We were taken upstairs - a dreadful staircase - to a table in a pokey corner where we nearly hit our heads on the ceiling. It's built to resemble a chalet. The pizza was very ordinary - not a lot of topping, and quite expensive. We had to order dessert twice and the water we asked for never came.

I have been going to Rod for over 20 years now. He is always thorough, efficient and very patient with my questions and concerns. He stocks a great range of frames and I can go in at any time to have my glasses adjusted by his helpful staff. He send out reminders too, when the next eye test is due.

Approximate cost: $Medicare on the spot for testing

Very efficient at checking my car in and very quick to fit the new tyres. They were able to work out a time that fitted in with my work commitments, which meant that I could only get the car there late in the afternoon.

The lady was too busy doing a photo shoot for the local paper to bother about her customers, and even asked me to move out of the way. Better to have arranged that when the shop was closed.
They also didn't know what a bead reamer was when I asked for one.

Approximate cost: $various

Last time we went to Spurs (as we often did after a movie) we were very disappointed at how it had gone downhill. Our steak was cold, and it was so noisy inside that we couldn't make ourselves heard to complain. The whole meal in general was very average! There are better steakhouses if you take the short drive to Campbelltown.

We went to this cinema as soon as it opened, and seniors ticket price was $5 for seniors - either National Seniors card or the government seniors card. Then suddenly they stopped taking National Seniors card. I contacted the manager and said we would be going back to Macarthur Square unless he would at least match their seniors club $8 ticket price. It took a few weeks, but he emailed back and agreed to do that with the National Seniors card as I had requested. Top marks for listening to your customers!! We went back.

Approximate cost: $8 for seniors

I was desperate to spoil myself on a rare day off and Replenish made every effort to fit me in at the last minute. I had a facial, head neck and shoulder massage, mini hand and foot massage, and it was just lovely. I joined the member club for the great specials and benefits they offer, and floated out of the salon.

Approximate cost: $140 for above

Only opened last Saturday, this Coles supermarket is light and spacious with very wide aisles and a huge variety of products. I did a weekly shop tonight and was very happy - they had all my regular items and meat, fruit and veg was all high quality. I love the deli section - so many choices. I have to complain about the kiddy trolleys though - VERY BAD IDEA. Dangerous for the little kids who don't yet have the "driving"skills, and for the adults they run into. We had a couple of collisions, and a few near misses. Guess who will be sued if a child (or adult) is hurt?

Friendly and professional staff always available to give personal assistance with your gym training. I love that I can be in and out in about 40 minutes, and get a good balanced workout in that time.

Sally keeps me mobile!! If you're into natural therapies and osteopathy, this is a very good choice. Both Sally and Nadine are friendly and welcoming, yet professional and competant. The clinic is always spotless, light and cheerful.

Approximate cost: $80
