  1. Hi, Thanks everyone for the great info and links. Unfortunately my French is not good enough for me to understand completely the French websites but it's fun trying :-) Apologies for this late response post but I have been laid low for a good few days with the 'lergy' and the forum was unobtainable the several times I tried in last few days but great to see it back with a great new look Mrs B
  2. Hi, Was having a discussion on French mortgages and the subject of paying off the mortgage was raised. One question was: what happens when the entirety of the French mortgage is repaid ie what should be done after eg 1. should any legal authority eg the notaire be informed? 2. is there a French equivalent of the English title-deeds 3. any other things that should be done Can anyone enlighten please? Thank you, Mrs B

    Catteries

    Hi Andy, Firstly, apologies for late reply, I have been having problems logging on. Thanks for you words of encouragement, we will keep it in mind but we are concerned how our cat will take to communal living with other cats as he is rather shy and timid. We will continue to look for a cattery with individual pens and keep our fingers crossed we will strike lucky Regards, Mrs B

    Catteries

    Hi, Does anyone know of any good catteries in or close to the Narbonne area please? We have been looking hard, have only found two to date: one which houses all the cats in one single room and another which is located off a narrow beaten track and to be honest, does not look and smell clean. My French is rather limited so would prefer an English run/spoken cattery but happy to cope in my limited and badly spoken French if I have to :-) Many thanks, Mrs B
  5. Thanks everyone for all the helpful comments. I did not know there is a free online fax facility which I will certainly check-out when my little Phillips has done his service or if as LeHaut advised, our phone line turn out to be VOIP but you guys are right, indeed we are still a bit old-fashioned when it comes to free online services :-) but thanks v much for all advice which we will take on board. We'll be newbies when we move and will appreciate any info/suggestions/guidance Mrs B

    Pet Insurance

    Hi there, What are the more popular pet insurances companies in France please? We have been using PetPlan and if possible would like to have a similar cover for our cat after we have moved Thanks, Mrs B
  10. Hi there, Will our UK telephone/fax work in France please? The model in question is a Philips Magic 5 Primo. We are aware the telephone sockets in UK & France differ but is there an adaptor that we can use to get it working in France? Thanks, Mrs B
  11. Just looked on website and there is no mention of any cancellations of the Economie crossing however current available crossings only available from May 11
  12. Hi, In case anyone is thinking of using this crossing in the next two months, we have been informed this route has been cancelled : "We are sorry to advise that due to a technical fault with the ship's stabilisers, the sailing from Portsmouth to Le Havre is cancelled. Please call us on 01752 648637 for advice and assistance. We are sorry for the inconvenience this will cause. " We were told that the repair work will take approx. two months. Crossings still ok via Portsmouth Caen Mrs B
  13. Hi Sprogster, Re: [quote user="Sprogster"]Looked at the profile for the OP and found out they have never visited the forum since their initial and only post! .[/quote] Apologies if we are butting in but if not logging onto the Forum daily has offended anyone, our sincere apologies, it is not intentional. We are also newcomers to the Forum and have asked for and got very useful thoughts, guidance and advice. We do visit the Forum almost daily but we do not have auto-logon enabled. The topics are helpful, enlightening and interesting, there are still so many things we are learning about day to day living and the administrative requirements for a life in France and this Forum is a fantastic resource Thanks, Mrs B
  14. Hi Patf, Woolybanana & idun, Thank you too for your advice,we will certainly be taking on board and heeding all of it
  15.

Have also attempted to email you to say thanks but the page has not refreshed after I selected the email button so I must have done something wrong Many thanks again
