At one point we were told it would take another 20 days, we rang him and he said another 6-8 weeks. Now he will not even give a time range. I am fed up with the rain here in Galicia and the OH has been working hard and it has been a stressful 6 months. So I am after a short term loan to fund a trip to the Caribbean for a bit of R&R. And it has to be done before the kids go back in September. Hence the rush. Our UK bank cannot help because we are not on the electorial role - even though we have been with them for over 10 years.
