Re: quotes for a fitted kitchen in a new build: varying 20-28k, does this sound right Doesnt sound too unreasonable for what you are asking for. Granite costs approx €1k per sq metre so that automatically adds a large portion - it would have cost us an extra 5k to get granite so we had to...

Re: Kitchens Kitchens Kitchen!!! Hi Secman, just wondering are these related to Cosmic Kitchens in Naas? How have you found them in terms of service & quality? Currently getting quotes & these are quite competitive

Hi, was going to go with slates direct but roofer said that the slates break easily & asked that we look at some other options. Going with Capco now.......yes expensive but lovely slates & good quality so will be less wastage Incidently, the architect has requested that the slates be...

Hi, would be interested in the feedback on hob in island - we are a bit short of wallspace & considering hob in island. Only real concern is that stuff could be knocked off hob easier.....?

Think you need to have a discussion about finances. I used to earn less than hubbie & so I contributed less to joint expenses - I earned 1/2 what he did so I contributed 1/2 what he did. Now we are earning the same we both pay the same, in a few years I will prob earn more & will contribute...

Re: Why do banks close on bank holidays?? Yes but sometimes you need to lodge a cheque/get a bank draft/meet with staff to get loan etc. I agree it is a lot easier these days & I do 99% of my banking on line but some times you just need to go in.................... Think it would be good...

ah ok I see. Well i would not recommend the bamboo after what happened ours. Defo either plaster it, or why not plant some nice climbing plants up it - clematis etc.

Was in the same position - looking at pros and cons of Direct Labour Vs Contractor............very tempted to go down DL route becuase of savings but really I don't have a clue about building. Decision was made when we got a really competative quote of €85 sq foot for builders finish from a...

Hi Marvin do a 10ft wide double sliding patio door (2 fixed panes on either side) - think that they even go up the the 12ft size. Look fab. With Marvin though, you need to build your openings to their standard sizes so if you have already built openings then not really an option.

We put some up 2 years ago but it has all come down this winter with all the wind etc & looks pretty crap. I would recommend planting a laurel hedge or something for a longer term solution...................or going halves with next door neighbour and building solid wall for longer term! o...

With planning they will try to put you off at any turn..........you need to be able to fight them on every detail................ download a copy of the county development plan & read it , highlight any arguments from it in support of your case. It is disappointing that by being honest you are...

going for wood or not - depends on plans for flooring windows also. if you have wood floors/windows/doors/architrave/skirting/stairs/furniture ..........mayb a bit of overkill on the wood front. I think a wooden stairs is lovely though. We are thinking of going for the off white painted...

Omg you must be old - by the time I was going there we were calling it Njinskys!!

Re: Prison Warden any ideas Moneys not bad considering you don't need any qualification to get in. although I believe they are starting on quite low wages & they are 'training'. Quite a boring job & there is a risk of attack but it all depends on what you are currently working at...

I wouldnt go for those apartments in Brownstown - always fights outside Rising Sun etc - not a very nice area. If I had to choose between Kildare town & Brownstown I would defo go with Kildare. There is nothing in Brownstown & its basically a kip.

following on from this - is there a point where an accountant can get a life? I accepted the overtime & crap when I was training - means to an end & thought short term could handle it...............but at what point do the hours start getting better? Are there any accountants who get away with...

It doesnt really matter what you are currently on - what matters is what you are looking for...............if you say you are looking for X then that is what the recruitment agency is going to be using as a basis for seeing if certain jobs suit you. There is no need to discuss your current...

Protocol were made the stockist for Bridgette Moore dresses after she moved to the states - they were based on georges street. Not sure if they are still open though - I was there 4 years ago!

I don't think that your wife needs to change name on bank account - she just needs to show her marriage cert to show that the cheque is meant for her - I can understand their need for this. Its simple enough.

I have to say that while I see your point, the use of a recruitment agency is probably your best bet. I know that when I was looking for a job there was very little point in looking at newspapers & even on websites it took a lot of time to filter through all the different jobs - with the...
