Hi I always seem to have short grey hairs under my fringe even shortly after getting my highlights. They seem to just appear. Does anyone know if there is something that I could use to keep me going until I get my highlights done again? Something like a pen thingy rather than a box colour...

Hi I need to get a replacement key & transponder for our Toyota Landcruiser. Any ideas where I should go to get this? I'm thinking that the car dealers could be expensive? regards JD

Thank you all so much for your replies. I feel a little relieved after reading them. I think I'll get onto the planning dept and enquire in a general way if pp is needed to widen an entrance to a house to get cars in more easily. The last thing I want to do is to have us knock the wall down. JD

Hi All We've just realised that we've made a stupid mistake. We knocked down a pillar outside our garden and built it back up again further to the left so that we could fit our cars in properly. My friend in work told me that we should have got planning permission for this. I know I...

Thank you for your comments. I'm going out now to have a look and will water and feed them so hopefully they'll be ok. There are a couple of dogs and cats in the area alright and that could be it as you say. I'll keep an eye on it. I'm getting into this gardening lark now...never was into...

I'm sure I looked at my flowers in my south facing front garden last week and all was well. Today I see that my rose bush looks as if it has died and my fern type plant is a brittle and dry as ever. Any advice would be appreciated - are they a lost cause do you think? It's funny how they have...

why does the title refer to a washing machine instead of a dishwasher?

I take your point Mr Man. Never thought of it that way and I always wondered why the EA didn't tell me. Who knows. I took the quick and easy option to try to ensure less hassle for myself as the process is stressful enough as it is.

I told the estate agent that I wanted a quick sale and that I would be more than happy if I got the asking price. The man offered the asking price officially and then offered it again when he knocked on my door. He wasn't really getting a soft sale then I don't think? Maybe he had someone else...

That sounds like a plan to me. You're over-paying your mortgage and this will knock years off the term if you keep paying the amount you're paying and the rates don't go up too much! I've 4.85% fixed for another year and wish I could do what you're doing.

I know this is a generalisation but I don't trust estate agents. I had 2 bad experiences when I was selling one house and trying to buy another house in the height of the Celtic Tiger (if that means anything). Regarding the sale of my old house: I had viewings and assumed that no-one was...

Many thanks for all your comments. I'm with AIB and they're allowing me go to weekly repayments so I'll do that...every little helps. I'll try overpay my mortgage when I get out of my fixed rate in April 2011.

Hi I'm thinking of changing from paying my mortgage from monthly to weekly because someone told me that you pay it off quicker that way (?) I tried to do the calcuation comparing monthly payments to weekly payments over say the term of the mortgage but I'm only getting a difference of approx...

Hi/ I'm wondering if I can change paying my mortgage from monthly to weekly or fortnightly if I am on fixed rate? I know the more repayments you make means that you end up paying less interest and I have one more year left on fixed. thanks

Hi. Does anyone know when Flash Forward is back on again?

Wanted to give you an update on this. I rang my current broker (Glennons). My current insurance is with Axa and they only give a max of 4 years.

which bank is offering you the tracker?

Hi Wondering if you could help me. I've never claimed against my car insurance at all. Got my renewal form in the post with the NCD statement which shows 4 years without a claim. This is the same number of years as the NCD certificate for last year. Hope this isn't a silly question but I...

Thank you everyone for your very informative replies. Much appreciated. J
