Re: device not connecting to the home WiFi

I suspect your new devices want to access WLan/WiFi on the 5 GHz band, so please turn that on in your access point/on your FritzBox! https://avm.de/service/wissensdatenbank/dok/FRITZ-Box-7490/1349_5-GHz-Funknetz-gelegentlich-deaktiviert-Radar-Signal/#:~:text=Die%20FRITZ!Box%20stellt%20das,)%20genut...

device not connecting to the home WiFi

In the last 1 month I'm on my 3rd device no longer connecting to the home WiFi. A 2nd robot vacuum cleaner (brand new, prior to this it was another vacuum cleaner, same maker, Eufy, and an Epsom printer) It says "experiencing issues with your network, check the password, get nearer, or reboot&q...

Re: German husband moving abroad

Not really related but.... Some countries (well, Italy at least) let a spouse apply for citizenship even if the couple never lived in the country. Only being married for some years, plus language, is sufficient. The English wife of my Italian cousin got Italian citizenship, although she never lived ...

Re: German husband moving abroad

Back the the original question: can Julia stay here in Germany, while her German husband resides elsewhere, and Julia's visa is linked to the two of them living at the same (German) address? I think the answer is No. Sorry. I don't think tax matter at all. He will have to report for taxes wherever h...

Only 200quid? Seems very little.

Re: Money-saving tipps

After boiling food, like pasta, do you throw the hot water in the drain? I rather fish out the food, drain it, and leave the hot water in the pot (closed lid, so steam stays in), so its heat is not thrown out into the drain but rather slowly leaks into the room/kitchen. This allows you to run the ho...

Re: becoming a UK non resident for tax matters

Germany has had the right to tax your worldwide income I think this is wrong. Germany taxes the portion of your income that originates in Germany. Oder...? Nope. For example, if you live in Germany, close to the Dutch border, and you actually work in the Netherlands, commuting by car every day, you...

Re: becoming a UK non resident for tax matters

I do not have German income so I have never done a German tax return You are living in Germany and you are having income. You have to pay taxes on that in Germany, not somewhere else. Again, isn't the case that you pay income tax to Germany only for the German income? I expect our fav tax guru will...

Re: Gardening

Thanks for the tomato answers.
Yes, I did do plenty of holes at the bottom of the 500ml yogurt pots.

Good news: they now got their first step onto the property ladderπŸ™‚

Re: Gardening

Guys, do your tomatoes grow? I'm pretty frustrated because, same as in past years, the tomato plants I started from the seed are very promising at the beginning, but soon after that they stop growing and die. Different types but generally almost same behavior. Not all of them, but most. Not sure wha...

I think we had this on the earlier forum. I am planning to "save" money soon by collecting cherries. Makes a bit of work but it feels much better than buying fruit. ... What other ways can one save cash (or time, or energy..)? .. I make ca 200 jam jars per year, all the fruit is from my g...
