I first tried sushi about 5 years ago and didn't like it at all. Times and the quality have changed and it no longer has me running in the opposite direction. I came here with my daughter (okay...she had maccas!) in the holidays and had the prawn and avocado and the smoked salmon and avocado. Both beautiful and fresh and I think they were $2.60 each. My lunch was cheaper than hers, anyway!
I had my daughter at St George. Unfortnately she was born at the beginning of January and they'd consolidated post-natal, ante-natal and geriatric wards into one. Wow. I had trouble getting my daughter to feed and it took five days for the breastfeeding guru to come along and teach me how to express so we could go home. Not a great rtart but within a month of leaving the hospital she decided that she was ready now, thankyou very much, and is now a beautiful healthy little girl.
I had ante-natal classes there beforehand and they were excellent. I made some lifelong friends.
I can't review the doctors cos I only saw the one in the delivery room.
I broke a hip a couple of years ago and spent a week in the P.A. I can see why people complain about getting sick in hospitals. The room was mopped once, my table (the one you eat your meals pff) was clened once and that was by a lovely nurse who said that it annoyed him how filthy they were. Toilets weren't cleaned at all. And what's the thing with Physio's? I had my operation at 1am, after waiting in the ambulance for five hours, only to have her drag me out of bed to try to walk! I threw up!
My family and workmates have been after me for ages to get a decent clener. I'm in a wheelchairand it's just getting too hard. So after reading the wonderful reviews on Womo I decided to give Bullet cleaners a ring. They did their first clean yesterday. I was at work but my neighbour let them in and watched in amazement at how thorough they were. My whole house is literally sparkling. I went and got takeaway for dinner last night cos I didn't want to spoil it. Next time I'm getting my windows done. I'll never use anyone else.
Approximate cost: $35
I was TOLD to go here by a new work colleague. He and his Lebanese family live nearby. We ordered the Meal platter for two and it was beautiful. Chicken and steak (both marinated), pita bread and all manner of salads and dips to accompany it. Will definitely return.
Approximate cost: $25 for 2 people
One of my workmates in Sydney took me there a few weeks ago with his family. I didn't know a lot about Lebanese food but I learnt. First up ... no booze. Second ... it's delicious. I loved the tabouleh (?), hoummus and falafel with the bread. It's just so rustic and uncomplicated. Beautiful.
I've come to the conclusion that having to wait 45 minutes for a hot chocolate is just plain dumb. Okay, they're delicious but why not expand to take the amount of people waiting into account?!
We have used Catering King many times for corporate functions. Their food is beautiful. As we are usually in the middle of an all day conference when we use them we order the finger food platters as it's more informal and is a bit more social. They've got a variety of hot and cold nibblies and they're delicious. Always freshly made and priced very competitively. Leigh is a godsend!
Bravehearts is a wonderful organisation. They have been to my daughters school,anually since she started. They tech kids about awareness of sexual abuse. Teach them about stranger danger and inappropriate behaviour and what to do if they're not feeling safe. My daughter's taken everything on board and I feel a lot more comfortable in the knowledge that she knows what's okay and what's not. It's confronting but a fact of life. Please, please get them to visit your kiddies schools.

These guys offer incredible service. I'm in a wheelchair and I get new tyres on-line as they don't seem to be available anywhere in OZ. They fit the tyres for me without any problem and I think it only cost me $18 last time. They don't blink an eye at the fact they'rte not going to make a big sale.
