Sounds like you need to improve the drainage in that area.

Easing off the watering should help the problem.

I for one are glad Mr Dazzling has free time to impart his plethora of knowledge.

Keep it coming oh guru.

I have read all the postings.

I think…make the screens yourself is the best option. Easy to do, a skill you will use many times over in your life.

Screens also keep out annoying cat, which recalcitrant daughter owns, so I LOVE screens.

Hope you have a good night’s sleep.

Have you seen Kath and Kim at Fountain Gate shopping Centre ?

Perhaps you could build a house and just sell it.

Hi there

My Uni daughter lives in a college on campus. This costs me around $285 per week. She gets full board, and her room is cleaned once a week and sheets changed once a fortnight.

Internet is extra, as is phonecalls. She also has a phone in her room.

Just thought this might help you, Dannyboy, with your costings.

I have found this to be the most economical way for us to have her go to uni.

Would you get your students to sign a lease, Dannyboy ?

Is there a shortage of Uni accom. most of the students in my daughters college are OS.

Hi Marisa

You should find out if someone wants to remove the palm and relocate it. Depending on what sort of palm it is, they can be worth big bucks.

Not sure who does this, perhaps a google search.

Palms have a small rootball, so can be dug up.

Something for you to think about.

Cant imagine it being a fire risk.

I would like to know if the job was actually completed ?

Stop all this bickering and DEAL with the problem, find a SOLUTION and get on with your life.

In my experience, and I have built a few houses in my time, tradesmen always make a mess. Just deal with it and move on to happier times.

Five years down the track, I am still finding rubbish in the garden, buried in the soil that builders, tradesmen have left.

From a sensible MUM.

Perhaps a little glossory explaining the meanings of all the abbrevated terms, throughout the posts.

Like PPOR, CGT, and others.

Some of us are beginners !

Hi Dazzling

You can still spend time with your girls, send them emails, gifts, to show you are thinking of them. Make coming home a special treat, for them to plan for and get excited about. Talk to each one idividually and ask them questions about their interests.

Create happy memories.

Of coarse you must do the same with your wife.

Love reading your postings.

All the best to you and your family.

I might just add, a parent can be there physically, with the family, but that doesnt mean they are “beeing there” emotionally.

Your heart is in the right place.
