Miss Naughty

Well just to give you an update!!

I am still in lincolnshire i have not made it to anywhere.

The bloody car was overloaded which has broke the leaf springs on the jeep.

We did attempt to try and go and only take clothes but it was not going to happen.
Mr Naughty is going to fix the springs today (hopefully) and we should catch the 4 am ferry in the morning.
It has been a nightmare.

Sounds like this is going to be an adventure

Miss Naughty

Can you believe it?
It can only happen to bloody us.
I am gutted once the springs are fixed we are still not taking the caravan.
So all my new things will be left.
Kids are fed upxxx

So, leave the kids and take your new things!

Miss Naughty

Thought about it very hard, but the kids will be better use.

Just think this time next week it will all be a bad dream and you will be able to laugh about it.
Good luck and take care

Miss Naughty

well the weather isnt great at the moment so a couple of days could make all the difference so look at it as an omen Have you found a house yet ? or are you still like we were homeless when we arrived LOL. We stayed in a hotel for the first 2 weeks. Strange as it was not like a holiday and then well we didnt know where we wanted to live !!!!!!!!!!!!! just the atlantic coast and we hadnt been there before LOL.
Take a deep breath and count to 10
and well this time next week the sun should be shinning again

Miss Naughty

hi,
The estate agents just called. And said weather not good.
So least i am glad it is not our first day there.
hubby working outside to get the car done in time today to get the ferry.
just waiting for something else to go wrong.

Miss Naughty

Hi,
We was meant to be lloking at two houses today.
I have told the estate agent that we have not left england yet. so hoping to be there thursday.
So hope the houses will still be there, should be there.

Are you saying you moved to Spain without having a house to move to? How long did it take to find a house and move into it then? I am starting through one of these property road show type companys and I cant help thinking things might be cheaper to run with it all myself. I think I expect some money to be wasted with these big companys but the plus side is they do take some of the strain away for you I reckon.

Yes, we sold the house in the UK on the Friday and flew to spain on the Tuesday we had no where to live,
We are just the two of us no children involved, it a Gap year as my other half calls it only 30 years later LOL
We looked with the companies, we did one of those trips , but they showed us nothing that even made us tick i surpose,
My other half wanted the atlantic so we stuck a pin in a map and well, we got Jerez LOL,
We by chance found a guy who is half spanish and he showed us some houses, we were aware that we might be well taken for a ride, but we obviously found a guy that loves where he lives and wants others to share in his area , we were not riped off infact according to the locals we had a very good buy, and he sorted everything out for us and is still there to help now nearly a year down the line, he still helps all the expats who have houses in the area he is a real Gem of a guy ( he post on here he is called Cadizbuilders).
We found the house with in days 11 of being here, we rented a flat the same day, we moved in to a fully furnished flat the next day.
