I am a him, and i don't think I look like that!

Perhaps I should explain - we are in a particular situation:

A while ago we decided that we ought to move because of health problems that my Mum was having in the winter in the UK. So we did some preliminary travelling, starting with a map of the world! We went to the US, Aus, Canada, France and Spain (which we already knew quite well). We had some ideas about where to go,and narrowed it down to the CB North in Spain, Cannes and Sydney (as family ties don't mean we have to be near the UK). Spain was always high on our list, but those two nagging worries I asked about kept on nagging! It also slightly depended on business issues. its also taken us a rather long time to sell our house in the uk so we've had a long time to think about things! but that, to cut a long story even longer, is why i am asking the same question on different forums!

btw lynnxa, re your previous posts - have you had many mozzies this year?

thankyou all!!!

Now I am really confused because you are saying here that you took some time to sell your house but in The Lounge you said that it sold overnight.

It was confusing for us too. We accepted an offer overnight, which we weren't expecting, and then started sorting all things out like where to go and doing travelling to find areas, but the actual exchange took absolutely ages because of issues with the buyer, the buyer's buyer, and most other pernicity issues that constantly bug people (or me, anyway) in the UK housing market.

You can pay for private nursing care if you are worried and probably take out private medical insurance to cover this.
"noise" depends so much on your neighbors. ours are very quiet but my friend who lives further in the countryside is surrounded by dogs barking all night.
