The two posters didn't seem to have any problems with each other so why should you? Was there really any need to post at all?:curse:

Yes, seems a bit odd. If anything Glad 2 be back was quite encouraging and helpful.

hola mis amigos. It’s my wife who has been putting posts on here to find out about schooling really.
I have read the posts and there has been a bit of negativity going on, but hey who are we to judge. My son has been learning the language with me and is doing really well. I have spoken Spanish for a couple of years now due to my business being in Spain (needs must). We already have the house in Spain and the business is up and running and the contracts are flying in from the local council (drainage and excavations) my son is excited about the move and looking forward to getting back to his new friends. He is enrolled in the local football team and is happy as are we. So we are still moving and still looking forward to it. Please don’t argue on our account because nothing will put us off. My wife is catching up with her Spanish and it won’t be long until she has enough to get by and as you know everyday is a school day when learning something. This is not something we are going into with our eyes shut we have studied the area and sorted out the important things first ie WORK. At the moment I work 67 hours a week and have a further 20 hours a week on top of that for commuting back and forth so it’s a long long week. I have missed so much of my children’s lives that I will never get back, but rest assured I won’t be missing much more.
As I have told many people when questioned about the move (you only live once this is not a rehearsal)
So I would like to thank you all for your help and advice and support some of you have given my wife over the last couple of weeks.
It is really appreciated. And we welcome any more advice you may have for us.

What is it with some people on this site reading their own meaning into what I write? Are you a mind reader? Just take what I write at face value, there were no other motives for my post apart from concern (for schooling),no sarcasim at all, In Spain they do keep foreign children behind a year to catch up, thats not me being bitchy, thats just what they do, thats it.

good luck with your move and again to calyamy good luck.

Thanks Jean, Sue and sojohn, its nice to see that some posters actually understand what I write!

Big Pete got banned on review by Admin for a number of reasons including racist remarks and him winding people up .... There is no question of Glad being in that catagory, clearly some people have disagreed with her point of view in the past but as she says, she is a changed woman . As far as I can see one person made a remark about her post and I'm sure that doesn't consitute what you call a Big Pete scenario

Can we leave it at that please
