I want to be there as it is fiited, so I can be sure the fitter puts the unit in the right place
When we completed in February, I noticed that some A/C units were attached to the walls outside of the footprint of the terrace, which seems like a really good idea, as it doesn't impinge on the floorspace of the Terrace. We had originally be told that the units would need to be freestanding on the terrace, and I hope this is wrong.

Hi dany & Tricia,
This vinegar things sounds to good to be true. What type of vinegar do you use wine or malt and how much to put in the glass?
Regards,
John.

Year before last year they were very bad most of September also. Worst time of day I would say is definitely at dusk but they're pretty bad in the evening too, it's just that by then I have normally ran in from the pool, showered, stuck the aircon on and sprayed head to toe before venturing out again, lol. :scared:

Most of our neighbours are Spanish people and they don't have mozzie screens. When I was bitten badly last July I ended up at the Chemist and was sold a Gel, a large box of the little round plasters, and told to keep the bites covered. I still cant find an answer to..... Why Me?

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part III
I think wherever there is water, the breeding grounds, you will get mozzies. The larvae are about now

You're right they are pre-ducted, which means that you dont need the individual internal wall unit in each room you want to heat/cool - but you will need 1 external unit.
The systems offered in carefour are not compatible with the ducted system.

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part III
with regard to the mozzies issue - I have bought a device that promises to keep the buggers away from my baby's pram/cot...... or wherever I choose to put it. (allegedly)http://www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/cgibin/priamlnk.cgi?CNO=1&MP=ITM^GIN200&CAT=KTH61&SPCAT=I T&CODE=ST01920&TYPE=P&SHOP=TYP
The plus point for me is that I can hopefully keep the environment as chemical free as possible. I'll let you know how it performs whilst we're away this weekend.
I'll also be trying the vinegar, and SSS from Avon. (Thanks for the tips)

Karen

Hi
Regarding the mossies we are going to try the PestXit Duo which sends an ultrasonic signal though all the appartment electrical wiring and is supposed to send wave vibrations (undetectable by humans) through the wall directly to where the pests and larvae nest. They cost about £50 and cover a build area of up to 5000 sq. ft. so one should be enough. You can find the suppliers by searching pestxit on google.
Vinegar is also worth trying particularly on the terrace areas.
However bad they may be they can not be as bad as the west coast of Scotland!
Cheers

PS we are staying in the Atlantico from 20 -25 March if anybody wants to meet for a beer. Just send me a private email.

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part III
Hello all
Town house - first phase
Just received an email from the Halifax. Our mortgage application is with them and they tell me the valuers 4th appointment has now been cancelled by Fadesa! The valuer has been told to contact them 01/04. Our application has now run out and we need to apply again....OH ****
We are out there 6 -10 April and have appt to snag 07/04 and I was concerned Fadesa may cancel this as well.
I called The Shed and spoke to Jose. He was very helpful and direct, which I prefer, but I wasn't too keen on what he had to say.
Our appt to snag will be honoured which is good. They will not let any valuer in until the house are completly finished and cleaned.
"Will they be completed in April as I have been advised by Fadesa, our agent and our solicitor " ? He said he would not confirm this as they will not do anything until the aptmts are completed. "When will this be" ? Unable to say.
"Can you tell me will it be, say the end of May at least" ? He was adament that he would not give a date that he cannot stand by and would be concerned that plans may be made on his say so.
I agree that unless he knows for positive he should not give a date so as far as that goes I agree with his stand but it is disappointing.
I was advised to wait for the phone call and he has no idea when that would be.
Sorry it is not better news but things are moving on as the apartment people are completing.
Does anybody have a idea how many apartment there are, and how many are left to complete...probably impossible to answer.
What about the duplex's, where do they come in the completion, with the apartments do you think.

Is this the Ladybird on a clip? I have one of those and "touch wood" Jack has not been bitten yet (and I only got an odd one as I'm usually the one closest to the pushchair!!!)
When you take it away with you, make sure you take a small screwdriver to change the battery incase you accidently leave it on (as I did) and then can't open it ... a kind man behind a bar ended up undoing it for me with a penknife!

PS SSS is on offer 3 for £6 at the moment! I've already put my order in

If Halifax charge another application fee ask your solicitor to demand Fadesa pay for it.

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part III
I apologise in advance if I am not supposed to do this ..............a friend has 2 return flight tickets for Faro:-
Coventry - Faro return
Out 16.40 Land faro 19.40 08/05/06
Return 09.35 Land UK 12.30 19/05/06
He paid £104 for both tickets plus £86.80 Taxes
The price is the same today see www.thomsonfly.com
Whoever buys these would need to pay A) any difference in the price at the time of altering the names ( repeat no increase at all today) so nothing extra to pay there.
B) There is a fee for changing the names and last time I checked is was £15 each leg - so for 2 return tickets = £60.00
He is asking for £100.
Again VERY sorry if I am not allowed to do this on the site ( grovel grovel) but it may be helpful to someone is plans to go out in May and wants to save some money.
Please pm me if interested
Regards
