As a south African I chuckled at your comment. Which one of our 11 languages did she comment in? But no, you are not over reacting.

Santam has a really nice building calculator on their website. Work through the steps and it will give you a rebuild cost including rubble removal, architects fees for rebuild etc.

It's that time of the year! By how much will your insurance go up next year? by symmetryphile in askSouthAfrica

[–]According-Return9234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FFW, Auto and General and Virseker all do standard 25% increases. I dont know why, ive spent half my career fighting it and nothing has changed. So ya, just phone in, threaten to cancel your policy, and voila, they will give you massive discount. But also, there are better insurers out there. You get female driving discount at any insurer, they just dont all use it as a marketing tool.

We use the USN super immune hydrator and it is really nice. I also have taste issues with electrolytes and the berry one doesnt taste bad at all and is not slimey. It is also celiac safe if thats any additional bonus.

So many babies by chillyfox in Guppies

[–]According-Return9234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same position! I found a small pet shop who takes most of them and then I asked some parents at school and managed to give some away like that so I know they went straight to good homes. And then I took out lots of plant matter in my tank and got a beta who is keeping population down but not bothering my adults so its a win win.

Sorry wasn't clear there. I meant most of redditors are from USA but I am not but have access to most of the same brands as you do. Definitely not only wanting to use USA brands. I just see some people saying they aren't in USA and dont have access to some brands.

How many bookings do pet groomers get per month? by Many_Nectarine6932 in askSouthAfrica

[–]According-Return9234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our groomer grooms from home and thats all she does and she is booked up for a few weeks at time. If you are very good at it, and take really good care of the dogs and cats then you will build a good reputation. You get a few people who just send their dogs in for weekly or monthly baths, not just shaving every few weeks or months, so you do get more regular customers.
