It just seems really old fashioned. We don't pay Kieran's rent like that and I don't know of anyone else who has paid for their kids rent like that. Hell! I don't think I paid like that in my renting days! Still it takes all sorts I suppose and does give the old cheque book a reason for existence, it does feel a little left out in this internet banking day and ageBoo and Trevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02180278448934122491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500081.post-67087940342690180722007-03-12T21:46:00.000+00:002007-03-12T21:46:00.000+00:00The entire years rent in post-dated cheques is the...The entire years rent in post-dated cheques is the normal way of doing business in TO, I have always done it, and my tenants do it now.

I started taking multi vitamins a few weeks ago and straight away I go cystitis then I threw my back out and then I got a cold. Those multi vitamins are rubbish! I've stopped taking them now.<BR/>The youth hostel sounds like Erin's future landlord who wants the entire years rent in post dated cheques!
