Talk about personalised care. I love getting home after work and walking in to a place that smells lovely and all of my ironing done. I will never use another, it pays for me to pay a tiny bit more, especially that the service is so great. Also I know that I can trust this person because I've known them for 28 years.

This site is fantastic,it cost me nothing to join and at no time have they ever asked me to give them any of my banking details. I earn money for doing surveys and there's also a great room for networking as there are all different types of business on this site. One important thing I made sure that I entered my details correctly when I joined as rewardscentral pay via cheque.

Purchasing a debit card is best done via your local bank or at large stores like 7/11. I tried to do this via the website listed and found calls not returned and service non existent. Maybe this store had a purpose when prepaid debit cards were not so easily accessible.

I went to this hairdresser as they always seem so busy, so I thought I'd give them a go. The first time I went there it was fantastic 8/10, but then when I went back the hairdresser that I originally saw had left to have a child so I saw another hairdresser. The hair cut was nothing special and the hair colour was permanent which washed out in 9 days. I don't know what they are like now as that was a couple of years ago, but I won't be finding out. I don't mind paying the extra $$ for good do's but I'm not paying top dollar for what I consider " not worth it".

This vet has not only saved 1 of my pets life's but then took my other pet in immediately upon seeing he was suffering from a painful dental condition. They took him into immediate care whereas I had taken him to another vet ( so called community one) and they sent him home and set up an appointment for 7 days later. So when I went to the Kensington vets and they placed him as an emergency and his dental problem fixed the next day, I knew I had found a really caring & affordable vets . And guess what it was cheaper then the so called local community veterinary hospital.

The place was amazing, at first I thought it was just some crappy cafe, but it's really delicious Italian cuisine. I'm a vegetarian and there was quite a choice for me to select from and my partner who does eat meat was just as delighted with his meal as I was. Not often would I rave about a cafe, but it may be called a cafe but the meals are restaurant quality.

I went to this hairdresser as it looked fairly modern as was close to where I was working and made the appointment. The hairdresser understood what I wanted and was very good at understanding my wants. The only problem was that when things didn't go to well the atmosphere changed & it became my fault. However the owner then came over and sorted everything out and offered for me to go back there to have the colour re-done. I went back but I never got what I really wanted but I did get a fantastic haircut,it was the colour that didn't turn out to well..

I went to this accountant with my finances in a horrible mess, but this guy (Sam) really knew what he was doing and sorted things out for me without the usual stresses that comes with doing your taxes. He even recommended a great book-keeper that came to me and still does to this day to visit me, to do my books on a regular basis. I will never have to worry about tax time again. Sam has over 30 years experience and is so up to date with all the changes that the Tax Industry has, this is one guy that will beat the others on returns, service etc etc, he organises it all for me. I use to dread this time of year until I met this guy...
