Re: Any Expats in The Czech Republic ?

Ahoj Gail!

My mother has only just left after having a great week with us.

She did tell me about the insurance. It was done through SAGA and cost her about £80 for the week - of course they ask...

Re: Any Expats in The Czech Republic ?

Ahoj Gail!

Hope everything is good with you.

Well it wasn't very long before we took a new cat from the rescue centre but we're having a few problems with Matej. He is very timid and not used...

Happy New Year!

No I didn't go to the UK for Christmas - I haven't been there at all for two and a half years. So, it was our usual mix of Czech and British Christmas traditions.

I think we've passed from autumn to winter this week. The wood stove has been lit every day. There was snow higher up the hillside last Monday.

Micky has been fit-free since that...

Vets in the Czech Republic

Gail

Our garden has pretty much died in the drought that we are experiencing. We haven't had significant rain for several weeks. Much of the grass is turning brown; there are only some smal bit...

What a long time since I last wrote! Sorry, I have been very busy.

Do you have "indoor cats"? Ours are and so we have concerns about them escaping whilst materials and workers are coming and going. Occassionally, we allow a supervised trip outside and they...

Re: Any Expats in The Czech Republic ?

Hi Gail

You might be disappointed; only one of the M&S in Prague has a food shop and all of the other ones I've been to in CR did not have anything. Still, Brno is a big city and so you might be...

Happy New Year

Christmas and New Year were fine. There was no snow on the ground on Christmas Day but it started snowing hard the next day. After two days, we probably had more snow on...

Re: Any Expats in The Czech Republic ?

Gail,

It sounds like you have been really busy! It's probably a good thing for your building work that winter has been mild so far - the mildest since I arrived without a doubt.

I'm pleased to...

Re: Any Expats in The Czech Republic ?

The Slovak language is supposed to be very similar to Czech and so I can fully understand your difficulty! I have been learning Czech for nearly 4 years and I'm still struggling a lot. A good teacher...

Ahoj Eleno!

For something like this, you would be much better posting on expats.cz where there are many such requests and offers.

Sounds like we will be both signing reservation contracts today! One of our interested parties has put down a deposit and signed a reservation contract and I'll sign it this morning. So it...

I saw your post but I refrained from replying as I hoped you'd get a Slovakia resident to answer.

All I can say is that a 1700 euro net salary would be a pretty good amount in the...

Things are definitely looking up with the sale of our spare house. We have two serious potential buyers. One needs a loan but is sufficiently serious to pay the fee to have the bank’s...

Thanks for taking a look.

We know the agent quite well as he's already sold one house for us and we bought our current house from him. The previous owner of this house refused to allow any...

Sorry, I got that wrong. We had the agent visit us on Friday and he told us that the change is only a proposal and hasn't been implemented yet.

Re: Any Expats in The Czech Republic ?

Congratualtions on finding a buyer for your house! Here the seller pays the agents fees. The rules have changed about the tax though – the buyer has to pay it now like in the UK. Have you...

I can assure you that lack of patience in this regard is not a uniquely male preserve! I have exactly the same issue.

Yes, we have the same issue. Lots of sunny days and evening storms to give a good watering - perfect growing conditions. How much grass do you have? We've got over 4000 square metres of it....
