Wow! Gorgeous! Hubby has rescued several lizards and a small snake from the cats this visit. We have plenty of dry stone walls and safe hiding places for them, thankfully. Read More

A decent-sized UPS is a good investment - and another to stop your central heating system exploding when there's a real and prolonged power outage! 😁 - @JimJ Makes me glad we don't have a central heating system! But agreed on a good UPS ... Read More

Ours used to be inside the house, there was a gap on the fuse board where it used to be and I found the old meter in a cupboard! If I understood correctly what the electrician who rewired our house and also works for the electricity supplier, said, ... Read More

Ours was already outside the property when we bought the house, so I don't know what it would cost to get done. I think all the houses in our village with active electric connections were probably done at once by the electricity supplier. At least, ... Read More

Hmm, I didn't actually mean to imply that you would be promoting anything dodgy. I'm sure the way you discuss structuring things will be perfectly legal. From time to time other people do suggest things here that may not be. As I said, tax ... Read More

I'm sorry I'm not aware of anyone, though there are quite a few German people in Varna so it's not impossible you might find someone.I hope the challenging situation you're dealing with can be resolved. Read More

I'd been wondering how Kath was, too. But unfortunately I suspect she won't see this -- a couple of times she posted that she was fed up with notifications and we talked her through how to turn them off. Read More

Laila, I hope you get responses! I think there are some forum members in that area, though it's all gone a bit quiet lately -- probably people are busy over summer.Most of us here are retirement age or close to it rather than younger families, but ... Read More
