Dodgy AF but not uncommon. Tell amazon, they will be interested. I actually reported a company to Amazon, as they were offering €10 for posting a good review. Amazon just wrote back to me saying that I should be aware that some emails are spam.......... it didn´t make sense, but demonstrated to me ...

Darn, my Amazon balance reached 0€, and no decent voucher deals in sight. Any hints/tipps/deals that I might have overlooked? Dunno if it´s for you, but I spend some of my free time on the Swagbucks website, and regularly get Amazon vouchers from them. They have an "introduce a friend" th...

Thanks for all the tips so far! I do try not to get any thing wet into the car - kick snow off of boots before jumping in, hang car cover over the fence to dry during the day, try not to breathe too much (proving difficult!!!) And yes, Em, I had forgotten to use the air conditioner as well - thanks!...

Nothing to do with tyres here, but I was wondering if anybody has a tip for me to help stop the windscreen of my car from getting covered in condensation?

EDEKA; ehemals Abkürzung für Einkaufsgenossenschaft der Kolonialwarenhändler

It´s just marketing!!! A lot of it has to do with the people who want to have a "vegetarian/vegan day" in the week, but who do not want to not have the taste of meat/fish. I´ve been vegetarian for the past 44 years or so, and have absolutely no wish to eat anything that tastes of meat, so ...

What you failed to mention is that the water is coming out of the light fittings & the loo is lit up like the midday Sun

Ah! so it was you that came bounding up the stairs to inspect our humble abode!!!!
At least it passed the inspection!

After months of not even seeing a plumber or electrician in the house we are renovating, finally we had both of them in the house at the same time today!!! We now have a light in the bedroom, in the kitchen and in the loft!!! And in the bathroom we now have a handwash-basin, with hot and cold runnin...

Hi Peric, and welcome to Toytown! Well done for even getting as far as to post a question if you are that new to this sort of thing! How good is your German? Do you specifically need a Steuerberater/in who speaks English, or just one who knows about English pensions and other issues? Since Covid, I ...

Can´t help but wonder what kiddo thinks of the whole situation?
Does he even want to do Abi?
What would he like to do when he leaves school?

You might find that having a goal to work towards is just what he needs - it´s locating that goal that´ll be the problem!

... and would also allow you to be under the same health insurance if one of you is not working. - whatever you do, don´t forget that you are legally required to have health insurance here! Coming from the UK myself, it may seem a strange idea to have to have it, but there is no concept like the NH...

I wonder if he knows we are here?

Just want to mention that, as a landlady, anybody who cannot afford to pay the deposit in one go is like a red flag.
If that person cannot afford the deposit, will s/he be able to pay the rent on time on a continual basis ?

My concern is the landlord either a) not knowing about this law (incompetence), or b) claiming the contract supersedes it (lying) and withholds the keys until the entire deposit is paid upfront. Then we get in to lawyer & local court territory and at this point I wouldn't want this person as my...

@ Em - well done for getting the house cleared of personal stuff so quickly!
If you feel you know what you are doing with potential taxes and stuff, then yes, go ahead and rent the place out.
It seems a good idea to me to be able to get a guaranteed rental payment each month.

- not sure if the guy is saluting, or scratching his head, wondering what happened......?

Thanks guys!
energy levels are certainly picking up again now, but the amount of "slime" still hanging around is pretty amazing!

Isn´t there a saying something along the lines of "what doesn´t kill you, makes you stronger"? Can´t say as I feel any stronger yet!

I am down with the ´flu at the mo - hit me like a truck last Thursday, and hasn´t moved on yet. So, last week I got written off sick for Thursday and Saturday with just a phonecall. As I was still ill on the Monday, I called the surgery again, hoping for a couple more days of being written off. But ...

Never heard of Keepa either, Panda - did you just stumble across it, or something?
