My godchild who lives in Australia has a birthday in May. Would like to send her some money. Can it send a uk bank cheque to Australia.

family visiting Washington & Maryland from this weekend 13/10/13 for 2 weeks. Weather advice please as unsure whether to concentrate on bringing a suitcase of warm/rain wear or light-ish stuff to wear

Initial symptoms little over 12 months ago were; Anaemia / dizziness treated repeatedly with iron tabs and same time Pain started in right hand (two middle fingers). By Christmas 2013 Pain had crept up arm and into shoulder. Was prescribed paracetamol, then nerve pain tabs. Relative asked GP for scan and was told GPs not allowed to refer. Pain getting worse and tabs having no effect when relative sent fax to GP asking again for scan. GP replied that they were not allowed to refer for scans in the area. They then sent relative to Care Uk who referred problem to 3 different areas (30 mile Radius) in the city for the various tests = nerve conduction, MRI &, CT SCAN while throughout all procedures being told there is no patient choice allowed. Outcome is that relative has cancer on outside of right lung which had spread to spine & neck = (C5 to T3) . Further MRI shows no brain involvement. Was referred for immediate attendance allowance and blur badge parking. Given 5 sessions of emergency Radio therapy while awaiting biopsy's. Since then is on 3rd chemo cycle. Told at last review that latest results show no new spread and chemo is working. What does the chemo do to the tumours and are they getting smaller/ reducing in size till they eventually disappear? Or is this terminal.

May Have located a long lost relative who may have lived around Portland Row Ballybough throughout the 1930-60s? and worked in the Rotunda Hospital until retirement.

To shorten the odds of checking if this the 'lost person' please tell me what is the name of the nearest Catholic Church and Cemetery in the Area.

Some weeks ago I got an email from 'Post Office' about a parcel to be collected and I clicked on the FEDEX Icon to get the details. After checking further at PO and Fedex it was a scam. Since my Bank account has been scammed (Honk kong & USA ) with card no I used to buy on line. I have Norton 360. anti-v. How can I get my Computer back to as safe as possible like previous. Do I have to take it to some Comp fixer. I am not IT literate and would not be able to follow instructions like remove and replace.

Anybody help me to understand why there is NO 'forward' on my yahoo tool bar since the site changed for the worst.

Need some explaination re this event.

Three days ago I expected delivery of parcel/s = Number unknown = One or two?

One arrived. Then Last night I received an email from delivery = ( Logo =FEDEX) Sender = Royal Mail to my emaiI address saying unable to deliver & parcel at post office.

Bottom of the email message was a box = 'Click for Postal Receipt'.

I Clicked and printed off receipt. Then today I find its a scam onfirmed by Fedex also no parcel at PO. This email has also vanished from computer .

I have Norton 360 for security which lists the usual headings and under each one EG PC Security; Identity; Backup; PC Tune. etc and underneath each heading is the word Protected.

3 years ago when visiting Australia with online Visa's we were taken aside re-issued with V's having been informed our electronic V's were not acceptable. Are they acceptable now days and safe to apply for online because;

**I am visiting family in Au again March- April (29 days) & Travel Agent has emailed the

Australian High Commission site to apply for a Visa on line. I have European Union Irish passport & Ireland citizen is cited in the box on the page as acceptable for application. I believe there is no charge for this Visa or am I mistaken - reading info wrongly? because;

***The two travel agent shops in our Village say they will issue a Visa attached to my passport for a cost of £25.

If I do apply on line - How soon should I do prior to travel. Do I have to give details of Travel Insurance and money in bank account etc.

I shall be travelling from the UK to Perth in the near future. Will I be allowed to bring:

A laptop and can this be via hand luggage?

Also need to take 3 very small steel items (not heavy-replacements burner tops for AGA cooker bought by relatives in UK before emigrating) sales receipt available.

Do I have to get permission from (somewhere) to bring with me.

What are the best Printer Scan settings to scan and send an old black and white photo to another site please.

Thanks in advance

Re- photo in my Photos file, scanned onto computer. The facial features of the people in the snap are dark which I would like to try and lighten.

Since I'm not IT literate, If anyone can help, could it be in small steps to enable me to understand.

I have Kodak ESP 5210. I would like to scan an 'old partly darkish photograph' - lighten it and print it out.

The instructions with the equipment is basic and me being IT illiterate haven't the foggiest of how to even use the scanner. Any help in Small steps would be appreciated.

I have loads of Daily Mail and Daily Express CDs I'm wondering should I sell at car boot, give to charity if worth anything? or just bin.

Appointment 3.30. Arrival am & depart pm return to Manchester
