What a full day!
After taking the kids to school we went to the DEFLE to register as students and paid our 1100 euros (a bargain for both of us for a semester of studies!)
Then back home for a fortifying cup of tea before tackling the phone and the washing machine.
The FranceTelecom man was brilliant. He just would not give up until he had found out the status of our line and ordered our new number. Then he sorted out our internet connection.
But we fell at the mobile fence because two of our phones are locked to Orange UK and therefore will not accept a sim card from Orange France. Spit. I will phone Orange to try to get my Treo unlocked. Pat's phone will be OK but we'll probably need to get a new phone for Gwilym.
That was all done by 11h30, but I felt like I'd done a full day's work. French is really tiring.
