    Furniture

    Buy them in the uk It can get quite expensive here and the quality for your dollar is sometimes poor. We brought a load of new stuff with us in the original boxes cos I worked in a furniture store at the time and only paid cost price, still wish I'd brought more tho. They say they have to be over 12mths old but to be honest they don't bother.

    Did the salt thing and it almost worked but it was a dried in stain, so I tried the napisan and the stain has gone. Stupid idea to put cream carpet in a rental, we have runners and rugs everywhere and still managed to spill wine on a small patch of uncovered carpet...nightmare

    Rental Assistance

    If you claim family assistance it should say on your letter (the one that says how much you are entitled to) under important information, it should say whether you are getting it or not. If unsure phone them and ask. I did check the website this morning and rent assistance is paid if you pay MORE than $192.50 per fortnight for private rented accom if you are a couple with kids. www.centrelink as previous link was no good.

    Rental Assistance

    Just been on the centrelink website and it says you are eligble for rent assistance if you pay rent of MORE than $192.50 per fortnight if you are a couple with dependant kids. Check out www.centrelinkrentassistance hope the link works I'm usually crap at this sort of thing.

    Rental Assistance

    When you apply for child benefit, which is means tested, they automatically see if you qualify for rent assistance, if you do it is paid fortnightly with your child benefits. I think you qualify if your rent is more than $350 a fortnight. We did not qualify so I'm sorry I can't tell you how much it would be.
  10. I am the only one who puts the roll on the holder and it's gotta come over the top and down the front, so, sorry but Mrs Tyke is 100% right. I also have a small bin in the toilet, well not the actual toilet, in the room and it has a forcefield round it that only I can penetrate.....amazing.
  11. Ask any firm you phone or email if they do back-loading as this can save quite a few pennies.
