I am a non resident and non property owner (hoping to be in the future!) and I got my fiscal number via a solictor who did the whole thing in a day and completely free of charge!

thank you for the info.

hope to find out more on schooling soon!

Apart form the internataional schools, does anyone have any experience of the local schools in and around CVO?? I will be moving to CVO early next year and would prefer my 2 to go to a local school and dont know where to start! Lastly but my no means least!! My budding 5yr Beckham/Figo would love to...

I agree - they dont do themselves any favours and Scolari should know better than to encourage that kind of behaviour. They did well to get this far but should concentrate on their skills and not dirty tactics.

Thank you both
I'll look into these.

Many thanks
Jenny

Are there any mortgage brokers based in the Algarve? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.

I always use www.1stoptravelinsurance.co.uk Their rates are very low and very easy to book online.

Hi Carole
Thanks for the suggestion but its not that either! I think I'm going to take a cutting and ask a local garden centre...I'll let you know what the answer is!

I'm afraid my portuguese isnt that good - I have no idea how to ask for your potatoes!!

Good luck

Hi ellie Thanks for your suggestions! I've been 'googling' them to find pictures. I suppose the nearest one is the evergreen euonymus, but the flowers are very small star shaped lilac flowers that make up a bigger flower at the end of each branch/stem. I think you can also get them with white flower...

Don't know where to put this question so sorry if its in the wrong place! I'm trying to find out the name of a shrub but not having any luck! (Ellie - you'll probably know this one!) It is a shrub with green/white varigarted leaves and has small purple/lilac flowers. Any ideas ?- thanks in advance! ...
