  1. Hi, It will be harder to find but they are definitely out there. Be careful though when it does say they allow pets.... this may be the case...but they may only allow them to live outside. Before you take on a rental that allows pets, double check the conditions, because if you allow your pets to be in the house and they are supposed to be outside, and landlord or agent find out, you will be breaking the conditions of your lease. Its common practice out here for pets to live outside rather than in the home....something we dont tend to be like in the UK.
  2. Hi, the roof bars are now sold. thank u
  3. I should have said that they fit onto existing roof rails. They were on our pajero.
  4. Yes, your right Sally about being on P 1's longer with fines etc...That happened to Hannah, think she had another 6 mnths added. Abbie has her final drive this weekend, so not long till another one on the road!!! Scary stuff!
  5. My husband has his eye on yet another bike, but has to sell his first. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/happy-valley/motorcycles/yamaha-xt660x/1004697514
  6. I have found Coles Insurance to be really competitive recently. I needed to put my daughter on our insurance as a learner, and unlike others who would bump the premium up big time, they didnt, it was minimal
  7. We're with petplan...all good so far, but yes they do take a while to process claims. Last one took nearly a month!
  8. I'm looking for someone to mow our front office lawns on a regular basis. We are on the Goodwood road in Cumberland Park, so if anyone out there with their own gardening/lawn mowing business is interested...please PM me. Thanks
  9. Strange as our OSHC is open pupil free days...only time it shuts is 2 weeks over xmas hols, which i think is fair enough
  10. Playing for school is a good start! There a a few clubs around that arent too far away from Glenelg. My son plays U13 for Cumberland Park. http://www.cumberlandunited.com.au/main.asp There is also Plympton Bulldogs...and Cove FC..
  11. Thanks everyone. yea i read the lake wont be blue!! My son is trialing for the state country soccer championships being held there that weekend, so we've been advised to book accommodation asap, as likely to be booked out!
  12. Any recommendations please? May need to be there for a couple of days in August. Thanks
  13. SBS are...only finals and a few matches....but regular highlights show http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/news/1096357/sbs-to-broadcast-uefa-euro-2012
  14. Just a word of caution, most high schools will have strict zoning procedures in place. I know that my kids school (Reynella east) has for their high school places.
  15. Still waiting for my parents to call me...been nearly 6.5 years now!!! I used to phone them, but have given up now...occassionally i got the odd 1 or 2 line email, but thats it. I used to send pics regularly but i got moaned out that it clogged up their emails (couldnt be bothered to get broadband, said their internet usage didnt warrant paying out for broadband) LOL. and trust me they are not poor! Really cant be bothered anymore to be perfectly honest! Dont think i've had any contact now for couple of years? Sad really when you think my kids are their only grandchildren...
  16. Wow...23 and coming out on your own! Good for you! I might be able to help you...will msg you
  17. Do you know anyone here already that could view a property for you? I did this for friends and the agent was happy to accept me viewing on their behalf.
  18. Diane, is your daughter currently in Year 12? If so then you will get this bonus (but only if entitled to FTB part A). So basically you will be getting the same but in June, instead of claiming your expenses against your tax in July for the current tax year 2011-2012. I'm not quite sure why you are saying that 50% comes to alot more than $800? The current system is as follows You can claim 50% of eligible education expenses up to the maximum amounts. For the 2010–11 financial year, the maximum amounts are: $794 for each primary school child. You can claim a maximum refund of $397 for each primary school child you have, and $1,588 for each secondary school child. You can claim a maximum refund of $794 for each secondary school child. So you would have only been able to claim a max of $794 anyway. Of course the allowances for 2011-2012 were slightly more...but not a great difference. You can of course 'pool' together all your kids allowances to claim a big purchase such as a computer etc... I have no idea how this effects those of you who had children leave school in december (currently half way through this financial year)...but of course for those of you who have kids leaving this December, i assume will not be able to claim anything as the ETR will be abolished

    Christies Beach

    mmm....dont think you will find that drug taking/addicts is more in Christies Beach than anyone else. I see your signature is Reynella...i live in Happy Valley, and being the mother of a teenage and adult daughter, i can tell you that the drug culture is thriving in our area just as much as anywhere else...dont be fooled into thinking its anyworse in an area that is deemed to be less desirable.
