I have just had the same problem after buying new phones, in the end I changed to the sister company of telerabais (telesoldes) so that I could prefix each of my international numbers with their 4 digit code. It works although it's a bit long winded entering all the numbers for the first time.

Can someone supply a link to the French text, showing exemption of CRDS on pensions for holders of an E121. Thanks

"So now I'm stuck with french type headlights, that are not UK MOT passable. Tried selling them but no-one wnats them. " Just so no one gets the wrong info, L/H drive headlights are acceptable for the UK MOT, provided you blank off the kick up part with tape.

I spoke to a Notaire about this last week and she said it wasn't a problem, the buyer would have to send the notaire the anticipated fees in €'s in advance of the sale. Also the seller would have to deposit any possible charges VAT or CGT if  applicable. The only additional charges would be for a UK solicitor/commissioner of oaths to do the paperwork.

This site has lot's of info. H1FORM

You don't have to pay the earth for a UK sourced freesat box, if you don't want the bells and whistles. http://www.satbuyer.co.uk/freesat-digital-boxes-c10.html?gclid=CKXgrYfAuZ0CFZoU4wodMGhWjA http://www.freesat.co.uk/index.php?page=products.Products&type_id=2

"Pissst wanna buy a tunnel" Not yet, but I may be later and then I will consider buying your tunnel.[B]

I don't think anyone mentioned having seen a notaire.

Unfortunately, very sooooooooooon[:(] normaly to pay by mid November in our region.

Probably. Buying another property with the proceeds of the sale, makes no diference to the tax man. Look Here

"You would have thought these people would know that international removal firms can be engaged to take you back to the UK; they don't just fall off the planet when they get to Deepest France." The way I read it, they used a man & van because, they had very little to take back to the UK. I guess that all the furniture stayed in the house.

"peroxyde d'hydrogene" or "eau oxygénée", should be available in the pharmacie.

It is not intended for a state pension, that can easily be paid in euros into an overseas bank of your choice. Some info on QROPS or HERE

I seem to remember that if you book  train tickets online, there is a box to tick for any travellers over 60, you may need to prove your age, to the ticket collector/guard on the train.

There is a product that used to be advertised on QVC, that is available in France Coltogum, it can often be bought from the tool trucks that do the rounds of towns and villages.

You can have a look on this link. http://www.livingfrance.com/directory-directory-search--7061

They sent me a form in English, I didn't ask for it, they must have guessed that my surname wasn't French.

Why not hire a lifting machine for the plasterboard? they are readily available.

[quote user="Chancer"]Perhaps I got it wrong or misunderstood when I tried.[/quote] I had the benefit of opening my post today, receiving the same invite to pay my TF by D/D [:)]

[quote user="tuppence"]Hi, If I have read and translated correctly the details on my TF documentation, I can opt to pay monthly as long as I have registered before December 16th 2009. In fact I have already taken a RIB into the local tresorie but have still received a bill telling me it must be paid by October 15th. Is this normal practice i.e sending the bill  but keeping the RIB till the payments start in January?? thanks tuppence [/quote] If you register for monthly payments before 12/12/2009 your first monthly payment for this years TF. will be taken out on the 15/01/2010

I haven't looked at the cost recently, but I am sure it would be more like €0.60-0.70 per litre

Sorry I thought I was replying to the first poster, even though you may think it's renovation, there are lots of rules that may make it, be classed as a new build. I am sure your architect can guide you through it. You can find a lot of info on this site in English. http://www.french-property.com/guides/france/
