recommended heaters in winter? by stef88
Hi 😊 can anyone recommend the best type of heater for winter that is least likely to cause any damp /mould and best for if you are asthmatic. Thanks!
A dehumidifier is a must!! With moisture in the air, your home will feel much colder, without the moisture it is instantly warmer. Without the dehumidifier, it is nearly impossible to dry washing inside too. I have a stand alone dehumidifier as ... Read More

The ice rink in Bay Street was a bit of a joke. Had a circumference of about 15 metres, maybe less. It was nothing remotely like an average UK ice rink. If I was asked to compare it to either a UK ice rink or a kiddies paddling pool- the paddling ... Read More
Moving to Malta - this is IT! by Rawbiz
Hello Everyone! I have been a member of this forum on and off for about 2 years, when I first started looking into everything in and around Malta. Now, long story short, I apply for my 265th position and BOOM, out of nowhere I have a contract 2 ...
I don't think you need to book taxi in advance. Airport taxis are fine if you go to the taxi desk inside the airport - walk diagonally left as you walk out from arrivals. Just make sure you agree the price first- should be around 20 euros to ... Read More
Give birth in Malta (EU parents) by mantonas
Hi all, quick question to anyone who might be able to explain me few legal issues. So, my wife is due in about 2 weeks time and she already has the cesarean booked at Mater Dei hosp. My question is, as we're both Portuguese, what are the legal ...
I am EU and had a baby in Mater Dei 2 years ago. My experience was.....No birth certificate is issued at Mater Dei- they just give you a small piece of paper, that you must take with you to register the birth. Birth must be registered in the Evans ... Read More
Advice on schools and areas continued! by Lori73
I'm visiting Malta with my family this week and was wondering if we could meet up with anyone who has experience of sending their kids to state schools. I've been finding it really difficult to get much information out of the schools and have tried ...
Hi, I have a daughter in state school. Not sure how much help I would be but I can maybe meet Saturday morning/ early afternoon. However, I will be accompanied by a 6 year old and a toddler! Read More

Bed's by Rocking Ken
Hi All, Is there any bed/furniture shops that sell double bed's that don't cost the earth?? tried looking in yellow pages which was not very good :mad: Just looking for a standard double divan with mattress and no headboard. Many thanks Ken ...
I would say to look in the Bargain magazine too. If you see a 'special offer' and decide to go to the shop, take the magazine with you,as I have seen a difference in price. Im not sure if The Atrium sells beds, but they are advertising that they ... Read More

Nuts various in bulk - Where to buy? by rooikat
We make our own muesli but supermarkets like Pavi, Lidl, Scotts and others, all sell in smallish packets at prohibitive prices per kilo. Anyone know where to get nuts in bulk - also oats, pumpkin and sesame seeds, raisins etc.
The cheapest nuts I have come across are distributed by a company called Rokky. I paid 3.50e for half a mixed kilo of brazil nuts, cashews, almonds, hazelnuts and peanuts. It may be worth contacting them directly and asking if they can do you a ... Read More
dehumidifiers by mada3
Hi, I saw that someone posted a link from amazon where you can buy dehumidifiers for closets, bathrooms etc. I think the link was taken off the forum because I can't seem to find it. Could someone possibly send me the link to me please? Or can you ...
I notice that the first page of dehumidifiers are 500mls. I empty at least 2 litres every day from my dehumidifier and around 4 litres+ if I have washing (that is on a clothes horse). Read More

play based learning? by Corrin
Hi, we are possibly moving with my husbands job to malta in the new year. I was wondering whether there are many primary school options which offer play based learning in malta? This is the type of school we were hoping for my son to attend in the ...
Verdala International school is very much free play in the Kinder years- that is my knowledge but it is only based on what friends have told me. There is also a Montessori Nursery in Kappara (I think). My daughter is in Government school and ... Read More
