Hi Jimmyp Glad to hear you got sorted. Yes the beer fund is very important :D . We took advantage of the good weather and the Bank Holiday and took off for a few days - lucky you - not long now until you go to Portugal. We have to wait a while yet. Have a good one and don't drink all the beer money ...

You are supposed to go to www.banif.pt and click "IN ENGLISH" then insert your contract number in the text box "Contract No" then click "OK". A new wind...

Hi lesley jean, thanks for your kind words. I bet you can't wait until 2011 to get out of the rat race etc. Portugal has such a slower pace of life and we will be looking forward to that and the glorious sunshine (most of the time) except chistmas (with the winds and rain etc.)

Hi Lesley Jane. Thanks, you are my first forum contact. Hope to speak again. Are you resident in Portugal at the minute?

Hello everyone in the forum. :D I think this is a wonderful idea. I am new to the forum and I hope to stay in contact with you all until we (my husband and my 11 yr old) drive down via boat from Cork to Roscoff then down through France to Spain and then up to Portugal. We shall be staying in Carvoei...
