  1. Does anyone know if it is possible to change my Wanadoo/Orange browser from French to English language. I have been experiencing extremely slow download times when receiving incoming mail from the Orange message box to Outlook express has anyone else noticed this recently?
  2. Does anyone have a simple recipe for veggie burgers using ingredients easily found in France. I have searched on the internet but most recipes seem to use ingredients that I can't find here. I have a freezer full of assorted vegetables and would like to find a way to use them up without too much hassle. thanking you in anticipation.
  3. Anyone know whether there any shops for arts and crafts supplies in Limoges please? Or names of online suppliers in France.

    Kitchen Units

    Thankyou for the above replies. I know what I am looking for but just find it difficult to get much to view online. I have tried Conforama but cannot access anything to view I am also interested to know whether it is possible to view online products at Brico Depot as all I have been able to see is the address of my nearest store? Castorama was of interest but I would like to see more choice elsewhere. Many thanks.
  5. I have been asked if I would provide a laundry service for holiday home owners to save them carting bed linen etc to and fro on the plane. Can anyone give me an idea of current rates please for bed linen and towels etc. Also charges for garden maintenance would be appreciated. t.y.i.a. 
  6. I was once foolish enough to pay a years subscription for Bonjour France magazine, I subsequently received only 2 copies and the company vanished. It was a lesson learnt and I would not pay up front subscriptions ever again. I would be interested to know whether anyone else fell into the trap?
  7. Anyone bought their kitchen units (diy) in France and can recommend online sites where I can view please.
  8. Does anybody have a recipe for making Mint Jelly please. I have searched the internet but so far have had no luck. t.y.i.a.
  9. Many thanks for that, this definately looks like the site I am looking for.
  10. Love the look of this hedging, can you tell me where I can buy in France please.
  11. Anyone know where I can buy inkjet cartridges cheaply. I used to order by post in England and pay about £9 for 6, here I can't seem to find anything for under £6 per cartridge? 
  12. Found the following recipe when I searched for Gateau de Pomme de Terre but alas no tuna: www.ormstonc.123go..co.uk/golimousincom/culture/culturepages/pate.htm
  13. Any suggestions for the quantities and cooking times please?
  14. Has anyone tried DIY sun dried tomatoes? If it is possible to do your own in France would you share method and recipe please?
  15. Did any dieters see the Paul McKenna I can make you Thin program on Sky 3 last Monday?? I missed the first program and would like to know what exactly the 'tapping' method is.
  16. I have a Springer Spaniel dog 7yrs liver and white Kennel Club Registered. Still looking for someone who has a female who wishes to breed. Would like pick of litter in return. Charente dept 16/Bordering dept 87
  17. According to my manual I have calculated that my pump should be running for 6hrs per day and that I should not swim in the pool while the pump is running. Therefore pump is switched OFF for swimming and I must clean my pool from the exterior, not easy with an above ground pool. I have friends with similar sized above ground pools who run their pumps 24/7 swim and get in pool with pump running to clean.......is this advised?
  18. I have seen an ad for Floatron solar device for clean pool water. Has anyone used this device and are they as good as they sound? tyia
  19. I have just done the course in English in Limoges where I'm sure the waiting list is not that long (approx 3 courses per month). To understand the methods of setting up and registering your business I would certainly suggest that you need to do the course first as it is very easy to set up 'wrong' without having the correct information from the proper source. Some of the information you have been given does not sound correct to me.
  20. Has anyone else had and overcome problems with 'trumpeting' toilets and toilets that don't flush properly, i.e. only flush at the rear of the toilet and not all the way round? sos help needed they're driving me mad! t.y.i.a.
  21. I have an oval above ground (hors sol) pool which I am preparing for it's 3rd season. 1st year had no problems keeping pool clean and blue and normal chlorine tablet system. 2nd year tried numerous treatments to clean pool but each time the pool reverted to green water. Have just uncovered for 3rd season, decided to completely empty pool and start again dumping just under 25,000 litres of green water. Pool has been emptied  and cleaned and pump refilled with new sand. Am wondering to continue as previously with chlorine tablets etc or could there be benefits if I converted to a salt water method? Presumably I would need to do it now with fresh water and not with water that has had chlorine added?
  22. I am having trouble sourcing French headlights for RHD Mazda B2200 1993 pickup. Have been to Mazda in Limoges who have been trying to find headlights for over 3 weeks now. I need the lights for the control technique and insurance. Anyone else had this problem or know of anywhere else I could try. t.i.a.
