Thanks Sidestep. Will definitely give it a go, let's face it I can't make it any worse and it can only go bang once lol! Wish me luck

It's a HP Pavilion g6. It wont run start up repair and I just get a grey screen

Hi All, My laptop is sick and is in need of a doctor lol! Can anybody recommend a reliable (and reasonable) computer repair shop. I know there are loads about but I've been ripped off once before. Thanks

It does make you appreciate what you get from the NHS, I know it has it's faults but at least you don't need to worry about treatment being covered and if it isn't, affording it

We had to hire a caravan for 10 days before we left as the sale of our house went through quicker than expected, which actually made it easier. Hubby managed one last night down the pub with his friends, the kids had their friends over to the van for a day and went swimming etc, Hannah even managed a sleepover. As for me, my lovely friends threw me a surprise leaving bash at one of their houses which got very emotional once the wine kicked in lol! Didn't have anyone at the airport though as after all that we were completely wrung out emotionally and I don't think the kids could've taken and more. The way I look at it is you're only a day away. OK, it's quite an expensive day, but it is just a day. you'll get through it the way we all did. Just focus on the adventure ahead x

Cor! Cheese and pickle toasties, now your talking, that or cheese and Worcester sauce lol!. Perfect winter snackage

Thankfully I can get Yorkshire Tea in Coles and it's not that expensive and I have bought Marmite. I nearly caved the other day looking at the small bottle of Robinsons, but I had a word with myself and moved on lol. I hear Foodland in Osborne has big jars of Branston - I may have to investigate

You'd be surprised. A friend of my hubby is a cabbie in Yarmouth and he goes to the cash and carry, stocks up on the things people miss (decent tea bags, pickle, marmite etc) and sells them on ebay. He's raking it in lol! Btw, I know what you mean about clean sheet day, all the joy's been sucked out of it

Found this on ebay - someone's onto a good thing lol! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Lenor-Super-Concentrate-Fabric-Conditioner-Softener-GOLD-ORCHID-925ml-/171663379837?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27f7ef4d7d

Hi Tia, I know what you mean, I used to love my Bold Bubbles lol! Not been able to find any myself but you can get Comfort (I treat myself occasionally lol), also, Persil and Daz are here but they have different names (OMO & Fab). Sorry I can't be more help - Niki

I think we pay them $25 for gas & $58 for electric a fortnight. That's for four of us with a 12yr old who is constantly charging her devices

I found Origin really helpful, we pay fortnightly D/D and it was really easy to set up online. You could always use a comparison site if you wanted to. I know comparethemarket.com.au do energy comparisons, and it's free. Hope you get it sorted

Is it for Gas and Electric?

Hey Donna! Good luck with the move. We're only 10 minutes down the road in Largs Bay so if you fancy a coffee sometime give me a shout x

Lol! Thanks, we've been preparing ourselves for a sink bill lol! Found it on the ikea website and it's not too expensive. I'll probably feel loads better once it's done and out of the way ;-)

Thanks, we're renting directly from the Landlord so he'll be doing the inspection and he seems very reasonable. Panicking more about the sink than the state of the house. The kids bedrooms on the other hand.... Lol!

Help! Got our first rental inspection coming up and I have no idea what to expect and little man's had a mishap and cracked the bathroom sink!! I know I probably sound daft but I'm getting a bit panicky

My mum and stepdad always use the Premier Inn on Bath road as it's a stones throw to the airport and they run a shuttle bus to the terminals

I'm pretty sure that Trinity in Port Adelaide bulk bill adults. Hubby went for his hypertension meds and only had to pay for the prescription. So if you're that way they're worth a visit.

Promised the kids I'd take them out today if they tidied their rooms over the weekend - guess what, we're still indoors and I've just discovered the teabag burst in the cup! Pt pt pt pt!

We flew Emirates in September with two kids and had no problems - apart from some bags being left in Dubai which we saw as a blessing really as we arrived at 10pm and dragging two tired children and 6 suitcases through customs would've been hell lol! They cabbed them over to us the next day though which was fine

Ii know a lot of visas are electronic now so they should have all your details on the system : - )

Good luck guys. I remember that homeless feeling lol! Have a safe journey xx

Semaphore and West Lakes are lovely (not been to Hope Valley so can't comment on there) we live in Largs Bay which is just down the road from both and we love the area. Hope the house hunting goes well x

Not looking forward to my next trip. Got impacted wisdom teeth and I've got a feeling they'll have to come out surgically & hubby broke two teeth on a Haighs peppermint frog yesterday (teach him to keep it in the fridge lol) - dread to think what they'll charge for that. We all get a free check up, scale and polish once a year with our insurance so that'll keep the costs down for the kids at least
