I will have a good look through. Thanks again.

Oh wow Warwick, thank's a lot. will have a look through. exactly the info I needed. My husband will be there for 4/5 weeks, so will have to check it out.

Ah, well that would explain it.!I will have to phone Cosmote again .I did try, but when the third person i got put through to, answered, I got cut off. After that I lost the will to live. The person I spoke to originally said that if I chose one of their pre paid plans, I would, depending on which o...

Hi, does anyone have PAYG Mobile phone with Cosmote, and can help me please. The Cosmote 13888 number told me to dial 1317 to hear info about different Bundles you can buy to use my mobile while working in the UK. They assured me that there was an option to "Press 9 for English" as there i...

I'm pretty sure that Cretan animal Protection, who are a rescue, also transport non rescue dogs from the Elounda/ Agios region. They use the vets previously mentioned for the paperwork. .They are on facebook.

You would be fine bobscott. :) . Most replacement joints are fine in the scanner after they have been in place for about 6 weeks. After this time, they are pretty firmly embedded.

It's 3 years since I left my job in the X Ray department, but unless things have changed, you won't be able to go into the MRI scanner. x

Hi, No problem. Hope it works out for them.

Hi, have just spoken to my vet. As far as he is aware, the only Vet who offers this is in Athens (affiliated to the University). He is an expert in his field, and charges 600/700 euros per eye. Of course things could be different in the west of the island. x

Hadn't thought of that Warwick, I must just have been lucky? So, maybe check with the Greek site as well.

Thanks Tim, that's kind. Will bear it in mind. Happy Shopping.

Hi, yes you have to go to the Ikea shop (just down the road from the airport) and order. They will ring you in 5 days to tell you that your things have arrived, you can then go and collect. I usually select my things from the English web site, and write down the name of the item. The staff are reall...
