Re: Vodafone contract cancellation?

Ok all great suggestions! I've coerced a friend into helping me at Vodafone so I'm hoping that it'll all be fine. After all, there's nothing I can do about it, and it's not like I'm switching to some...

Re: Vodafone contract cancellation?

Re: Vodafone contract cancellation?

Re: Vague Business Idea - What do you think?

Thanks for the replies.

TestaRossa, that's very interesting, especially about the stuff for young kids. Not so interested in teaching teens - I can do that through my language school job anyway!...

Re: Vague Business Idea - What do you think?

Thanks for that Chris. There's not a lot of money in Sardinia (apart from the Costa Smerelda maybe!) so there might not be too much demand. There is however an English-speaking primary school here so...

Re: Recreation

Hah I can believe it! Neither my partner nor I drive, so we use the buses, which are fine but can get stuck in traffic. Central Cagliari is a nightmare for driving and parking I believe.

Re: Joining the library in italy

I HIGHLY recommend investing in an e-book reader! My Sony e-reader is lighter and thinner than one book, and has memory for thousands. It cost £200, so quite an investment, but it's so nice not to...

Re: Freelance versus Permanent

Hi Debs!
