Has anyone ordered online through Ikea Sicily by sarah101

Hi, just wandering if anyone has ordered online through Ikea Sicily. There are a good few things we would like to purchase but are struggling on the website even tho we have translated the page. Maybe our bad Internet connection we have at the mo ...

Jack

I have done exactly this... Below is my research... As a direct comparison, for an order of exactly the same items from IKEA, with www.maltashopper.com it would be €372.86 for the order and €180.84 shipping and delivery, with www.holland-malta.com ... Read More

Offering tutoring and proof reading - can anyone help? by 165721

Hi, My partner is looking for work as an English Literature teacher (she has 9 years experience), and is sending her CV to the independent/private schools. In the meantime she is trying to get some interest for services she is offering in proof ...

Jack

Driving from the UK by Rocking Ken

Hi All, Plans are going well for the move to Malta :D I was wondering if anyone has actually driven from the UK? I am looking at importing my car once I'm in Malta as I would have had it for the two years and hopefully avoid the import tax. Would ...

Jack

And then having got here, we applied for exemption with a view to driving it home at the end of our stay. We were turned down on the basis of the time the vehicle was owned, as it was 2 days under the 2 years (even though the car had been ours for ... Read More

Just to add my tuppence worth... We drove down last Christmas. The whole trip I calculated as costing us just under £600 not including hotels and food on the way down, which is a cost you can control. We did Eurotunnel - France - Switzerland - ... Read More

Cheers scubaboy, she isn't an EFL teacher, she is an academic English teacher of 9 years. She has done a little EFL but it really isn't her bag - but it's still an option should it get desperate. She has applied to many English jobs as advertised ... Read More

Msida has recently been all but washed away! If you do live there make sure its off street level and don't park a car on the road... 380 for 2 bedrooms is not bad. Be aware that estate agents charge 50% of a month as a fee. Utilities - my wife and ... Read More
