I have used Gumtree a few times to sell some household items with great success. The people I dealt with were courteous and we were both happy with the outcome of using Gumtree. I will absolutely use it again when cleaning out my cupboards!

The pool at the Diggers is a great place to keep fit when the weather outside is not shining.....The aqua aerobics classes are great fun and contrary to popular belief....are a serious whole body workout. Love it! Just wish they would schedule more classes :)

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for StrawberryNET.com, Sydney NSW

I've used Strawberrynet many times and am very impressed with their service. My products arrive quickly, well packaged and have always been correct. I have purchased skincare and makeup products, but would probably not risk perfume as I prefer to buy from a store where I know there is a quick turnover and that the perfume has been stored out of direct lighting to make sure it's really fresh.
Well done, Strawberrynet, you provide a great service and refreshingly competitive pricing.

This review is for Accent Blinds, Alexandria NSW

5 months ago, I accepted a quote for Accent blinds to install Plantation Shutters throughout my house. After paying my 50% deposit, I assumed that within a reasonable time I would have lovely new shutters in my home. How wrong I was...
After providing the company with the Dulux standard colour that I had paid an additional $300 to have, my nightmare began.
Accent blinds failed to begin making my shutters, instead continued, for the next 4 MONTHS to ring me to enquire as to what colour I had chosen. They even insisted that I paint a piece of timber with a sample of the colour chosen (remembering here, that the colour chosen was one of Dulux's most popular colous...Antique White, and easily checked at ANY hardware store.) This sample was requested 6 weeks after production was supposed to have begun.
This total shamble continued with Accent Blinds reassuring me for months that they were ready to begin production on my shutters, and foolishly I believed that they would be able to complete the order.
Finally they ASSURED that my shutters were only 8 weeks away. After waiting another 4 weeks......unbelievably they called AGAIN to check on the colour and to ask me to provide another colour match and clearly had again failed to start production on my order!!!!!
The number of hours that I have wasted dealing with a completely inept company are too many to count. The number of times I was interupted at work are too numerous to admit to. The stress that dealing with Accent Blinds has caused has been immense. I have completely renovated a whole house in the time that Accent Blinds have taken to do .... NOTHING.
PLEASE be warned. This company are unable to produce the goods that they promise, dealing with them will cause you tremendous stress, you will need to make 6 or 7 calls each time you need to speak to your rep as they don't return your calls, and after all that you probably won't have any goods to show for all the time, money and effort you have invested. My advice is to ABSOLUTELY look elsewhere for your plantation shutters and save yourself a nightmare experience.

Approximate cost: $5,500

Yum,yum,yum......true italian style pizza with top quality ingredients. finished off with a melt in the mouth panna cotta and chilled limoncello....what a night!
fab location also, pre's before at the newly renovated east village...and a great atmosphere with universal and other restaurants sharing the courtyard.

This review is for Ritz Cinema, Randwick NSW

Love this place....good value, old style charm and a good choc top! Only suggestion is that they get in an expert to revamp the cocktail area and teach the staff how to have a bit of bar-service style. It's such a great idea to have, but it just misses the mark for atmosphere and coolness.

This review is for Thai Terrific, Randwick NSW

If you are looking for a fast and friendly Thai restaurant near the movies and want to be sure that the food is consistently good....go no further than Thai Terrific. The girls on table service are really sweet and friendly too.

Great to have a local place that is bringing the small bar feel to Randwick. Good choice of tapas and vino and a friendly, casual vibe. Nice work, guys :)

This review is for Characters Haircutters, Randwick NSW

verified email - 31 Mar 2012

I have been going to Character's for years and love the professional but friendly service that i receive each time. Appointments run to clockwork and I have never been disappointed with either the cut, colour or blowdry that I have received. A topnotch family owned business at excellent prices.

This review is for Chairman Mao Chinese Restaurant, Kensington NSW

A Chinese dining experience like nothing you have been to before.....be brave and let the waiter guide you as the dishes are very unusual. Not for your typical sweet and sour pork devotee.
