With you coming on the Spanish forum does that mean you are planning on moving to Spain sometime - we were going to at one time but with our trades i think we would struggle getting work so hoping to go to Oz someday.

Did you get things sorted out with your landlord????? Or does this mean you will be moving to Spain sooner rather than later now.

I wouldn't say "sorted" exactly, but I would say that there is still much to do to sort out my anger problem.


and yeah, its looking like Spain is getting very much closer.

Hey Matt could have done with you last night i was in the middle of a 30 strong fight - son phoned to say he and his mate had just got jumped at the end of our estate - me n hubby jumped in car n raced down - i did my teacher bit standing in the middle and pulling em apart then this gobby cow started shouting so i put her very calmly against a tree - i was proper shitting myself - bit different to school coz they were all fueled with alcohol - got home got in bath and shook like a jelly fish for about 10 mins - anything could have happened - oldest son got home and gave me a proper bollocking for getting involved - bless him he thinks mummy is a big softee - they dont realise i kill for my kids quite literally

Sounds fun.



I am actually quite proud of the way I handled the situation, even to the point of when he started trying to shout at me I simply stood up from the table, loomed over him and told him in the calmest way that if he tried to raise his voice again I would shove his head up his arse before he managed to dial the second 9 of the police number.


To be honest this has been brewing for some time now, he is a bored millionaire who has always got his own way and thought it would be fun to play games with me by sending shitty e-mails and then denying he even sent them.

Its all back fired on him though because I have been forwarding his shitty e-mails to the whole village as a matter of course and its been very embarrassing for him.

But the upshot is that we now have to get out in 2 weeks.

Hey well done - pity they havent got better things to do aint it than bother the decent people of the world. Brilliant idea to send everyone his emails - maybe he will think twice before he starts his bully tactics with someone else.
Sorry to hear you have to be out in 2 weeks though - are you ready for Spain or are you still tied here?
Take care Matt n dont let the ba$*%ds get you down.
Love Sam xxx

There is no way we are ready, but we have started to get ready, already paid for a storage unit for all our stuff and are sorting through some of our stuff and being ruthless as to what we will bring.


There is no way we will leave in 2 weeks, I told him that if he wants us out in 2 weeks that he will need to carry me out. We will leave at the end of April and no sooner.

Its all good, and it actually has helped us be more certain about the move.

Plus, with what I have planned as a leaving gift I think its best that I leave the country.

Maybe, we are "homeless" in April so what ever happens we are out then but we may be making a couple of trips a bit sooner, we are just waiting on a contact to come good for us.

Sometimes you need that little push dont you - im my case its usually a great shove from behind i need - so im glad its helped with your final desicion - may be a bit sooner than you were ready for but as they say things happen for a reason and life is too short not to enjoy it.
Dreading the day we pack up and go (6 adults, 4 dogs, so much junk) - we are hoping to not have to take anything for first 2/3/4 years as we wont be able to sell house yet coz of dad and youngest son (although after last night i think he needs to come with us).
If your leaving the curtain poles put prawns in them coz thats supposed to cause a stink according to one of the stories i have read on here.

I know but we couldnt leave them they are a big part of the family - we recon about 10k just for them :eek: - thats one of the main reasons why we arnt taking much stuff over yet till we sell the house - so we are saving like mad now - roll on January 2010 or even sooner if we can manage it - told everyone at school its Jan09 when we go - wishful thinking on my part i think.
