Whilst sometimes simple words seem to pass me by, it is amazing what can be plucked out of a distant memory!.

Just a warning for everyone, a few days ago a friend was badly stung by wasps that had formed a nest inside an outside shed, he was attacked when entering and required urgent hospital treatment.

I have a very good friend coming out to Italy to spend 2 months touring, and hopefully buying a small second home here.

Trying to find my way around this new community, and am slightly better than I was, but with so many threads I am now having difficulty in remembering which one I posted in, so searching for an answer is a task in itself, any easy way to track you

But important to try to give the correct information and use the correct words...nits aside!.

Small point, but 5yrs residency qualifies you for permanent residency...with its attendant health cover which gives you the same rights as Italians. I think Citizenship is something else again, no doubt Penny has good information on this.

In my experience as a permanant resident here in Italy. Public sector pensions taxed in the uk, private pensions as Fillide says taxed in Italy, and any monies earned in Italy also taxed here. Would advise the use of a good commersialista who understands the English and the Italian tax systems, and who already has clients with these particular requirments, can recommend a very good one in Marche if anyone is interested.

Love your positive post sagraiasolar.....and the site loaded this morning in double quick time!. They may not be buying in Tuscany, but they certainly still are in Marche.

We always send detailed instructions to our apartment, however some seem to leave this at home and rely on dumb dumb.....hence lost, lost. Last guests found by neighbour and hand delivered to the door, must have wondered what this toothless 80yrs old was taking them to....welcome to Marche!....sweet. neighbourhood watch at its best.

I sympathise Penny, frustrating and annoying. When we were selling our house in Sussex, we would spend precious Saturdays cleaning, making sure the garden looked good and then the so++ didnt turn up. Nothing more weird than the potential buyer. You will get there in the end!.

I am spraying the chicken coop and a corner of the pen with the garden hose, so that Rose gets a nice cool mud-bath I may well join her!

I have found that blood stains (the next gory challenge to apartment owners!) will come out by soaking in salt and cold water, and then an enzyme wash, and then the full sun drying. Tedious, but effective, as for other linens as Raggio suggests, buy bright colours for towels and bathmats.

And you will probably get it at Fermo, we luckily have never had a problem with them.
