Rain most of the day!
How wonderful!!!

A Rechnungsabschluß, at least with one of my banks (VR), comes at the end of every month. It is the amount that the bank is charging you for the transactions you have made during that month, and should be available to read in the "small-print" you have agreed to with your bank. Not all ban...

just wondering what pepole are charging these days per word or per hour for proof reading.

I`ll charge you a beer for correcting "pepole" to "people"

So sad!
The Good Life was really a novel idea in it´s time!

Trying my best to live my own "good life" now

Having googled the situation, it seems the recommendation is to report it to the police, so I took the time this morning to make an "Anzeige" against persons unknown.
Whilst I doubt very much that I will ever see my money again, I feel that I have now done everything I can.

Dear me, you need to change your password. And if you used that same password elsewhere, also change it there. :D Couldn´t even get in with my password!!! I only noticed because I used my Payback card at Edeka this week, and at the bottom it always shows how many Payback points you have. Ended up c...

Not exactly an attractive Payback deal, but I wanted to mention that somebody, somehow, has managed to empty my Payback account, and has taken €120 from my account!!!
Just spoken to a lady at Payback, and they cannot do anything about it!!!
Not having a good day today!!!

Mine has spare batteries, a charger for batteries, extra washers and bits for taps, timer switches for Christmas lights, etc, a couple of screwdrivers, a set of Alan Keys, and some packs of vegetable seeds. Just had a look, and I also have a torch, and extension lead, and some of those felt circle t...

I think a large part of the problem here is that dual citizens have previously been able to travel to the UK and back from wherever in Europe on their "foreign" passport or ID card. And with a UK passport costing around £100, many have chosen, over the years to only use their resident card...

From what I`ve heard, renting out a furnished flat is the best option, as the rules and regulations are more relaxed.
However, I am not an expert in the field!

Gardening-wise, anyone planted tomatoes or anything else inside yet? Anyone ever done parsnips at all? Planted my toms last Thursday, and now have them sat on a sunny windowsill downstairs. I generally plant them at the beginning of March, but I got a bit enthusiastic this year! As for parsnips - t...

I bought once a sleeping sofa and mattress at Höffner and it was delivered to my home free of charge. They also took my old sofa and mattress. Free of charge as well. I don’t think IKEA offers similar service.

Ikea does do deliveries, but at a price.

He was released again last night:

I like that concept, because it gives people who are no longer very steady on their feet (or do not own a car) the opportunity to get there without much effort, because they can go to a place nearby rather than a place centralized and overcrowded. If you read the link, you can actually have a home ...

Strangely enough, the mobile Burgeramt is in a few places:

Some good ideas coming in here, thanks!
Does anybody know which foodstuffs one can import, and which are forbidden? It´d be a pity to try taking something that then gets confiscated!

Hi guys, just a quick question here: A friend of mine recently married an American, and she will be traveling to the States at the end of February to meet his family for the first time. He has already taken back beer krugs, so do you have any other recommendations as to what would be appropriate? Th...
