Hi Claire, Thanks so much for your help.  I have just checked with France telecom and they have said beginning of April (but that might change!).  Also checked on your website and it says Readsl is going to be available.  What is this? Thanks, Vicky

 Help, Help!!!  Just found out that we do not have adsl in our area (we were told we would!). Our only option looks like satellite internet connection. Can anyone tell me is this a different satellite dish to our tv satellite dish? Also can you tell me whether you can upload as well via satellite or do you have to use a modem as well? Many thanks. Vicky

Thanks for your comments - am I to assume I need to try Euro - assist?  Thanks, Victoria

We are driving our cars over to France at the beginning of April and as they will still be under uk plates and insurance I am looking for a company who will provide breakdown cover until we get the French registration and insurance sorted out.   We would really  like to be covered for the journey from the ferry port if nothing else. I think if we use an English firm (AA, RAC) they will only recover us back to the UK - am I right? Any suggestions gratefully accepted!! Victoria  

Hi We have a few boxes of kit to move from the New Forest to Duras.  Can anyone recommend someone who they have used for cheap but reliable removals?  I am flexible about how long it takes to arrive and it will be ready to go in about a week. Thanks, Victoria

Hi, My husband and I are looking for a house to let for at least a year from April 2006.  We would like a furnished house with a minimum of 3 bedrooms, fitted kitchen, large garden/land, pool and central heating.  Ideally a semi-rural property on the edge of a village/small town around Montpon/Mussidan or with easy access to the A89.  We have two very well behaved Collies who will be coming with us.  We are financially sound and can provide references and proof of salary.  My husband is a pilot and I am a housewife and the property would be very well looked after by us. I understand finding such a property is a bit like discovering hen's teeth but I live in hope!  All suggestions welcome. Thanks, Victoria
