Uncertainties are every where and at present due to economic crisis it is spread in many more places. Uncertainties not only bring risk but also profit with them it is depend on us how we look to it. As it is always said that every coin has two side.
yay! you're back, and all in one piece! And you have sunshine you jammy bro.
Can't believe how stupid your van people were, fancy sending an email and expecting a reply that late, especially knowing you are moving country rather than up the road, so will have more stuff to sort.
Hello :wave;
well, after a shaky start it looks like it could all be coming together nicely.
I've seen a few fiestas like the one you describe..no such thing as a "garden party" type fiesta for the spaniards :)) more…
Its an idea Jack but I am trying to avoid sharers, students etc as I want it to be simple to manage from abroad. Hopey in the next couple of weeks - certainly I've had quite a few people view recently. more…
i think for us it's one step at a time, I really want to concentrate on getting to that elusive 'healthy' weight, learning to drive and then getting pregnant. Matt (my hubby) is trying to get settled in this job and has to stay at it for 18-24 months, and he wants to learn to drive (and is relatively happy about daddyhood). We see abroad as our 18- more…
I'd just say go for it. My attitude is you'll always regret what you don't do but probably won't regret what you do have a go at even if it goes tits up. more…
oh..just a thought have you thought of advertising your place at the local cop shop..new coppers are allways looking for a place ..thast is if they can share with someone...a friend of mine did that and gave the first tennant a discount for keeping the place occupied with a couple of other people..just a thought..:) more…
have you tried putting an advert up at work? oh no, i guess a school isn't the best place, but maybe local newsagents and the local free paper too? I know when I was flat hunting I'd scour the free papers.
you are so brave, we are still uhming and aaaahing about where we want to live, never mind actually applying for work!
very interesting to read all this.... I am actually offered a job in Madrid for a salary of 26,000euro/year before tax, leaving me with a bit more than 1,600euro to take home.... I have been researching a bit on the two following points:
1)is it an ok salary for Spain, and Madrid in particular for the type of job- very hard t more…
We have had the same thought since before our daughthers were born 4 years ago. Will love to follow your progress regarding schools (your daughter and you!) Are you teaching in a private school or a spanish? I would love to know how you got the job? I am a teacher as well and would need to get work in Spain before going. We h more…

i envey your new adventure i dont think i will be able to doe it because when i retire my kids will be 15,11 and 9 the school fees would be about 1500 euros a month which is a bit to much!! shall have to wait a bit longer:) more…
Well...hey ho...the first booking for my interesting B&B side-line :)
I think the self-move could only be a good idea if it saved a big chunk of money...which I thought it did but then found out it didn't. So, no self-move and the relaxation of using Easyjet for my emmigration. I do love Easyjet - all those who have paid for Speedyboardin more…
