I love fishpond for its free postage, great prices and sometimes unusual gifts. I have bought presents, textbooks and novels. Most books arrive within the expected dates (sometimes before!). Most of my books come from the UK or US, so the postage time is definitely reasonable. Only one book I have bought came damaged (part of the back cover was cut/torn). It was a surprisingly easy to replace - fill in a form, print off a postage label from the computer, stick it over the original sticker and drop it in a post box.

The only problem is that you have to order a few weeks in advance of a date (and very early for xmas). However, that is the best policy when buying online anyway. I've had really good experiences with fishpond and always compare prices there first.

I had the worst experience with this cattery. Everything seemed lovely upon arrival of my beautiful cat, but when picking her up I discovered the careless attitude of the cattery. I had called to check how my kitty was going and they had said she was fine and eating well. However, when picking her up the staff asked me to get her out of their accommodation myself as she was very unhappy and hissing. She had not touched her food at all and obviously was very distressed in the cattery. Worst of all, she still would not eat once she was home and had to be taken to an emergency vets that night and was immediately placed in ICU for several days. After getting out of ICU, she still required several days of syringe feeding.

She was clearly unwell while staying in the cattery, yet the apparently caring staff either did not notice or did not care enough to get the vet to look over her. I'm extremely disappointed in the quality of this cattery and advise anyone looking to place their cat to avoid this cattery at all costs. Had my beautiful cat been in there any longer, I'm sure she would have died without any veterinary care.

One of the best yoga classes I've been to. 90 minute classes actually work out to great value. Mostly small classes, in a heated room and really nice atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good yoga instruction.

The best aspect is for newbies they offer a week free to attend any of their yoga classes for the price of one session. Really good value and allows you to find your yoga niche. If you find it isn't for you, nothing lost!

Approximate cost: $16-18 per 90mins

We went here for breakfast, and were nicely surprised. It was an amazing cooked breakfast. For about $8 I got two large pieces of toast, 4 pieces of bacon and two eggs (and they cook perfect runny yolks). Brilliant value in comparison to other cafe menu breakfasts. A lovely cooked weekend brekky treat. They also offer pretty good coffee and fresh squeezed juice. Service was ok, but it was fairly empty when we visited - but the food made up for it.

Approximate cost: $8-12

I have been to this restaurant a number of times. While I haven't eaten the steaks (don't like red meat), I know a few people who quite like them. I wasn't too impressed with the chicken burgers, but the Caesar salad I had was incredibly good! One of the best Caesar's I've had in fact. Some of the desserts are not too grand, but the big cup of icecream and choc cake is massive! Don't attempt it without 3+ people and a small dinner. The prices are a bit much, but at most I'd be able to get down a main and half a dessert - big portion sizes.

Approximate cost: $20

Have been here plenty of times and it is always good food. Their chicken, however you have it, is usually fanatastic. Have great lunch deals that are very filling. Good portion size and great value. Is a large establishment, but service is generally good.

Approximate cost: $8-20

I went here as I had a voucher for a special, but I didn't feel like it was really worth it. I had chips which I felt were average and their nuggets. I didn't try any of the burgers, so they might be good, but I was pretty disappointed in the chips as I had heard great things. The nuggets were average.

Textbookexchange is the ultimate in buying and selling second hand textbooks. Listing your own books and buying others is very easy and straightforward to do. The discounts are brilliant and the books great quality. The most work you'll have to do to buy or sell a book is put money into someone's account or go to the post office to post off a book. I love this place.

I used to only get my hair cut when I absolutely had to because I hated the experience. I always went round choosing a new hairdresser each time I had to face the dreaded scissors. I actually look forward to going back to Monash hairdressers (especially Mel) because the experience is pleasant and they've done exactly what I want with my hair. I don't have to worry about leaving looking bad, because it has never happened. I think they're brilliant at their job. And aren't overpriced!

Approximate cost: $40-60

I went here for a birthday celebration with four other people. The food was very good and looked just as great as it tasted. Slightly different and funky food tastes which go very well together- not the average restaurant stuff. Service was pretty good when I went. Decor is classy and can hold your interest for quite a while, especially good while waiting for your meal.
