We're finally leaving in three weeks and are selling all of our worldly goods. Some of the pictures can be found here https://picasaweb.google.com/wormiNtrude/MovingSale?authkey=Gv1sRgCNyDt-TSrLPCRQ# There is a tonne of stuff that I haven't taken photos of (or I'll be doing it all day) so if...

Hi everyone My husband left the power adapter to his macbook pro at a client's yesterday and won't be able to get it back for 2 weeks! (best case scenario...the worst case scenario is that it's already been swiped!). He's now completely out of charge and is in the middle of an online course that...

A friend just forwarded me a post that was published on BA newcomers. I know there's quite a few animal lovers on this forum so I thought I'd take the liberty and re-post here: Recently a lady died and her granddaughter turned her two cats, one male and one female both beautiful black and...

I've touched on various aspects of this subject a couple of times over the past 6 months but I was wondering if anyone had flown with their animal from Buenos Aires into the UK specifically. We just got a quote from the cargo service (DAF) that shocked me a little...US$1900 PER CAT!! (we have...

My husband and I are planning a move within the next couple of months and have decided to start getting rid of some of our stuff now. It's mostly books (about 40 in English) and a few, barely used clothes...all reasonably priced (some free). And there is also some computer stuff and a few...

I was wondering if anyone that has already flown with their cat or dog could recommend a place to buy an IATA approved pet carrier in Capital Federal. I had a quick look online and no particular brand was suggested. I'm also looking at size requirements for a cat and "Size 2" seems to be the one...

Continuing its work campaigning for an increase in the range of sizes stocked in Argentine clothing stores, AnyBody Argentina has started a petition asking the government to implement a NATIONAL size Law. If you'd like to support it, please sign and forward the link to all your friends...

Has anyone else been completely knocked sideways by the sudden changes in UK family visa rules? We were literally days away from submitting our application before the new rulings came into effect on the 9th of July. The changes make it nigh-on impossible for couples where a partner is from...

For those of you sick to your back teeth at not being able to find clothes to fit in Argentina... (and those of you that sympathise with our plight!), AnyBody Argentina will be in Plaza Francia (by the church) with the interactive art installation, (the Model Metre) and a petition calling for an...

Hi everyone I know that there are a few animal lovers in this forum so I thought I'd spread the word. A couple of days ago, a cat appeared outside my building in Chacarita. None of the neighbours know where's he's come from but he's super-friendly, rolling onto his back when people pass him by...

Hi everyone I was just wondering if there was anyone out there who had successfully applied for a spouse visa to the UK and wouldn't mind me getting in contact with a few queries. I have been married for two years (in a relationship for several more) to my Argentine husband and we're just...

I bought some Rocket Dog biker boots (size 39 or big 38) on impulse in London over the holidays and soon realised that they do not suit my chicken-legged self! They're in great condition and you can't really get anything like them here so I thought I'd sell them rather than let them go to waste...

I'd really like to get a comprehensive list of "coming soon" (important) espectaculos in Buenos Aires...everything really from bands on tour that are going to be coming here, cirque du soleil...that kind of thing. I've been looking on ticketek thus far but I was just wondering if that included...

In barrio chino. 1/2 kilo tins for 120 pesos in Casa China and that big supermarket around the corner from CC. I spotted some of this beginning of last year and then it disappeared from the shelves for about 10 months. Anyone desperate for something seriously spicy in their sandwich should...

Just wondering if anyone could offer any advice about bringing a cat back to the UK. I've been looking into getting the travel certifications for my cats (against rabies, etc) for a while now but will be beginning the process this month. It's all a bit daunting so any advice or recommendations...

Has anyone ever shipped anything (freight) to the UK or elsewhere in Europe? How does it work? (do you buy a container, part of a container, pay according to weight?). I have just few things (maybe a box of books, a small but heavy table I love and couldn't replace there) that I'd really prefer...

Has anyone tried to exchange pesos abroad recently (more specifically, the UK/Europe)? I'm due to travel in December and really don't have the time to face the bank queues and limitations here. I can remember getting a horrible exchange rate in the UK last year but am wondering if some places...

Is it just me or is anyone else getting more than a little irked at the sudden appearance of those "carne para todos" vehicles? I get that its the week before the elections but it is infuriating to me just how many positive comments I'm hearing about the prices of meat that the CPT trucks are...

Yesterday, I went to change some pesos (not a very large amount) into foreign currency at my local bank and was informed that the AFIP have blocked me from doing this kind of transaction (this was the first time I'd ever changed money using my DNI). I also remember back in January, trying to...

Hi everyone, following the successful implementation of AnyBody Argentina's Size Law campaign (that awards clothing stores that comply with the Size Law with a special branding so that women are better informed about where to shop), the organisation is now looking to target a particularly...
