    Front door

    Ok lads, I'm currently looking at getting my front door changed to improve security and energy saving. From initial research, a composite door seems to be both secure and energy efficient. "Palladio" appear to be a popular type of them. Does anyone have anything to contribute on this...

    Healthy dinner recipes

    I'm trying to cut back on red meat, pasta and 'bad' carbs and try and have as much veg as possible. It's being going well so far and I've not really gone astray. I'm running out of ideas for dinners though. So far I've made chicken curry with own spices and yoghurt. Chicken stir fry with...

    What sport did you get your kids to try?

    I have a son who is turning 5 and there is loads of choice with regard to sports. GAA, soccer and rugby have the best facilities. It's hard to do it all and difficult to assess what he actually enjoys at this young age. I think one indoor sport is important as well to keep active during the...

    Home heating

    I got myself a gaff there at the start of the summer. It's a 2 storey detached with a C3 BER so it was grand during the summer. It is GFCH and in fairness it's not too cold at all.

    Websites for last minute holidays

    Back pain.

    I woke up about 3 weeks ago with a very stiff lower back. It hasn't really got any worse or much better really. Anytime I've had something similar in the past it only lasted a day or two but I can't shake this one off. Where would you recommend I go to get it sorted? Physio, chiropractor...

    Did anyone count...

    how many times "I suppose" was said by the GAA lads last night on the Late Late. I think they must have had a bet on to see how many times they could get it into their interview. I suppose Lar Corbett won.
