Septic tanks by Sharonprice252
Can someone give us a rough price of buying and installing a septic tank for a 4 bedroom house , thank you

We get lots of requests for advice about areas that people are considering but very little, if any, feedback on how those searches are going, what the searchers did/didn't like when they got there, what real condition the properties are in ...

Good morning. We would be grateful if anyone can help us out in choosing the right hospital/clinic in Sofia for a colonoscopy. We will be paying for the operation. Thank you.

Coincidentally, I'm visiting my mother-in-law in a hospice after a massive stroke, and my wife is in Intensive Care after another major cancer-associated operation. I know more about the BG health system than I care to... Read More

Once you're registered with the BG health service, GP visits are just a couple of leva a time. It's another 2 leva per injection, if needed. Drugs are paid for in full, unless you have certain illnesses, eg cancer. Read More
