Hello, there is a place at Burie, which seems to specialise in them. It is just as you leave Burie on the road to Cognac.

It is always the last week in July so looking at next year's calendar it will be either from Weds or Thurs 25th or 26th up until and including Sunday 29th. Don't miss it!

Hi Helen, have sent you a private message.

Well it's working again for me now too, thanks. www.logis-la-cabane.com  

Has anyone else had problems using Visit France's Update this morning or is it just me? Can't get onto the main site either........a bit of a nuisance as we have a few last dates to fill!                 www.logis-la-cabane.com                                                           

Hello, you can buy something very similar to TCP in any pharmacie here. It can be used in just the same way and is called SYNTHOL. Also you can get Cetavlon which is much the same as Savlon cream and something else called Homeoplasmene ( I think it is like that) although I admit that I still ask people to bring us the original Germolene anyway as there is something so comforting about the smell of it!

[quote]Just updated it OK, and did so yesterday too. Is yours still not working?[/quote] Yes it is working again now so that's okay. You must have been lucky Catherine and caught it before and after the problem.                          Happy updating everyone!                                           Flora     www.logis-la-cabane.com                                 

Hello, I have been unable to update on Visit France since yesterday evening and this morning it still doesn't work. I've tried on another pc, no different and if you look at the site itself there is virtually no change on the order of properties so it obviously isn't working for most other people either! Tried to e-mail them but that won't work! If it was due to planned maintenance I'd appreciate an advance warning; If it is just 'technical' problems, I'd rather they occurred less often.                   Flora.                             

Well yes I am a bit confused now! Anyway, I took my laptop to a couple of computer bods ( small french enterprise not too far away) and they got it going again and re-loaded everything without losing what I already had on it. Total cost 35 euros. If it can just behave itself for a while  then I won't have to make the choice.                   thanks for all the advice, Flora.                                          www.logis-la-cabane.com

Hello again, thanks so much for all your input. I use my computer for our gite business ( website, all enquiries and bookings), general e-mails and, with our numeric camera and for leisure surfing or 'drifting' as my husband calls it which includes this forum of course! I get exasperated as it is always crashing ( problems identified variously as being caused by windows, aol and norton) although at least it goes faster with adsl now and I often get that blue screen of death. Last week it came up and says there is an ' erreur irrevocable'. Now it won't work at all and keeps on starting up, that message flashes on for a second and then the thing stops and restarts itself continuously. I know I should be cleaning out regularly, defragmenting ( whatever that is?) etc etc but I'm afraid that I am not at all technical and don't have much spare time either as I work as well, so I have to rely on the goodwill of my sons to come to my rescue. As someone said I am not very interested in what goes on under the bonnet , I just need the thing to work! I'm writing this on son's laptop now as he is still in bed , being only 21 and having finished fac for the summer! He reloaded the master cd for me last week when it was already misbehaing and had lost loads of e-mails, but now can't even do that because of the continual turning on and off. I know I'll have to take it somewhere to see if it can be repaired ( it is a laptop so that's not difficult) but as it is 3 yrs old I thought it might not be good economics and that perhaps I should change to a simple trouble and virus free MAC! I've looked at the apple. fr site and the mac mini does look interesting esp if I got a TFT screen in the sales elsewhere. It is the idea of having something that won't go wrong that temps me most. It would be better if I didn't have to splash out though really of course so if I am to go for the sensible course of action does anyone have any repairer to recommend (french or english) around depts 16 or 17? I thought if I could get it repaired for a reasonable price then I could pass it on to my younger daughter and get something else anyway later.... ?. Flora www.logis-la-cabane.com

I'm so frequently exasperated with my windows XP and being at the point where I am thinking of replacing my system, I wondered if any of you have opinions on choosing between a mac and a pc? Thanks, Flora.

It's a work out programme. I've got the book but there is a website and apparently gym sessions in uk. supposed to give amazing results...here's hoping!  

Has anyone tried The Bodydoctor?

The SIMIENS CREW thing came back yesterday evening and this morning I still can't log in to update etc! Last time I thought it was just me until I read that other people had been having problems too. Hope they get it sorted quickly.
