What with high divorce rates and the high cost of living, couples often find themselves living together for a while before jumping into marriage, if at all. But what happens if the honeymoon ends... who gets to keep the house? And for that matter, the car, furniture, family pet..?

Juliette Attwell, writing in our BizCareers advisor column, tells you how to price yourself right and dress for success. Let's face it, turning up for an interview in slops probably won't cut it.

OK, Christmas is coming and it's only a matter of time before Boney M's Drummer Boy will have you... well... whatever you do having heard it umpteen times before - but at least you know where your Christmas gifts are coming from. So spare a thought for all those kids who don't, and do your bit for the Santa Shoebox Project. It's open for pledges and your shoeboxes of gifts will bring happy smiles to a lot of kids. Just do it, darn it!

And it's TIFF news for our film industry... not only is Triggerfish Animation Studios' animated movie Khumba off to the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF), but so is Anant Singh's Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. It will debut at TIFF, so to both our entrants, good luck, and may it be a case of "TIFF luck" and not "tough luck" on the night.
