WOW! YOU'RE SURNAME IS SELLINGS .... HOW APPROPRIATE!

Over the years I've lost count of the number of people who have commented on my surname and how appropriate it is ..... 
I am blessed to have two great jobs, especially at my age ...
both of these jobs are related to real estate in a sense .....
For the past few years I've been part-time with the Mater Foundation at their prize homes - this involves  ticket sales and conducting guided tours through
prize apartments and answering questions regarding the home and the Mater hospital ..... sometimes I feel like a real estate agent selling a home as I point out all the features! 
The current prize is a Sky Home/Penthouse in the Promintory at Yungaba, Kangaroo Point valued at over $2million ..... with views of the city, Brisbane
River and Story Bridge. 
This amazing prize home can be viewed Thursday - Sunday each week until 14 December from 10am till 6pm by calling into the Australand Sales Office in Wharf Street Kangaroo Point - free parking available http://www.materprizehome.com.au/







During the weeks we have been working we have shared the sales office with three amazing salespersons from Ray White, Kangaroo Point and have no hesitation in recommending Carmel, Soren and Jimmy to anyone looking for property in the Kangaroo Point area.http://raywhitekangaroopoint.com/


When not working with Mater I'm working from home for a very dear friend who is also a real estate agent .... and I can personally recommend Trish Walls of Harcourts Coastal  http://harcourts.com.au/Offices/191321/Harcourts-Coastal
Trish has been selling real estate on the Gold Coast now for almost a decade and specialises in the Sorrento, Benowa, Ashmore and surrounding areas ....
Trish brings a refreshing brand of energy and enthusiasm to real estate sales. A long history in sales and marketing combined with an early background in welfare, certainly prepared Trish for the rigorous demands of Gold Coast real estate.
With a refined ability to read people and situations and superior negotiation skills she has navigated many sellers and buyers through transactions which can be stressful and emotional. Trish has built an excellent reputation amongst her peers and has a large following of loyal clients, some of whom have sold several properties through Trish.
A “people person” with a reputation for honesty, integrity and old fashioned hard work, you can count on Trish to do whatever it takes to look after your best interests every step of the way. Rely on her knowledge, experience and dedication; she will make your next sale a pleasure!

Robina Town Centre is my favourite place for shopping ....

HAIR KANDI
I started going there just over a year ago, when the salon where I was going upped their prices enormously and the staff kept changing - Hair Kandi had recently opened and had great specials .... for the first few appointments Toni attended my needs and we had started to form a bond, alas the same thing happened - she left for greener pastures or something .... then I had Angie who on my second appointment was off ill, I was a little miffed that no-one bothered to ring and see if I wanted to change my appointment, however being there and knowing that it requires major organisation on my part to re-schedule, I decided to have someone else attend to me - and am I glad I did - Thea is the best hairdresser I've found on the Gold Coast - finally someone who listens to me - a trim is a trim not 2 inches cut off, I'm always told the total price before my hair is touched - no nasty surprise at the register - Thea always takes time to discuss whether the colour needs re-doing or just a root touch up or if my highlights need freshening up .... another nice touch at Hair Kandi is complimentary coffee and chocolate wafer biscuit .... Chris the owner is usually in attendance managing the reception desk and bookings and ensured that I had my next visit booked in - as Christmas is approaching and bookings are essential.  Hair Kandi are also at Logan Hyperdome.
I feel confident in recommending Thea and Hair Kandi Robina phone 5580 642

PREVUE EYEWEAR
I've been a customer there now for the past couple of years ..... they were the only local optometrist I could find which stocked Swissflex.  During that time I've also purchased prescription sunglasses as I found the transition lenses were not strong enough in the strong sunlight when driving.   Customer service is brilliant, Andrew is always happy to make adjustments to ensure perfect comfort.  Bill finally decided it was time he changed his glasses - George Clooney might wear Amani suits but my hubby looks swish in his Amani glasses!   For great professional and personal service we recommend Prevue you can make appointments on line:                           http://www.prevue.com.au/find-your-local-store

PASSIONTREE VELVET
Treated ourselves to the Duchess High Tea at Passiontree Velvet, a new cafe situated just outside David Jones on the lower level.  Rachel was our waitress and is truly an asset to this establishment, her bubbly friendly personality and brilliant smile made our experience even more special.  The food was fresh and abundant, way too much for two people ..... but never fear - no wasted food - we were able to take home what we hadn't eaten - all boxed and in a carry bag.  Passiontree Velvet offers two different High Teas, tasting plates, light lunches, devonshire teas, twenty flavours of Macarons and ..... even the littlies are catered for with a Teddy Bears Picnic .....  for a full menu and to make a booking for High Tea    http://www.passiontreevelvet.com/

CENTRELINK & MEDICARE
Centrelink office at Robina is designed to assist senior citizens .... needing some clarification regarding pensions and work bonuses we called in a few weeks ago to find the waiting time was 2 hours ..... as we had other appointments we didn't wait ... this week Bill went prepared for a long wait, taking his ipad with him ... eventually after an hour wait the girl he saw was unable to assist as she didn't know the answers ..... surely if this office specialises in aged pensions she should be qualified and trained in all aspects of payments ..... we recommend if you need to attend either Centrlink or Medicare you take entertainment, food and drink with you!!!

One of the hottest trends at the moments ..... beautiful decorated nails ......
