What about doing it in Gibraltar?

As I make creams, mozzie repellent and beauty products I usually get mine from soap making supply companies as it's also very good for the skin. Some garden centres sell it and you could ask at a herboristeria that sells aromatherapy oils and they could probably order some in. I will clarify with my...

I have turned my house upside down and can't find my dog's microchip card and passport. I did the most stupid thing by putting them 'somewhere safe' which of course means they'll never be seen again!!! Anyone know how much they are to replace and can the vet get a new card or do I need to contact th...

Neem oil is very good for killing spider mites and is non toxic too.

Yep, what Sid said. My mother, my son & I can't have red wine due to a hereditary condition but, we can have red wine sauce. I always make sure it's reduced really well, which also makes it tastier. You might want to do the wine in a separate pan then add to the fish otherwise your fish may over...

Do an internet search for 'protector enchufes' you'll find lots.

You will need to go to your local INSS office and they will be able to advise you. You may be eligible for 'ayuda' because you have a dependant child but it is not a large amount of money. You should make an appointment with your local social worker who can help you with applications for Red Cross p...

Hi Spud, As mentioned above, some medical conditions can cause excessive hair loss, as can some medications. Stress can be a definite cause as can hormonal fluctuations and nutritional deficiencies. As already mentioned, Vit B (especially B12), Vit C (especially if the hair is breaking and splitting...

Sounds like Sid's your man Oliveview
Or maybe have a scout round the garden centre and grow your own. If it's that expensive, sounds like it could be quite lucrative...

Have you tried using honey? The sugar substitutes are all highly suspect as they are all synthetic and come from questionable sources (Aspartame particularly, ants won't touch it!!) and there have been no long term health studies done on them. I don't allow my kids to have any kind of sugar substitu...

Oooops!!

So...........how's it going Frolitas??

That's good that the situation will now be under control :D I wish I had the money to pay for neutering for many of the animals around here and I have found that with many of the Spanish it is a question of the cost. I've met lots of Brits who cross their legs when you mention neutering their male d...

Sorry for your loss Katy :( I still remember losing my first cat over 20 years ago. She was 18-20 years old, we never knew her exact age as I found her (or she found me) on the street when I was 6 and she was at least 2 then. Her owners had moved and not bothered to take her (callous bar stewards). ...

Hi Frolitas, I live in Sabinillas and used to work in Gib. The journey is do-able and a nicer commute than London for example but, I was fed up of doing it after about 3 years. My children go to state school in Sabinillas and when they started there were very few British speaking children there whic...

Aw, fanks for those kind words Gordon - you made me blush :oops: I've got a few more book ideas bouncing around my head, at least 3 fiction but my next project is a simple cookbook for busy parents on a budget as I hate the culture of fast foods and ready meals that many of today's children are bein...

Oh dear Gordon, not a good move!! I expect you have jar shaped bruises and dents!! Incidentally, I have recently written an ebook on how to make your own natural beauty products as my products were not selling well due to the crisis. It is on sale as a kindle book on all the Amazon sites and will ho...

crazyred It may have been a good idea for the poster "FamilyinSpain" to have started off by saying that this site was recommended by a long-term member. The responses may have been different. I don't think anyone should have to justify their reasons for posting information or making a req...

I don't come over to Andalucia.com much anymore and the above comments are a perfect example of why. I know the OP and suggested that they post here to extend the survey and now wish I'd never bothered. I have met some lovely people through this forum and received a lot of good information and help,...

I can't recommend anyone as I am in a different area but, my neighbour just had her gas boiler changed to electric yesterday. The boiler cost €199 and fitting was €70. As she was given a quote without the plumber seeing the job, this went up to €90 as he had to remove cupboards and some other fiddly...
