Even though the pub changed hands half way through the year the menu has stayed the same and the service is just as good - maybe even better. It takes forever to get your lunch on Friday, but its worth it in the end. No real drink specials, but still a good time out.

Approximate cost: $16

I have never had a bad haircut here, because if I'm not happy with the result the hairdresser will fix it! Its a really lovely place to have a chat and sit - real old school beauty shop style. The products are great and colour range is huge.

Approximate cost: $80

This is the most delicous pizza I have had in Melbourne. And its so cheap and delivery is free! I still go back even though I've moved really fara away! They also have a great home-made chocolate mousse which is fantastic.

Approximate cost: $10

The Crumpler website is so much fun and also gives all the information you could possibly need. It was much easier for me than going to a store, but the most amazing thing was that the parcel arrived the very next day. I also had great follow-up from Crumpler confirming the address which I thought was really professional

Approximate cost: $150

The roses delivered were absolutly beautiful, but then they would want to be because they were so very expensive. I called up to change the message in the card and the service was really friendly, even though it was too late and they couldn't do it. But I was horrified when I saw the card - it was scrawled out in the worst handwriting possible. It was so very disappointing.

Approximate cost: $100

This place is always too busy and all the good movies are always out. The service is very slow and not very friendly. The layout is confusing and hard to get in and out quickly. Lastly, the rental costs are too high and so are the late fees

This video store always still has some good movies late on a Saturday night and they have really good prices including good mid-week speacials but also good specials on the weekend. They have a good range of TV on DVD and also great pop-corn!

I never have any idea what I want to do with my hair so I can always just go in and know that they will do something great. It is a posh salon but the prices are not too huge and my favourite thing is they don't force you to buy the product like so many places do.

Approximate cost: $70

This restaurant used to be The Planet, and now it has a much better vibe and larger menu. The dishes are a little hit and miss - risotto hit, steak huge miss, but the service is cheery and they're happy to leave you alone to chat.

Approximate cost: $16

The brands this store have a really good, and they have a fantastic range for such a small shop. Also the service is fantastic - I had to exchange a jumper for my partner twice to get the right size and the ladies were really lovely about it - no questions asked.
