Hi. I wonder if anyone can help? I obtained a postepay card recently whilst in Italy. I had not received a text toopen an online account so it was all done as a fresh application in Italy.

Hello Tess Have just read your email. where about in Italy are you? My wife Rose & I feel so sorry for your plight hope this does not set you off. Any consolation its v/cold, snowing and road salt is runing out. Our house is in Cassino Lazio and there its closer to 20 deg. How can we help? I visit the house and work on it but do not speak hardly any Italian but in desperation I use any trick in the book to get what I want. Can I ask a question or two? good. can you get a tv & a cheap dvd player then get some films delivered even through the internet & sent to you.Just to hear english spoken can help. I think you need some material to cover the walls to help warm the place up & to brighton up the place. Ikea sell blankets & material cheap. Sorry am I going on too much? The Italians can seem rather conservative like some brits even suspicious but from my experience as soon as they know what you are about ( and you are a woman with a child) I think you will be fine. Take a piece of wood (linea) & maybe a picture of depleted supplies on your camera/phone & on a piece of paper write dove (where) & the e for euro to say how much I always have a pen & paper then I can draw or write have a go. I have even rang my wife & then let her talk to the stranger, I then wait for the smile or even chuckle from my new mate. I will stop now & let you digest & hopefully come back. All the best David
Hi Elliven Many thanks for your reply. Our house is in Cassino. My knowledge of the area is not so good as yours, I do agree though that it very nice & tranquile. I wish I had time to enjoy Italy more but the house is newly built plus a large garden, so plenty to do. Thanks again David
Thanks for the advice - it's nice to hear from people with experience and see the subject from two different points of view. I do agree it is an expensive luxury, however the temperatures at our house reach over 35C in the summer, and it is a rather relaxing thought that you could take a dip in a pool during that time! If you don't mind me asking, what made you choose the Lazio region to visit? Do you have a place to stary when you visit Italy, and if so does it have a pool there? Thanks again for the advice, and look forward to hearing from you, Regards, David
Hi Annec, Thanks for all the advice - seems there is quite a lot to think about - it's not just a splash in the water, it's a hole in the bank...but who dares wins? Do you mind me asking if you rent your property out and whereabouts is it, in relation to the sea and summer temperatures etc? If so, did you ever rent it out before you had a pool? I was thinking about going along the lines of a non-chlorine pool as they do seem to be slightly - and I use that term loosely, less maintenance. Is yours a chlorine pool and what size is it? I would be able to get somebody to maintain the pool in the summer months and periodically throughout the winter, but am not sure of the running costs of this. How long do you spent preparing your pool to swim in during the summer months? Thanks for all your help, apologies for the barrage of questions - look forward to hearing from you! Regards, David.
