"Dear Angela
Thanks for your reply and well done. The DHL price seems to be about right. Let me know, please, how DHL perform as they have had a hard time getting established in the USA. I hope all goes smoothly.
Best wishes

Hi - a question for you North Americans out there!Recently an american friend has had to go back to the US unexpectedly and I've agreed to send her clothes etc on to her. I had a look at Colissimo website (La Poste) but it seems quite expensive for a small amount (or maybe I'm not used to the going rate? Plus it's airmail only) & I have started phoning local transporters but so far it's Non Madame we don't ship for Individuals, businesses only.Does anyone know if there is a cheaper…See More

Bridesmaids' dresses
Posted on August 12, 2011 at 18:11 3 Comments 0 Likes
My daughters have been asked to be bridesmaids on 8th October & although I have a dress for the small one,(burgundy full length; lots of 'froufrou'!) I have suddenly realised I need to get a move on looking for the 2 oldest girls (same colour but plainer). Can anyone reccommend a good place/site for this; I was wondering about renting them but don't know if it's feasible...any ideas welcome! (Because I can't ask on Facebook etc as the person concerned will get to see)Thankyou!

Hello Angela, I think that the CELTA is the very best all-round English teaching certificate, but as I said it's expensive and extremely intense (or so I've been warned). It takes a whole month of intensive study and teaching. It would certainly be covered by a DIF. I'm doing mine in this coming August. So let's keep in touch and I'll tell you all about it. here's my personal email: nelson-court.dedene@neuf.fr Best to you,
