This review is for Oscar's Tiling, Hampton Park VIC

verified email - 30 Jan 2008

Living in a old house the floors are very uneven we wanted to tile the kitchen and back porch area we had 2 tilers out who basically told me that we would have to rip up the floorboards and pour concrete to make the floors even which would be a very costly exercise not to mention messy (and having no kitchen with a 6.5 month old not a good idea!) last resort I contacted Oscar's.. Oscar himself came out had a look at the floor and said that he could do it no problems by laying cement sheeting to level the floor out (he did not even mention how old our house was or the fact the floors are very uneven) Oscar started the job 2 days later and was finished within a day and a half (originally said would take about 4 days) we are absoulutely very impressed with the work done..

This review is for Sandringham & District Memorial Hospital - Maternity, Sandringham VIC

I opted to have shared care and Sany Hospital, all the midwifes are the best!! Having an emergency c-section they were very caring and reassuring as it was our first baby if you plan on going to this hospital as a public patient book in as soon as possible as it is very popular. Another thing I loved was the food!!!

My daughter had to go back after been discharged for some therpay under the lights, being my first i did not know what to expect the lady in the special care nursery was fantastic and very reassuring.

Like most I am a very busy person one thing that really got me down about this branch was the waiting time, I was the first (and only) person standing in the queue with 2 tellers open it took about 5 mins to be called needing to make quick deposit i then spent another 5 mins telling the lady why I did not want a homeloan from them and that I was not interested.. By the time I got out of there i felt really frustrated...

My family and I are big eaters hence why we love coming here!! We have not had a problem with the staff and have always felt welcomed, having a 6 month old they are always happy to accomodate for a pram which is very hard now days!!

This review is for Safeway, Patterson Lakes VIC

verified email - 13 Jan 2008

having lived in the local area for almost 30 years I must say that we have the WORST safeway in Australia. The staff are not friendly, the fruit is always off and they never stock the same product week to week and are often out of the most basic essentials.. Oh, and the deli staff can't count when i ask for 5 rashers of bacon I don't mean 8 or 9.. I hope someone from safeway head office reads this... Bring on COLES!!!!!

Visiting alot of cafe's in my spare time I would have to say that the Blue Chair has the best customer service, GREAT coffee and fantastic food. Having a 6 month olf it is often very difficult to take a prams into most cafes but this one has plently of room and the staff are very welcoming!!

This review is for Inner Bath

verified email - 13 Jan 2008

I had a bath that had been resurfaced but it only lasted about 1 year until it started to rust I heard of inner bath through a friend so got them out to have a look at it. Basically inner bath inserted a custom made acrylic shell into my old bath making it look brand new! It took the installers approx 2 hours to fit and adhere the new insert I was able to use the bath 3 hours later with no toxic fumes, paint etc to worry about and best of all they cleaned up after themselves!!! So if you are looking for someone to revamp your bath or even your shower base you MUST ring Inner bath. Not only is the job guaranteed for 10 years BUT this would have to be one of the most friendly, efficient companies I have ever called..

Having a Mauritian background we love our curries, this is the place to get all your curry powders, ashur, pima etc.. Not to mention the wide range of cooking pots great if you need to cook for a large family!

This review is for Big W, Keysborough VIC

I orded some photo's on the big w website to be printed and sent to the Parkmore store this was late November 2007, included in my photos are my christmas photos that I send to family members in the front of the cards. The website stated that this service take upto 14 days (hence why I did it late November) It is now the 7th January 2008 and ... After numerous phone calls and eventually speaking to the manager (who sounded like he was 16 with NO customer service skills) he kept telling me that they must still be at head office in Sydney.... It is now the 8th January 2008 and I still have NOT received my photo's!!!!!!

This review is for Photos By Vicky Leon, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 06 Jan 2008

I recently had my 5 month old photographed by Vicky, at the time my daughter was very tired and perhaps a little grumpy I was very worried that when we did get the photo's that there would not be one smile.. Boy was I suprised there were alot of smiles & laughter... Vicky made my husband and i feel very comfortable it was a wonderful experience and not to mention the photos that we received were FANTASTIC better than what we had expected. If you are looking for some to capture your little ones i HIGHLY recommend Vicky Leon!!!!!
