My fosse has been in the house for longer than I have (32 years) and has been emptied once during that time. The day that we (DDs and I) sell...

Your post crossed with mine!

When I had a hip replacement, the single rooms at the hospital and in the Re-education Centre were paid for directly by my Mutuelle (top-up insurance), otherwise the Sécu paid for it all. There...

Re: Moving within France

According to the C.T. fellow, the Carte Grise people want to see a C.T. less than 6 months old, however the ownership of the car was transferred. Yet another "to-do" thing to put on my list, and...

Re: Moving within France
