I got really excited the other day as the temperature got to 16 degrees, the sun was shining and I swear I could smell Spring/Summer! Everyone was outside, drinking coffee in the cafes, kids out on their bikes, and I thought I'd miss not going into BE as much, and posting to my friends in F ace book. Oh how I was so wrong! :unsure:

This is the coldest/wettest in many years. I swear I was sitting drinking a beer in one of the beachside bars in El Palo, east of Malaga last christmas. There were people on the beach and my very white skin got a touch burnt!

There is an easy way to see if an agent is telling fibs, their lips usually move!

And some of the lakes are coming inside of the house :eek: and we live near the top of a hill.

So right JDR.

I have a weather station here which records the weather minute by minute. This winter is really the worst we have had here in the last 10 years - by a big factor. Today it has never stopped raining and the temp has only reached 10c. What is unusual about this winter is that it started in November and shows no sign of improving yet.

I cannot believe how much wood we have burned not to mention the last electric bill which was €340.

We are lucky enough to qualify for the WFA but, believe me, we have already used it twofold!

As for the recent press reports about trying to stop payment of the WFA I think that is never going to happen as the UK government had a big battle with the EU over this and eventually had to give in - the only bit they won was that you can only "export" the allowance - ie if you never got it in the UK you can't have it.

Must go now - I need to put another log on the fire:)

I left before I was 60 when you can claim it.
When I was 60 I filled out the forms on line and got two letters back from different offices, one said I couldnt have it and one said they had paid the money into the bank.
I thought I was sorted, but only got one payment. ;-(
