  1. Thanks, its a really good site - one I didn't know about.
  2. We are still looking, still checking vets and rescue centres near us. Are there really so few cross poodle pups?  We really prefer a dog with a non shedding coat any help appreciated.
  3. Thanks, I will try that,. We have left our details at the vets, and check notice boards regularly. If anyone does have, or know of such a pup in the future please let us know - I have a feeling it might be a long wait.
  4. We are looking for a small/ medium female puppy (up to 4 or 5 months max) with a non-casting coat so something with poodle in the ancestry or bichon or coton.  I would love to be able to offer a home to an older dog but our family circumstances can't cope with that situation right now. (All our previous dogs were rescues.) We would consider a pure bred, but prefer mixtures. Can anyone help? Thanks. [:D]
  5. Just re-read the bit about 'baby in the dog cage' didn't quite come out right did it?  Meant baby goat! Joys of having baby goats, they just discovered how to jump up and down on corrugated sheeting. Also our chickens live with the goats quite amicably.[;-)]
  6. Hello Nick, I only wanted to see what other amounts people had been quoted, the post was not intended to irritate.  I found the quote amusing because we have always done work ourselves and not paid vast amounts, but stonemasonry is beyond our capabilities at the moment. No we can't afford to pay that much nor want to pay that much. Sorry if I made you cross. [:(]
  7. Having read the post for "outrageous quote for painting", I thought you may be interested to hear our story. We were quoted for re-crepi - ing the outside of our house and replacing crumbling tufo stones on window ledges and door frames (9 windows and 3 doors). We were quoted 83.000,00 euros, that's 83 thousand. We laughed and said thankyou but we could buy a new house for that.  I would like to hear who has had another outrageous quote !  
  8. I will take some photos today and hubby will upload tomorrow hopefully. We can keep all of the goats for the moment, they dont like to be alone, so both should go at the same time. You are welcome to come and see them before May.  I would suggest you contact your vet about neutering the boy, ( costs about 60 euros) this can be done when he is 4-5 months old.  I personally wouldn't breed the girl because she has an unusual teat arrangement -3 on one side + 1 on the other, only 2 is normal. At present they live in a wooden house surrounded by a fence with partial electric fencing too. They need a dry shelter, hay for eating, straw for bedding, fresh water daily and a pellet supplement which you can get from most agricultural feed merchants. There are many sites on the internet which list plants poisonous to goats. Also you need to trim their hoofs every 4-6 weeks, this is done with secateurs and isn't too scary once you have done it the first time.  [:D]
  9. Hi Panda, the goats transport relatively easily in the back of a car, the older one has "been there, done that" the baby is better moved in a medium sized dog cage. (We can lend one for the transportation). Which major town are you nearest? Would you like a photo or two? Baby boy only arrived on monday and needs his mum for another 2 months but he is already nibbling leaves. The older female we want to re-home is not his mum. Anything else you would like to know?[:)][:D]
  10. A long story cut short - we wanted pygmy goats, we were given one, bought two (all girls), phoned the farmer about chickens and were told he had another 3 goats which had to go by friday ( or else!).  Now we have 6 goats 5 girls and one boy and would like to rehome one adult girl and the baby boy [:)] The baby boy will be weaned from mum in about two months time - end of May.  If you are interested and live not to far from the Poitiers area 86, please contact me. We would like to give the goats to a good home where they can munch brambles to their hearts content. Thanks.[:)]
  11. Hello again - 8 euros per year is not a typo - I am not charging for the classes, it is done through an organisation and the 8 euros is for hall use, heating and such. I missed classes so much and there were none here so I am starting my own. Thanks for the offer of a spare belly! To the person with Turkish connections, yes I would be interested in placing orders with you at some stage, thanks. It was very cold here last night, the first frost and here we are in France with one log burner and two heaters which tripped the electrics. I may need to do daily classes to keep warm.
  12. As from wednesday 16th November I am starting up a Belly Dance class in Berthegon, dept 86. It is from 6.30pm until 7.30pm at the Salle Communale. The lesson will be conducted in French (English only if I run out of vocabulary). The charge is 8euros per years subscription. Dress is sport clothes. This is an exercise class for fun and dancing and any LADIES aged 16 upwards are welcome. Any questions please contact me by e-mail, or post replies here and I will answer them.
  13. Thanks for that, it does seem more complicated than it needs to be. 
  14. Bonjour , I have looked through previous mails and didn't find what I'm after - We are resident in France with French registered car and British driving licences. We want to hire a trailer to transport a car over from London. Our local (very helpful) Mayors office says that we can't tow a trailer without a Permit C.  Can we tow using our existing licences? Can we hire a british trailer but with french plates? If we hire a French trailer what is the protocol? Any help gratefully accepted.
