Holidays to Australia by pramsham
Hi all, Any australian here in mauritius?? Am going for a 2 weeks vacation to Australia Perth end of Feb. If any australian here has to send any parcel, do contact me. Will be more than happy to help. Regards.

TV Repair by VeroniqueL
Does anyone know of a good TV repairer in the North - I didn't buy my TV here so can't go back to the shop. Thanks in advance.
Haha! Well Doctor, your patient is a bit big and cumbersome for me to bring to you - are you able to make a house-call, and open it up here for a look? If so, I'll send you my phone number and address by PM. I live in Trou aux Biches - I'm ... Read More

Sofa's and humidity by mnj
Hi, I'm moving across in 6 weeks and we are currently sorting out renting our flat in UK we have one dilemma as to whether we leave the sofas here or ship them. Shipping them with rest of stuff would save us money but the sofas are fabric and I ...
Bring them - you'll only get mould when things are in un-aired cupboards, or get rained on. We've never had a problem with furniture. Also, your choice of furniture is limited here - the cheaper items aren't exactly gorgeous, and the more expensive ... Read More
