Hi - I ordered a two seater settee from IKEA in Sofia and was waiting for the three seater to come back into stock. It hasn't been in stock since November and when I called IKEA in Sofia they said that they don't know when or if it will be ...
Hi - thanks so much for taking the time to post. My husband agrees with you 100% but I'm afraid I've got my heart set on this particular settee! Yes, there are similar, but nothing exactly the same as this one. I'm the kind of person who can spend 4 ... Read More

@euronomad - thanks for your informative and helpful reply. I wish I'd had the same lawyer as you when buying - I simply didn't have any idea. I will look into the possibility of HVAC here, as I had that in the UK and it was very economical indeed. ... Read More

Hi Mel - thanks for your reply, but 380 lev a month is fantastic compared to the 1000 lev a month I'm paying for a flat. Even though the cost has escalated, surely the commercial tariffs aren't over 5 times higher than the residential/personal ... Read More
