It’s getting closer to Christmas and the Late Late Toy show. I can’t stand that program . It might be a bit better this year (I doubt it) with Ryan Tubridy - he’s slightly less obnoxious than Pat Kenny.
It’s obviously a thinly disguised advertising slot for Smyths and Byrnes World of Wonder and a few other toy shops. Look here if you want a sneak preview of the probable Late Late Toy Show Toys.
Buying toys online from Amazon with Sterling prices and Irish Vat - you get the best of both worlds. Lower prices but you can still contribute to the Irish economy by paying Irish VAT.

From Sat August 1st 2009 there is going to be a “strike” by some pharmacists in Ireland over payment arrangements from with HSE. Not all pharmacyies are involved - but it looks like the two in Ballyhaunis are withdrawing services . People on Medical Cards or those getting drugs under the Drugs Payment Scheme or Long Term Ilness Scheme will not be able to get their prescriptions filled without paying the full amount for the medicines.
According to the HSE website - Ballyhaunis residents will have to travel to pharmacies in Castlerea or Claremorris.

Some good news this week for all of us living in rural or semi rural Ireland . Amazon are now delivering electronics and video games to Ireland. For those of us living outside large cities - buying cameras or laptops or DVd recorders - anything like that - usually means taking at least half a day and a round trip of maybe 80 miles to get something decent. Even then - the prices and selection available are not great. There are a few websites delivering certain things to Ireland - but now Amazon has changed it’s rules it is a one stop shop for loads of great things - at prices way lower than you will usually get in Ireland.
See for yourself here.
Now you can get your Cds Dvds Video Games at the same site you buy Consoles, Cameras, Laptops etc
With delivery charges lower than many Irish websites - and prices in Sterling - there are savings to be made. Just what we need after the Budget this week?
Aldi - the german discount chain - may be coming to Ballyhaunis. An application has been made to Mayo County Council this week to construct a store in the Hazlehill area of Ballyhaunis.
If reports in the press this week are true - then Tesco Home Delivery is coming to Ballyhaunis and several other Mayo towns.
The Tesco Online Shopping site is not yet confirming that they will deliver in Ballyhaunis or castlebar or Claremorris - but keep checking in the next few days.
Tip - when you register your address it will probably say it doesn’t recognise it - especially if you live in a rural area - but don’t give up. Put a number in the first line of address - then the system will offer you the option of showing the location of your house on a map - this is the best way to check if Tesco deliver to your area. Check the Tesco site now and get shopping. No more packing and unpacking bags and driving back and forwards to the shops. Let Tesco do the hard work for you.
We will confirm as soon as possible which areas of Mayo and beyond are covered by Tesco Online shopping service. Call back to check.
