  1. Yes, I use sel en pastilles pour adouisseurs (sp?) in my pool (and water softener).

    The other week I bought 2 x 25kg bags from Hydrosud at a cost of just under 21€ (what a rip off!).  I bought the same stuff in a different bag from Auchan for 5.90€ a 25kg sack, not far off half the price.

    Oh, BTW my pool is absolutely crystal clear and has been all winter too, and with no tint [;-)]  [:D]  [:P]

  2. The garage will sort out the change of carte grise.  Whether or not there is a change of department number or not you still have to pay the statutory sum for a new carte grise (change of ownership) and that depends on the value of the car. We have purchased 7 cars in seven years [:$] and it has always been sorted by the garage and we have had to pay the necessary sum seperate from any negotiations on the price of the car (often on a seperate cheque).

  3. I have a biscuit tin of various packets of seeds.  I gave up doing my veg garden last year because of lack of time.  If anyone would like them (for a small donation towards my chicken feed!) they're welcome.  I'll get the box out later and list what I've got.

  4. Have you looked in the little boutique Manoukian in Périgueux?  They had some lovely clothes in there when I went in during the sales.  It's just up from Burtons heading towards Montaigne carpark, it has a small shopfront and is easily missed!

    Otherwise I would suggest going to Angoulême or Bordeaux and having a look in H&M and Zara.

    The sales finish on Tusday and the Spring collections will be in.

  5. [quote user="JSA Aude"]Forgot to add parents and children had a 'formal' meeting with the teachers accompanying them a couple of weeks before they went.  I would imagine you would have the same and any questions were answered (privately or during the meeting) - an ideal time to bring up the vegetarian query. [/quote]

    Yes, there was a meeting last week.  Unfortunately my son didn't show me the note until after the event [:@] . I'll speak to the collège after tomorrow (they're busy doing the brevet blanc today and tomorrow).

  6. My 14 year old son is going to Barcelona/Tarragone in a couple of weeks time with the collège.  They are staying in pairs/threes with hosts families.  Reading your posts has got me worried now!! It doesn't help that he's vegetarian, I'm worried he's not going to eat properly!

  7. [quote user="Dog"]I cannot understand why the media are making a big thing of  having a person of half African blood as President being representative of the American people. Surely it would be more representative if he was Mexican. There are more Mexicans in the USA than African Americans.[/quote]

    It's all very well saying that there should be a mexican / a black / a woman etc etc etc but those people have to have a desire to to the job and put themselves forward for it (and to be capable of doing it).
