have been with nice neighbour this evening - we reckon mrs nasty was trying to upset me cos she hadn't said a word to them (they rent too) - but did tell them who had complained when they asked her

anyway it's backfired now....mr nasty was shocked we'd found out, since as far as he's concerned there's no problem (he knows mrs nasty is stirring it, but not that she told us .......yet!;) I'm saving that:D)



anyway it's totally backfired, since I reckon I might have an 'in' at the 'owners meeting' now......representing all long term renters:rofl::rofl:

we're not, we're host parents,,,,,it's been checked out legally & it is no way classed as subletting

we had students last year and no-one complained

someone who lives here (cuts it down to about 1 person!) but she won't tell who

is she just trying to piss me off?


hate to say it's working

As the only Spanish/English speaker there I was a touch confused by the conversation!!

Thankfully a couple of the Argies understand English, but there are still a hell of a lot of words that they don't understand.


I was absolutely knackered after 80 sheep as well!!

If it wasn't so exhausting it would be funny.


I'm too shattered to sleep!

presidenta of the committee has phoned back...has confirmed with the community managing company that there have been no complaints - and went as far as to say that if anyone tries it at the meeting she will 'shoot them down in flames'

as long as we & our 'surrogate children' are not breaking any community rules as far as number of people in the property, noise & causing damage etc., then we have exactly the same rights as an owner (naturally they mustn't break the rules either)

of course we knew this.........good to have it confirmed though

and also when we told her who was complaining, we got another 'oh her!'



now, maybe I'll just get mrs nasty's hubby to pass on my thanks for the 'heads up' about the potential problem:sneaky:
