lol calm down no hard feelings ! hahahha chill out, it was a sarcastic reply with a "sadness" smiley - it wasn´t meant to be rude, i didn´t intend it to be taken that way 
it was more of a general statement. thing is...i hardly every see an english person working for a spanish company
it DOES happen, granted.. but its unfortunatly very rare

Apart from my original posting I have thought about cleaning pools, gardening, looking after expats pets when they visit the UK, opening a cattery etc etc, mad ideas as they may be!! Maybe Ebaying is a possibility.
At the end of the day I do not want for us to fail in our new life in Spain for the sake of £3K pa

Gray, if your Spanish was reasonably good and you reckon you could get it back quite quickly, then I'd have thought bar work would be the easiest option - you are only talking about earning £60-£80 pw. Perhaps at lunch time, if you want to spend more time at home? Obviously there's a bit of a double-bind here, if you want to live inland because of cheaper property costs, because inevitably there will be less bar/restaurant work available there.
Good luck, anyway!
