I know I've not been on much...

You're right Sally; things really are a bit quiet!

Jean is definitely still in Andalucia

Poor Chris w is tearing her hair out over work and the house :curse: (I phoned her the other night)

Crispy might have yet more visitors??

I've been wondering about Bigbhudda, Mrs Eddie and Maryann just lately too.
Someone said Miss Naughty had posted on here recently, but I haven't seen her :confused:

Just one more thing Sally............where did you get your avatar from!?
I used to work with a woman who looked - and sometimes behaved - just like that! :unsure: :ohmy:

Is that how the house selling process makes you feel!? ;)

I'm not infectious, don't thing what I have can be infectious, since its fungal.

DF,
Shouldn't your message under your name say "supporting the weight of giants!" considering Derby's position in the league :lol:

Well, athlete's foot is contagious........and that's fungal! :p

No, seriously - I didn't realise you were actually off work :(
That must be a real pain when you're self employed.

So, is your breathing affected then?
I've never heard of that kind of infection on the lungs :confused: (but then, I'm not that kind of nurse!! ;))

I bet poor old Tui is going demented, unless you've got a nice big garden for her to charge about in?

brisca Sep 18th 2007 8:19 pm

Re: I know I've not been on much...
 
Anyway, I shouldn't be on here really - I've got a long list of jobs to do before my friend comes round for lunch!
Just a good job that lunch is after 2pm in Spain!! ;)

Am going to take the drastic step of turning the PC OFF, so I don't get tempted to keep coming and checking threads!

Catch you all later peeps :D

Tui is spending most of the time killing all the mice that call our larder home, and the OH is taking her out.

Yeah its a nightmare being off work, but I can hardly draw air if I do anything.

I have to go to the hopital on Friday for x-rays as its not the first time I have had it.

crispy Sep 18th 2007 11:14 pm

Re: I know I've not been on much...
 
I'm here still, last of the visitors go home this evening; give me a day or two to get the house straight I should be back sometime over the weekend.

I too have been thinking about Maryanne lately, I think I have seen her advert on the TV, well it looked like her. Whenever I go in Pto.Snta. Maria I walk around thinking could this be Maryanne, oh maybe this is Maryanne. Mrs Eddie is working now so what with family and house to care for I expect she is busy, busy, busy.

Matt, hope you recover soon make sure you do what the docs say and be a good boy and keep taking the pills.:wub::wub:

What about Rosemary and Graham (The Oddities) ???

I haven't seen either of them posting since their raucous fortnight of fiestas!!

Do you think they're both still sleeping it off!? :rofl:

[I have to go to the hopital on Friday for x-rays as its not the first time I have had it.]

Tried to send you get well karma Matt, but I've got to spread it around first!

Hope all goes well for you on Friday, and that you'll soon be feeling much more comfortable.

Obviously, Friday must be BE "check out your health" day, what with you and Martha both being "seen to" that day ;)

Re: I know I've not been on much...
 
I've been quiet as i've been doing lots of hours recruiting new staff at work, and H.G is home so I've not been sitting squared eyed in front of here!!
Normal service resumed next week as H.G away again for a week!.

Did you stay in one of the cave houses (I think they are in Huescar)? OH and me fancy a weekend that way on, have you got any pictures you can post?

Yes we stayed in a cave house and were shown around five others which were all totally different. We will sort the photo's out in the next day or two and post them for you.

Welcome back - what did you think to the area? I know the caves are done out nice, but would you consider living in one?

You been to Huescar? If I'd known I could have introduced you to some of the locals.....like the English woman who's been locked in a bedroom with a goat!

The area has plains, lakes and mountains so plenty to see. There are thousands of cave houses around and they are all totally different. The one we stayed in has been designed as a holiday let so difficult to truthfully say what it would be like to live in one permanently although I did meet one person who does and loves it. I personally could not live in one permanently because of the lack of natural light. I tend to open all of the windows in the house first thing in the morning to let in fresh air and light and do not shut them until I go to bed.

I did not realise so many English lived in the area. One thing we noticed was how clearly the locals spoke Spanish because we had been told that the Andulucian accent was hard to understand. For us it was a treat to be able to hear Spanish spoken as in our area they speak Valenciano.

Call me a twat, call me a sheepshagger, you can even call me late for dinner.....but don't call me English! :lol:

And you're right there's loads of English here....they're the ones walking round dragging their knuckles and taking interpreters every time they go for a dump. Then they miss the pan and blame the Spanish plumbers! :lol:

Did I mention that one English guy wanted to live in the traditional Spanish way so he bought a cave. Then he covered the whole frontage with astroturf! :lol:
I honestly could write a book on this place! :lol:

She wouldn't even let me use her swimming pool cos she said I'd urinate in it! :unsure:
And don't tell me you drooled over Angel like all the other Brit women here do? Particularly Karen....it's bloody embarrassing I can tell you! They fawn around him like schoolgirls with a crush.....and all they want to do is hit me! :unsure:

Re: I know I've not been on much...
 
Hi Im Karen,
Yes I did meet Rosemary and her husband (very nice people):D and will pass on all comments to Angel regarding the caves. Regarding the pool Extreme.......if they all saw you they wouldnt let you in the garden never mind the pool - contamination or what:thumbdown:
Only just found this site it seems really good.
We did have a local forum, but its gone!!! We miss it, so heres to many postings on here. :)

Angel is a lovely man and I am far to old to drool over him but knock a few years off my age and I would be fighting all the rest of the women for him. Karen was helpful and friendly and I wish I had the opportunity of getting to know her but there are too many kms between us.

I believe that Karen is an excellent judge of character so if she is banning you from the pool I suspect that she has darned good reasons!!!!!!!!!!

Did not realise that you were not already a member of BE......welcome to the site. Just a bit of advice for you .....totally ignore a certain faction of posters.....I think that you will have a good idea of the type that I mean.

Nice to have met you and thanks for your promise to give Angel our comments as I think it is important that he is made aware. Give him our regards.

YOU KNOW!!! Glad you didnt meet Extreme it would have put you off for life!
If I didnt love my cave so much then I would move just to get away from him;)
Wish you had have had time to pop and see my cave though, its not dark at all, as we have lots of windows at the front.xx

Bob....you old nobber....I guessed I'd draw you in with that! :lol:
Did you hear that The Spanish Inquisition was allegedly locked in her bedroom with a goat? :lol:
She turned up here at 10pm the night before last looking for a lost dog....that dissappeared 4 days earlier. I sent her to HuescarServices as apparently they handle all such matters! :cool:
