Re: Recommendations regarding inherentance legalities
I realized now that when my mother in law passed away ca 2yr ago, and my wife inherited half of her small apartment (which is in Japan), we did not inform the FA.I understand we should have done it at the time, and not having done it then we must do it now. Question: how to know the value of said ap...

2025 tax return - claiming rebate for medical expenses
I asked this question already, and I got good answer, especially from our wonderful Panda. I search for that discussion but could not find it (perhaps it was in the old forum?). So here we go again... In 2025 I/we spent much for health care, dentist, ca 9keur. I intend to report these costs in the 2...

UK rental - expat Landlord insurance
Hello everyone, I need to buy house insurance for our UK rental. No idea why, but most providers of Landlord insurance require the landlord to reside in the UK. Otherwise they simply won't insure. Very annoying. There are exceptions of course, Direct Line for example, though I don't like their quote...

Some of the advantages are 1) no need to spend extra for Fahrradk...

Re: Why are you happy today?
Happy today because I just booked the next Cross Country skiing holiday, in the Dolomites, early february.
Bestest activity in the bestest location. Delighted.
The only minus is that I won't have my lovely two with me, they're not into outdoor endurance sport and mountains.

Re: Today's rant about whatever....
Well, maybe I am getting old and complaining a lot these days, but I have a pet topic at the moment - electricians! Since the end of august we have had the local electricians (based about 100m away as the crow flies) coming and going and fitting solar panels to our roofs. The final panels were fitt...

Re: Today's rant about whatever....
Sold an item on Kleinanzeige, a bicycle fork. I packet it well, bought the postage / QR code online, making sure I selected exact size and weight, and took it to the nearest DHL where they happily accepted it. Days later the buyer complained he's not got it yet. Days later the item is returned to me...

Re: Why are you unhappy today?
We continue the journey. Just a little delayed.
ICE from Munich at 18:18 instead of 17:26, will arrive in Pinneberg at 00:53 instead of 23:24.
Pity.
Spending the night in Munich with my teeny, again, and possibly meeting some of the local TT friends, would have been nice.

Re: Why are you unhappy today?
We're in the train, RJ86 from Italy, maybe 20 min from arrival.
But the big unknown is whether DB will give us hotel, or tell us to continue with a later train and arrive 1:00 am, which unlike original plan is actually the next day

Re: Why are you unhappy today?
So DB put us in a Hotel in Munich. We had our fun time, including food and drink and music at Kilian, Irish Pub behind Frauenkirche. I`m sure that if you had said so before, half the Munich TT team would have been there with you!!! Maybe next time, huh? "Next time" that I'm forced to spen...

Herbst Schulferien right now, at least here in S-H. Grab the chance to travel to Italy visiting Oma, with lovely teen daughter. So we get to Pinneberg station in time, ready for our 12hr journey (plus overhead, total like 14hr). And even before departure DB announced our Regional got delayed, so we...
