Just had a thought..... (dangerous I know...) Would there be any call for a mobile gardening / maintenance service for expats or for locals for that matter?Mainly aimed at expats who need to make sure that their gardens are kept down when they ...
Prices have risen, quite a lot! 25 leva was what the guy who did some weed cutting a few times for me last year asked for.Last month I paid someone different to cut down the jungle of weeds alongside our house that had grown up since it was last ... Read More

@fluffy2560 Thanks, I will need to sleep on that one. It will be cheaper to fly with less hassle lol. I don't think my back or hips will survive lol. I can't get there till Christmas this year; we had a loss in the family, so that put us right ... Read More

Been in Bulgaria for nearly 20 years and have been in 15 places to live and finally bought a house but renovating it proved to hard so I went on holiday and have not returned yet till I decide what to do and that has been 2 years now so I decided to ...
But he wouldn't have to take an AI girlfriend out to dinner and tell her she's beautiful. What a bit of poor grammar compared to all the advantages? 馃ぃ Read More

I definitely need one that says "Minimum 50% cat hair content".Sadly I can't feel that Temu is so cheap anymore, with the 3 euro tax fee per type of item! It's quite put a dent in my enthusiasm for Temu Bg shopping. Things are often much cheaper in ... Read More

@janemulberry You could always drive over with the furries (and their pet passports) - it's not an enormously long trip and undoubtedly cheaper than using a Pet Transport company.. - @JimJ That was the original plan, especially as we have five to ... Read More

Unfortunately, I don't think you'll find the girlfriend you hope for here! Most of the women here are married and mature, already settled in Bulgaria or own a house and are preparing to be settled. Especially those expats who speak decent Bulgarian ... Read More

Hello everyone, Moving to Bulgaria reshapes many aspects of life, and friendships are often one of the biggest changes. Whether you're maintaining lifelong bonds back home, building new local relationships, or forming connections with fellow ...

It sounds as if you have a wonderful plan and I hope it all works out!Moving our cats here is likely to cost us more than buying the house did!What to move? Things that are personal and not easily replaced, or likely to be way more expensive in Bg ... Read More
How do you manage if your car breaks down by jeanmandredeix
Just a general query here out if interested.Our van recently wouldn鈥檛 start, charged battery, still no joy. Hubby decided it most likely was the starter motor. This is a Sunday. So, we only have the van and we had taken out breakdown cover ...
I hope you can get it fixed without any problems! Glad he drove you home. We'll be in much the same situation when we get a vehicle here, no garage in the village any more and no taxi service. @JimJ's suggestion sounds good. Read More
