tout est possible

I totally agree with all of that GG. Exactly the same experience for us.

We've used Shiply twice now. All turned out well in the end - despite lorries being impounded at Dover, snow, ice and correspondence online which was sporadic and very difficult to understand.

I was that absolute novice once. Confession is good for the soul.

And, NuBeginnings, why the hell did you buy a bottle of wine at the airport when you were going to France???

Couldn't get the asdl tv one and the spanish one wouldn't load. weather is horrid here in Tenerife - grey, windy and we've had some rain every day for the past three days. forecast is bad for every one of the next 5 days. still, at least it is 20 degrees so I shouldn't grumble.

No luck with that one.

I just tried that website out of curiosity. I am in Tenerife at the moment! And it works!

What about doing a survey to see what percentage of posters do in fact use a Mac? I do and find it really annoying that I can't use the quote facility properly.

And I didn't get notified about that reply!

I found that sort of depressing. In a treadmill kind of way. Should there be a "The Depressing Side" section?

Looking forward to Burns' Night. Might be able to give the definitive answer.

I edited. Just going to check now to see if I have been notified!!! nope. nothing yet.

nope. nada. Had another look and it's switched itself back to no from yes! I shall not be defeated. Two can play at that game. Solved mystery. Scrolled down a little bit more and clicked on "save changes" That should do it.

Dunnit. Thanks, AnOther. Can't wait to be notified now.

That reminds me. I don't seem to get any notifications any more. I haven't changed any settings so don't know what has happened. Will have to look into it.

Still hanging on here. No pain so I'm putting off the dentist visit. If I do summon up the courage I'll let you all know how I get on. It's just that I'm on 100% health cover on my Carte Vitale and that (incredibly) includes dental treatment in France so it makes quite a difference, especially as I don't have travel health insurance.

Just wondered ....... what sort of equipment does Gok have?

Thanks so much, Coops. Have saved that page for future reference. Tooth holding up so far!! Well, I don't think there's much tooth there - it was mainly filling and most of that fell out.

Just a thought but.... maybe he's got your socks by mistake.

un doigt ecossais?

Well, you're all extremely lucky. My download speed was 2.55 Upload was 0.25 But then I am in Tenerife at the moment - and I'm warm!!

Thanks, everyone. Not what I wanted to hear really, but thanks anyway.

That's a real coincidence, Sweet 17, because I was just thinking about you today and wondering what you were up to. Glad you are enjoying your busy deux-chateaux life.

We are French resident, have cartes vitales and European Health Insurance cards. I have lost a girnormous filling and fear that pain is looming just around the corner. At the moment we are in Tenerife and will be for the next couple of months. The question is - can I reclaim the cost of a dentist's visit here? If so, what paperwork will I need from the dentist who treats me?
