We have used a friends mobile phone "plug in card" with our laptop in CVO, does anyone know the costs of these?
They seem ideal for just checking emails.
I think it was Vodafone, but can't find any Portuguese sites in English to explain it.

Thanks

Hi

If you follow the motorway you can't miss Ikea. It is on your left hand side. You just leave the motorway as you see the very large Ikea sign.

Hi

My wife and I did the trip a few weeks ago and it was about 2.5 hrs after leaving CVO at 6am. We saw very little trafic at this time and we went direct to the airport.

It seems simple, offer the single vaccination or the triple. Everyone is covered. The triple vaccine is slightly higher in costs due to the three visits as they are not done together. But how much money is wasted on other silly adverts and "Labour PR"? We are often told we now have a "choice", but m...

A tip if you are looking for the same as us, look hard locally and you can find good cleaners, but you need to look hard.

Hi All. We have just returned from a quick trip to CVO and had a very useful chat with a nurse in Lagoa. Thanks for all the comments and a note regarding the new measles "outbreak", perhaps the same media frenzy that highlighted the MMR is now stirring things up for the other side to balance it out?...

Hi Lesley

If the government wanted 100% vaccination then why not offer the MMR or three single jabs? The three does need more time and the worry is some may not complete the course of jabs, but better that then some having no jabs.

PM - you think they are scare sories, and yes the media do love such topics as they make good headlines. But some people have experience with MMR that makes them not want to use it. And to be honest I don't trust most of what the present government are saying, and if Princess Tony would say he had h...

Perhaps people should just read the topic and not "assume" motives.
It was a simple request for local information.
We have already had a other children vaccinated in the UK, thank you.
Personal reasons, and lots of research have lead us to not want the MMR.

No, the reason I ask is because there are a lot of dubious clinics in uk offering the single jabs and I want to be absolutely 100% sure that whoever is administering medicine to my children is a professional and the vaccine is licensed and 100% safe. I really don't know where to start here. I though...

The MMR topic is very emotional to a lot of people, and some prefer to just tell people "it is OK". If Mr T Blair will not say what is good enough for his child, why should anyone believe the MMR is as safe as the government say?

Single Measles Jab?

We have twin boys who have not had the MMR yet. I'd like to have the single vaccines which aren't available in the UK and was wondering if I could arrange to have their measles injection while on holiday this summer. We'll be in CVO for 4 weeks from the end of July. Can anyone give me some advice on...

Reliable cleaner required

We are in need of a local reliable cleaner to do some cleaning/laundry for our apartment while we or family use it.

Any tips, references, or people wanting to offer please contact me.

Thanks

Paul
