I've got my two cats insured with Allianz. It costs €18.99 a month for both of them. One of the cats needed dentistry (don't laugh) recently, and it cost me €245.00 for the removal of three teeth, an anaesthetic and an overnight stay in the vets. The vet processed the claim for me and I...

I've a 100K in INBS and it is coming out tomorrow when the notice period is up. I am diversifying the funds as I am not totally comfortable with it being deposited in one place. €20K into Anglo at 6% €40K into NIB at 5.3% €25K left with INBS in a Freedom account should they ever demutualise...

Re: dunnes stores Value Card I got mine in the post today if this is any help.

Hi Box the Fox, I did go to Capetown in the end, with the Travel Department and had a ball. Despite it being early May when we went, it rained for the first two days (light drizzle) but it cleared up and we had 30 degree heat for the rest of the holiday. We got to do Robben Island and Table...

Some restaurants we been to and enjoyed: The Old Spaghetti Factory CN Tower Il Fornaro - at the harbour Richtree Restaurant - bit of everything - fab place.

On US flights with AL, you get your food but you have to pay for any drinks.

Havealaugh is correct. You cannot claim back your tax anymore. This has been in effect since approx April 2007. I was in Toronto in June 2007 and phoned the Canadian Refund Office (not correct title) and was told this scheme had been abolished.

With your mentality and attitude regarding your prospective buyer, if I were them, I would happily tell you where to stick your house. I don't mean to contravene current posting guidelines, but your attitude is appalling. I wouldn't buy from you. But good luck with your sale and your new car.

As a former employee of a Big 4 firm, I heard through the grapevine that bonuses have been slashed this year and accordingly all payrises. Chances are your pay rise will be minimal. Good luck with the new job.

Have travelled quite a bit but, no I haven't been to Oz and for some reason I don't understand, I have no desire to go.

Hi Just wondering if anyone would be able to provide me with information on the type of package you would receive if working for a charity in a management position. I have a second interview with a charity and have not been advised what the package will be, ie. VHI, pensions, annual leave...

I was offered one of these the other day. I took it that the card would be like a Dunnes value card / club card kind of thing. Until she asked for ID, which I didn't have with me. I quickly copped it was for another type of credit card. The hard sell was that if I got a CC card, I would get...

I was in St Petersburg in October 2007. Its a beautiful city. The Hermitage museum will take you a day to walk around. And even then you won't see everything. Try and get tickets for the Kirov ballet (Marinsky theatre) worth every penny - they are not cheap - but it is a fabulous thing to...

Don't know anything about the train Sorry! I was there last week and got the bus from the Port Authority at 9.15am and it took an hour to get to Woodbury. The cost was $40.00 return. I went on a Sunday so the traffic was pretty quiet. I also left it late in the evening to get the bus back...

I was there in January 2006 and the weather was nice and mild! Was there in March 2007 and the wind would cut the face off you. Do check the weather before you go.

Thank you for your reply BoxtheFox. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough. I am not hesitating to use them as I have travelled with them before and did not have any problems. I was specifically asking if anyone had gone to Capetown with them. I am going to be travelling on my own as my...

Am thinking of booking a trip to Capetown with the Travel Department in May. Has anyone specifically done this trip using the Travel Department? I have been to Boston and Beijing/Hong Kong with them before and had no complaints. I understand that this time of year will be SA autumn/winter...

Has anyone been to St Petersburg? I'm going for a week at the end of October and am just looking for any ideas on things to see/do, eating out and shopping. Many thanks
