Its certainly unlikely that you can register it to British plates as you wont hold the ownership documents

Re: Help we have to go back To the UK
So sorry to hear of your trouble.
Try the housing associations. You will get a full list on the housig corporation website. I dont know if I am allowed to post the link but will try http://www.housingcorp.gov.uk/server...conWebDoc.1134 Try to chat them up. They are usually as helpful as they can be. |

Re: Help we have to go back To the UK
Cost of living is astronomical here in UK. The real increases in RPI for the last several years are much closer to 10 per cent a year than the Government's CPI figures of 2 or 3 percent. A loaf of good bread from a baker is 1.55. A half pound of butter over £1 in supermarket. Tin of tomatoes you would not believe. You really have to shop around

Re: Help we have to go back To the UK
We are really feeling the pinch. Prior to Xmas when we filled a tank of diesel with 50 litres of fuel, the price was about £45 or even a bit less.
Now the same amount of fuel is getting on for £70. That's a huge increase, and is reflected in food prices. We spent £85 on food at the end of the week, and the cupboard/fridge was pretty bare after we'd put it all away. The people who return to the UK complaining that Spain is too expensive just make me laugh. Boy, are they in for a shock as they hit that learning curve. Mind you, I always suspect that when they go back complaining about the heat and the prices, the truth is more prosaic, that they are desperately homesick and they are happy to ignore the crap climate and the high prices in the UK. No more stupid I guess than those who go to Spain with the rose tinteds firmly in place. |

I so agree with you bil - we used to fill our fiesta up for about £25 now its about £40 and our shopping bill has gone from £100 per week to about £135/140 and we dont buy anything or much different to what we used to. |

The good news is we managed to get back on the property ladder 2 years later (it's been a struggle having a large mortgage over a short period of time) so it's not all dismal. At least you tried something different and experienced new culture. We are now thinking of emigrating to Canada which we have visited a couple of times and are researching jobs at the moment. Spain is OK if you have a property and a decent pension or loads of money but I found that working there was very poor wages and you could not make a living. Good luck for the future and take one step at a time. :thumbsup:
