Living abroad tips and hints for money savers

Mw, d-g, s-d-w, I have PM'd you with instructions for posting photos.

If there's anything I've explained badly, let me know.

Some time ago, I posted a link to some photos of our house on Facebook. I omitted to include some pics of the outside of the house, and said I'd add some.

If anyone is interested, I did that a couple of weeks ago, but forgot to say so here. Here's the link.

Lovely photos of your house droopsnout - In the Midi Pyrenees, I see? Lovely region.

I have only just found this thread; probably because it is tucked under Silver Savers!

I'll have a look through all the pages... there are bound to be some gems in there.

Oh Droopsnout - that photo is lovely. Thanks for sharing it with us.

7DW - thought I was the only dunce when it comes to loading photos. I have had my computer 18months and still not opened the instruction books. Spend most of my time playing with my email. I have friends scattered all over the world and it is just sublime to chat to everyone every week. Trouble is they send me photos and I cant manage it and they keep screaming at me to get cracking. Its like texting on my mobile - can't do that either.

I DO know how to send our own photosfrom our own camera via e-mail and I can text on my phone!:beer: However it does say on the box my phone came in that it is 'suitable for the older customer':eek::rotfl:

Thanks Droopsnout, will print your instructions out tomorrow!

Thanks, Judy, and a big welcome to the thread.

Yes, our house is on the borders of Tarn-et-Garonne, Gers and Lot-et-Garonne d!partements.

Hope you enjoy both reading and posting here. None of us bites.

Droopsnout -is it very difficult being as nice as you are? You seem to be there for all of us. it must be that lovely house that makes you what you are - could you bottle some. mw

Welcome JudyM to our little world. As Droopsnout says, we don't bite and on occasion we can be quite friendly. Enjoy your visit, you have a lot of reading to do.

I probably have too much time on my hands! Thank you, anyway, for your kind comment.

Hi, Welcome Judy M! I take it you have an interest in France judging from your response to droopsnout's picture? Do come and visit us again!

Yes, sounds good, s-d-w.

I went to a Christmas market this morning, and this is what I could see on the way:

Seeing this has really made me yearn to get back to my other home in France. Unfortunately it will be March before we can get back but I suppose the upside is that the sun will probably be shining.
