It is vital you inform the insurers. Otherwise if your husband ends up having to be hospitalised abroad you could end up footing the bill! Please make sure you'll be covered.

I urgently need an electrician to fix my oil boiler....got a plumber out but there is something wrong with the electrics. Any electrician I phone can't call out till after Christmas so help urgently needed. I'm freezing!

I too would lodge to my Cr Card before I left. You don't need to do it in one lumpsum.. you can drip-feed as neccessary. Just make sure you transfer a few days before you need the cash. Make sure to bring the emergency contact numbers for your Cards and notify immediately if lost or stolen...

Does anyone know anything about Greenman Investments? They are not regulated by the Central Bank but apart from that I like their philosophy as I do feel the German model is sound. If anyone has any experience of them I'd love to hear their views.

I loved the Dalat area which you have to go up Marble Mountain to access. Easy Rider tours are great so I'd second those. Also I agree with pugwall. It's very easy to go overboard on the tailored clothes in Hoi An. Unless you know exactly what you want before you go you can end up buying...

Thanks all. I'll still do my checkin to be sure it works before I do too much shopping. Bargains are not bargains if I have to pay a fortune to check in my bag!

I'm really enjoying 'Generation War' or 'Unsere mutter Unsere vater' as it was called in Germany. I was living in Berlin when this was first shown and couldn't wait to see it with subtitles. It was highly controversial as it was the first German made film to show how normal families fared in...

Sorry if this has already been covered but I can't find it. I'm going to London for a few days. I don't really need to check in a bag but I may fancy doing some shopping over there. Can I do my online check in one way and then check in a bag for my return check in? Has anyone done this before?

I recently got an email purporting to be from Revenue...(page looked quite legit and linked to the real Revenue site)....saying I had overpaid my tax and was due a refund. To claim the refund I was supposed to fill out a lot of details, dob, bank account etc. I knew Revenue would already have...

That's great Gabrielle. Glad it's going well.

As an ex-banker my main problem with the transaction would be that it's at a weekend. If the transfer could be done on the Monday both parties could go into a branch - seeing as they're both the same bank- and do the transfer on the spot. This way an official will be overseeing the transaction...

I think there's a limit to online transfers of approx €5k per day. Business on line may be different but a good idea to check it out. A bank draft can only be purchased with cleared funds so it's pre-paid cheque that cannot bounce and cannot be stopped by the purchaser unless it's lost. Your...

Did it just go in today? I reckon it's bank code and will be clearer tomorrow.

Perfect Joe. That's more or less what I was thinking. Thanks again.

Thanks a million Joe. I'm aware I have to pay in the other country but their CGT is a lot less than ours. It might be a good time to sell some of my old bank shares. Get some use out of them :)

Thanks Joe. I really appreciate your help. The revenue site is not all that clear. If I sold some shares at a big loss can this be offset? The capital gains are on a foreign property. Does this make a difference?

I would really appreciate advice. For the calculation of CGT is the other income for that year taken into account? I have been unemployed for most of the past year so have not used up my tax credits. Is this offset against the CGT calculation? Sorry if it should be obvious but I cannot find...

I have used this company in the past to buy an apartment and am in the process of selling through them at the moment. http://www.adhoc-immo.de/ I found them very helpful and thorough. PM me if you want to know more. I do not have any connection with them other than a business relationship.

Sorry for hopping on the bandwagon here but can anyone tell me if Top Slicing applies to the retraining allowance too? I didn't realise I'd be taxed on this at all... I took VR in September of 2012 but some of my courses were in 2013 so not sure even if it does qualify if I'd have to wait till...

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere but a search is not throwing up any relevant info. I am possibly going to work for a cruise line, working 6 months on and then 2 off. The company inform me that my wages will be tax free. Is this possible? Surely I should be paying tax or even PRSI here? I...
