I have been having a spring clean and I have some boxes of books that I am willing to give away free to anyone who would meet me close to my home to pick them up.

Questions Asked
We are having to travel to the UK by car in the next week. Does anybody know if we can buy the 2 breathalysers from one of the garages in Switzerland near the border? Or if not, do you know where we can buy them before we get into France?

Ok, so I have got the modified F24 form, and I have got the printout of my rendita cadastale from the comune, and I have done the calculations. But I am now stuck. What do I put in the following boxes - Sezione, cod. tributo and codice ente????

I have an old house, over 150 years old that I have owned for more than five years. I want to put it on the market but I need to know if I need a certicato agibilita or anything about the energy rating.

We are getting ready to put our house on the market, but I need some serious advice. The house is an old farmhouse, about 150 years old. I have owned it for more than five years and only renovated inside.

Could someone please tell me if I am entitled to have a reduction in my rubbish tax, and if I am, how do I go about it? We have a house outside a village which we use in the summer and an apartment which we use for the winter.

My husband has just reminded me that if you have a car that is over twenty years old you can get very cheap insurance and reduced road tax.

After many years of staying here in Italy, we have decided to make a grand pilgrimage to the UK this winter for Christmas, visiting new grandchildren etc.

Well it is THAT time of year again and I have to renew the car insurance. Up till now I have always used Direct Line because it was the cheapest, but to me it was always extortionate!

We have an Italian dog who is fully vaccinated, microchipped and got his pet passport. Normally, when we go to the Uk we leave him in kennels, but this autumn we intend to go to the UK for some time and are taking him with us.

Hi, we have had insurance from Direct Line here in Italy, and they are far cheaper than Italsure, and we have found them to be very good. You can get a quote online, and then get it online too.
Has anyone been here for the day? Looking at the prices page it seems to only quote staying in a cabin for a few days??? Am I being thick? Don't answer that!
Thanks to both of you. Yes I have heard of the water park at Cingoli but know nothing about it. It is worth trying out. I don't think the big one will be quite our thing yet! It is scary enough trying to hold three wriggly children who all think they can swim, but who all make a good attempt at drowning themselves and me!!
Thanks Moxie. We are planning on going to the beach on Tuesday and Wednesday, but we think we may have to be back here when the storms come! Yes, they enjoy Lake Fiastra and it is good when it is too hot!
I bought this book from Amazon and when it arrived my husband took it first and read it avidly. He really enjoyed it, but he is a bit more of an anorak with books than I am. However, I read it after him, and I found it really readable, fascinating and an excellent book. It is particularly good because the author has used sources such as people's letters and diaries which make it very real from the perspective of all sides. I would say though that a more comprehensive map helped me to be certain what was happening and where! It has made me much more aware of why our neighbours told us various tales of life during the War, and how it affected ordinary people here in the Marche.
Hi, we are resident and we are pensioners, and have a pension from the UK which is taxed in the UK and then transferred to our Italian bank account. My husband is over 60 and neither of us have ever had to pay for a checkup or a visit to the doctor. The only thing that we have had to pay for is a scan or blood test or visit to a specialist etc but it is not excessive. We have never been asked how much our income is since we became resident.
