My dog ate my new shoes. Both pairs. And my other favourite pair of shoes. It's probably karma for rubbing my amazing bargains in the face of all my one blog readers.I had to go to La Trobe Uni with my mangled shoes on. It wasn't noticeable, really, thank God, but I'm annoyed nonetheless. But why was I at La Trobe, I hear you ask? Surely young girls like myself, barely into VCE, are accepted into university? Well I'll tell you why. It was 'Experience La Trobe Day'. And what is THAT, I hear you ask, full of fascination and suspense? Well, it's a day when 'prospective students' currently enrolled in years 10, 11 or 12 spend a day at La Trobe attending three lectures of their choice, relating to university life and the subjects they're interested in studying. I personally chose lectures on an Arts degree, a Law degree and a lecture talking about Creative Arts, Media Studies and Journalism.I went with Elissa, naturally. I actually think she's the only one of my friends who would

For the vast majority of people October 1st every year has no particular significance. In fact it’s just another day of the year. For Solicitors and legal professionals in the UK though the date is a little more memorable.

So with their very livelihood dependant on an insurance policy it seems with summer (yeah right!) now upon us a few signs that the Solicitor Insurance season is under way have started to show.Solicitor Insurance season is with us reason 1 – Go to your favourite search engine (Google, Yahoo, MSN, ASK etc) and type in Insurance Solicitor (according to Yahoo in May 2007 this was the most typed in phrase or keywords for Solicitor Professional Indemnity or Insurance for Solicitors).What you’ll find is a whole host of insurance companies all advertising or promoting their facilities for the current season. Insurance brokers and

There are many historic dates in history ranging from 14 February for lovers to 25 December for Christians and lovers of buying and receiving presents.So what about 1 October? And why is October 1st significant when it comes to planes, trains and lawyers?Well let’s start with the planes as on 1 October in 1881 the American Engineer and aviation pioneer William Edward Boeing was born in Detroit, Michigan. The name Boeing remains one of the most recognizable throughout the aviation world even now over half a century since his death.So what about the trains then? And why is October 1 such an important date in the railway world? This time we have to go back to just October 1st 1964 which is when the world’s first high speed railway, the Tokaido Shinkansen (or the Japanese Bullet train), opened between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka. By it’s 40th anniversary in 2004 over 4.16 billion passengers had traveled on the Tokaido route and it today remains the world’s most heavily traveled railway ro

We’ve been reduced to using the vendor’s solicitor for the purchase of the freehold and man is this guy slow. He doesn’t think or work like you or I. When we have a bank holiday he warns us the previous week that the following week is a short week, with a great big dosage of a hint, that because it will be one day shy of a 5 day week then don’t expect much to happen. If I pointed out to him that that still left 4 days work he wouldn’t like it. Maybe they’re just lazy. We got a letter from him last week asking us to confirm that we will not be going forward with the purchase of the freehold. Eh. The only reason we are in a conversation with him is TO purchase the freehold and yet he has managed to misunderstand that fact by 100%. Other mistakes our solicitors have made in the last year include not noticing that a mortgage offer was totally wrong and failing to complete a house purchase, something which is almost impossible to do. That solicitors ow
