egger Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 hi everyone,well i made it here, cried for 2 days before i got here[:'(], but now love it[:D]. The place is ace, and the people who run the place are ace, had one or two drunken nights with them[+o(].Been to Josslin, very nice, but parked on in the space with blue lines, i think that means for 2 hours but then found out it was for people with a card or something, oh well no one said anything. Sat in the cafe with my coffee, watching the world go by, but not understaning a word of what was going on [:D].Went to the bakers and tried my limited french, must have got it right, well the women kept saying wee wee so i must have [:D].Oh well must go on someone elses computer, but will try to keep in touch xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one my OH bought was a couple of euro. They are like a disabled card in that they don't expire - you just have to display it when you're parking.

Alexis Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 That's the ticket egger. I never spotted you in Josselin! Where you in the square? It is a bit empty of people at the moment. End of the season.There is a season for the blue spaces here in Josselin but I don't know when it finishes. Possibly the end of August.... It will start again around May/June. It is in the Flash but I never need to know the dates so I don't take a lot of notice, which isn't a lot of help.The tabac in the square sell the permits. You might need one for Plöermel to park near the Mairie but otherwise I can't think of anywhere local to you. Welcome to France! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayJay Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Hi Egger,Glad to hear you're having fun, don't worry about forgetting to weigh the veg, we've all done it at some time. Some still do[:$] well, the amount of times we've found something hidden at the bottom of the trolley!Just think what a dab hand you'll be with a paintbrush, once you've got your place & decorated it. You'll be able to branch out & away from hairdressing!![;-)]Hope you've had a great time with your step son & you're not too upset when he goes back. It's not nice when rellies go home, but it does get easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexis Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 What a disappointment for you. Many years ago when I bought my first house, the Notaire just told me that beetle was 'rien'. It could be treated. Which it was and it is still standing!Wonderfull weather we are having at the moment. Just right for house hunting. Next time you come to Josselin, let me know and I will hide....no! Meet you for a coffee I meant.[:D]If you want. Market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 don't worry about forgetting to weigh the veg, we've all done it at some time. Some still do well, the amount of times we've found something hidden at the bottom of the trolley! says Jay JayI always seem to get things back to front then ! The time before last I went to buy veg in the supermarket I went to the check out and was pointed in the direction of the scales in the veggie department. Last time I thought 'Ha,ha, I am now experienced in the buying veggie lark' and headed for an assistant standing behind some weighing scales in said dept. 'Non, non' she said and gestured towards the check out. Both times my face was the colour of a beetroot [:$][:$]Good luck Eggers on your new adventure and hope you get the house of your dreams [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
