazy - every year we get the keycamp catalogue, google the name of any campsites we fancy and book it directly with them. Keycamp will have vetted the campsites so you will be safe with any of them.

My hairdresser in Carrigaline offers wine as well as coffee/tea so I can't imagine she would mind you bringing in champagne - might be too far out of town for you though...

If the price advertised was for a pair of lenses, not a single lens, I would personally go in on Monday with my receipt and demand an explanation...

If the price list is per lens, that would mean the price for the more expensive "high tech" pair of varifocals would be 290 euro, without coatings.

It can depend on your prescription also, or any coatings you may have purchased. Did the 275 euro include your frame? The price list may also be priced per individual lense?

I would ask the school what their advice is, and also what the average age will be in the class she will be in. The school my kids are in always advocates turning 4 before May when they are starting school. I have a 6 yr old, birthday in June, who started school when she was 5. There is a...

We got a pocket spring mattress with memory foam on top, absolutely love it, but it is definitely warmer than a regular mattress.

Thank you so much, that's exactly the information I needed. Good to hear about the France trips also, as we have done that for a few years with the estate, and the boot size was one of my concerns. I test drove a 2008 1.8 version yesterday and was happy enough with it, did notice the limited...

We have a tracker with Permanent TSB and they let us put in extra money each month in order to reduce the term of the mortgage. When you lodge the money they automatically put it into a credit account, and you have to then specify that you want it lodged into the principle of the loan. While...
