Re: Cost of living sa

You'll do well on $70,000 a year. Now that my hubby is studying we scratch out an existence on less than $20k per year, and manage - only just. The biggest expenses here are electric, water...

Re: House in the UK

I've rented out my UK house for 3 years because I couldn't sell it prior to us moving. If people aren't buying, then people will rent. Agree with Kev - keep your rent low as is affordable for you...

Re: Same brand, different name...

Yeah, but Milupa is owned by Nutricia now. I read it in a nursing mag (I'm not a health nurse, but trying to work out why all the health nurses have been told to say "don't feed her formula"). ...

Re: Same brand, different name...

Re: Same brand, different name...

Aptamil back home was made by Nutrcia as was Cow and Gate, therefore, I guess it's Karicare.

Re: Same brand, different name...

HAMSTER FOOD = Weet-bix. Send it back to the sanitorium.

Re: Vash's 11-day update

They let us keep 50% of our food/milks, so whatever you need, if it has to be made up, then bring double!
