    Banks - how annoying

    Them asking you to send copies of statements they previously sent to you sounds a bit ridiculous to be honest. They must have them on computer and if they don't they should!

    Dummy question: Excel addresses onto Envelopes/ labels

    Hi Jenni, You do this as a mail merge in Word. You select an excel spreadsheet as your data source. You can also print to a page full of labels. The process of doing it is different for different versions of Word. If you go in Word and look for help on Mail Merge you will be well on your...

    Is there such a gadget

    Hi, I am looking for a gadget that will plug into my sons TV in his bedroom and allow him to watch movies stored on my server in the office (spare bedroom) over Wi-Fi. I know the Playstation 3 does it, or a Computer or Laptop with TV Out but ideally, I would like a cut down version just for...

    Gas Prices Going Up, Real Estate Prices Going Down!

    There hasn't been such a good opportunity to pick up bargain properties in a very long time. Personally, I have three transactions going through at the moment, they were priced to sell even in this market and I went in considerably less than that. My advice is, fill your boots now and if...

    Fake Bankers Drafts

    Apart from waiting for it to clear, I don't think you can. You could try telephoning the issuing bank and ask them to validate it based on serial number etc but I am not sure if it would work. If it is stolen it could be on a list, if it is counterfeight a visual inspection could give clues...

    Stop panicking,the "recession" is over!

    my take on it is that if all the papers are full of doom and gloom, and have been for months, the one that prints RECESSION OVER will sell a few!

    Need to restrict my kids on the use of net!!!!!

    netnanny is excellent. I use it to limit kids to 1hr a day and also make sure they do not access porn, gambling, violence etc. It says it logs chat conversations but they dont use MSN so I can't say if it works or not.

    Consumer rights re flooring

    Of course not Richard. Maybe you could ask a reputable tiler or two to give you a written appraisal of the quality of the work. If the professionals agree, ask them for a quote to remove all the tiles, make good the floor and re-tile to a professional standard. Then issue a county court claim...

    Information on Companies and/or Directors

    I used to subscribe to marketsafe. I could search by name of director as many times as wanted, download CSV's and all sorts. Membership was about £200 for a year. (but they will try to get about £600 out of you if you don't know any better!). www.marketsafeuk.com

    Morgage - should I hand the keys back?

    P, Some good advice has been posted. Are you on repayment or interest only mortgage? Switching to interest only, if possible, could significantly reduce your payments. Are you on a fixed rate or have you reverted to SVR? If you are not sure you need to find out, as the rate can make a huge...

    Getting website noticed

    In light of red Evo's post, I will say, having not seen your website - if you are to succeed it will be essential that you have a professional looking website. If it looks homegrown, your chances probably are about the size of the pile of money redevo is willing to wager on your success...

    Getting website noticed

    words of encouragement! There will always be flash gits with lots of money for advertising etc but if you provide a consistently solid service, keep your promises and supply quality merchandise with fair prices I am sure you will succeed. Thats not to say it will necessarily be easy though...
