  1. Our water heater has packed up and have found it is the element. Has anyone replaced one or had it replaced and can give me an idea of cost please ? Posted this under shopping !!! before finding this section. Sorry for being dim !!!
  2. Has anyone replaced the element on their water heater or the water heater its self and if so what is around the price please ? We have 200 litre capacity and it looks like the element has gone. Any info gratefully received !!!
  3. Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but will be in Paris for New Year with my daughter and her husband. They live in Australia and are really looking forward to it. Have booked an Indian meal for New Years Eve but would like to book somewhere also for New Years Day. I know lots of small places will be closed but on net says there are places open. Anyone got any ideas ?
  4. Thank you for the quick response :-) I have printed it off :-) So fingers crossed when it has to be done !
  5. I can agree Kangaroo cards are excellent. Have used them for years. Lovely cards at a good price. They had one missing from my order as not in stock so sent and extra one and the orderes one at a later date. Can't ask better than that ! I know not personalised but you can do that with your message.
  6. Hoping someone can help again :-) If I buy a new laptop and wish to use Incredimail how do I set this up from my Orange mail. Someone did it for me the last time so have no idea what to do ! Very dim so easy instructions please. You have all been great in the past so hoping you will come up trumps again Thanks in advance !
  7. I bought one from chez Lidl reduced at the moment to 70 euro and I am very pleased with it.
  8. Wish we had done that if it was easier !!!
  9. I have no experience of US to France but do from OZ to France and my advice was just do not contemplate it !! I sent back motorcycle clothing , christmas presents from my daughter as we spent Xmas there and a pool cleaner given from her for our birthdays . I have an enormous file and lots of hastle which ended up in us going to Le havre to the shipping agent and then to the customs as they would not release it unless we did. Then we got the 3rd degree on why we were sending clothing second hand ( was our own sent out earlier by La Poste in numerous parcels to use on a motorcycle holiday )They then charged us an arm and a leg in import duties !! We sent these boxes with a reputable shipping agent in Oz and hired and agent in Le Havre to deal with this end but still had to go ourselves. And the whole thing took weeks and I must say the customs were not at all helpful. So my advice is just don't go there!!
  10. Just read about the property prices but depends where you look. Try away from the main towns. Perhaps between Tulle and Argentat but up higher. I know there are a number of houses for sale in La Roche Canillac and Marcillac La Croisille. Near enough towns but lovely villages which are quiet. is an area worth exploring.
  11. I think Brive is nice too but Tulle has changed massively since we arrived. Used to so dull and sad but is much more lively and so many improvements ( Maybe as they have Francois Holland ? ) People in Tulle are much friendlier :-) Brive is much snobbier :-) Will give an example - Asked in Brive if parking was free behind the shops on a Saturday. Reply Madam this is Brive not Tulle !!! Reminds me of when I lived near Thurso and the difference between Thurso and Wick. Thurso always thought it was a cut above Wick !! Saying all that Brive is lovely for a day out and will say very quietly, if you don't mind hearing lots of British voices. Is the main shopping place for all the Loters too !  We are 20km from Tulle and 50 from Brive so just right for us. The French ask if I do not find the Correze too remote and laugh when I tell them this is not remote ! 8,500 people in Wick and Thurso and 120 miles to Inverness to main shops . That is remote !!!
  12. You could not have a better description of this beautiful department. I loved it on my first visit on holiday and have loved the 6+ years I have lived here. And from a local the description is so much better !!!
  13. Thanks all for your input :-) Think I know what I am doing now :-)
  14. Exactly Pickles :-) Is maybe my question was badly worded ! My husband says I talk in riddles but I am female. I have not changed the huge access code so guess I should have ? But if no one else can use it then I am not too worried. I trust my neighbour 100% I just told him I will have to kill him if he gives it to anyone else !!! His brother Marc works for France telecom so he can fix any mess !! but just don't want anyone else asking !! We have a gite just up the road so will be other folks there in the summer
  15. Hi folks thanks for that but is an orange live box and is very secure. If anyone knows the key then they must be excellent as it is huge! The reason I ask is because I normally use the computer plugged in I only have a need for wifi sometimes. And I wanted to switch off when not needed so people do not know there is a connection around. There are other visitors who use the house and they are very friendly and come every year and I just do not want to be in the position of being asked if I mind them logging in !! I am too soft and find it difficult to say well I would prefer not !! It does seem to slow down my computer. The owners of the house had a laptop each !!!
