I have had two dogs in my lifetime and our previous dog passed away at a grand old age just over 2 years ago, so yes, we are ready for a new one. Because we live here now we need a toy size due to living space. anyway, thanks for all the pro-dog concern and mini-lectures and advice and yes, all thos...

OK, this is probably a dumb question but: I want to get my son a dog for his birthday, and because he suffers from asthma a poodle is the best breed due to the hair/ fur thing. I also did a lot of research of various breeds and it seems to be a good 'fit' for our family and lifestyle. Trouble is, mo...

Hi, I finally talked my landlord into letting me get rid of some of the older furnishings in our condo. Unfortunately I had to agree to get rid of them myself and then 'replace' them when I leave. None of this is an issue, but I am not sure who I could call. Has anyone got a contact or number for so...

You may find the rent is more like 1800 for half of a condo apartment in areas as far out as Bukit Timah hill and dairyflat, same for the East Coast.

Also, check to see what it says about roll over or ren...

Hi I'm a kiwi living here. This is a great place for kids, very child and family friendly and domestic helpers are affordable either full or part time. The area you live in will be allowance dependant. The closer you live to the CBD the more expensive and often the smaller your house. Remember Singa...

You cannot do anything about the tax clearance. It will happen each time you change employer, no matter how much notice you give. So, there is nothing wrong with wanting to change jobs if you are not happy, but you must pay your taxes. When I changed employers I did the following, budgeted for the f...

Hi has anyone got any advice for me. I want to travel out of town for a few days, maybe ten, with my 6 year old, in the first week of the October break. I have tried using a travel agent but to be honest she seems to be of the opinion that I should bring her my itinerary and she will boook it. She h...
