Re: PAYG phones

Thanks for that, I didn't get my credit back last time so that must have changed. I was thinking of the cost of making calls rather than getting them, I wouldn't ask anyone to call a Spanish mobile...

Re: Ferry crossing back to the UK or drive?

Re: Replacement Doors

I almost choked on my beer when a friend told me he just paid £920 for a Upvc door. I would rather cut my own tree down and make it myself than pay that sort of money.

Re: What can we grow over winter?

Re: Berlingo estate £88 a week

Wouldn't it be better to drive your own car over, and then you could spend the £768 on holiday goodies.

Re: Why do Brits buy instead of rent?

That gives me more money for me.
