Hi Guy,s
Oh dear I got up this morning and noticed a serious layer of dust around my house,ooooops to much time spent on the lappy,so I have been busy spring cleaning for a few hours,I was getting along ok.I even managed to give my tropical plant a bit of water ( only I could kill a tropical plant,I think it thought there had been a storm),I managed to get the lounge cleaned until I got to the lappy,thought Ill just clean the screen,mugh Ill just log on for a minute and catch up on a thread or two,then mother in law turned up for a chat ,log ff after she went I took George for a quick walk,the sun is shining and a definite air of spring is here at last .Had quite a good week end,with a bit of fun with Miss Naughties thread,found out I may have a virus,and squirrels,oooops oh dear, but the good news is that the O/H has at last finished tiling the kitchen,so one step nearer to putting the house on the market,I somehow think its going to be a long road to Spain

Anyway last night we were having yet another conversation about our impending move,and we have now decided to rent long term and plough our money from the sale of the house into a business.Mmmmmmm hubby says he has just got to have something to do,he cant lay about drinking sangria by a pool all the time would of done for me,well I dont know? seems like a big move to relocate and start a business,I suspose there are lots that have.I think you guys are going to be hearing quite a long drawn out tale about this. If there are any budding entrepreneurs out there that have started a business in Spain Ill be pleased to here your veiws

Well at long last we intend to move into our house on the weekend just a litle bit of it ..................... We have given our selves another year to be really finished and up and running full throttle............ All ready have the local women chommping at the bit wanting me to give them lessons using ceramics..........and people wanting to start to draw and paint again....... We intend to do it all slowly and keep the tranquillty in our life .......... I am not allowed in the house this week as the other half is laying the floor in the appartment ............. but then he is moving into our house and then to my studio ...................and then I can work again ............ On my main project ........ It is so exciting............ I cant wait for it to be finnished and how I have it in my minds eyes ................... We had my other half sister over for a few days as a surprise for her birthday ....they have seen the pics and all that but said nothing is as breath taking as the real thing ........... we love it but well it nice to hear that other people do to .....Hope you have the same luck as us ............. 18 months ago we were doing the same thing getting the house ready to sell and now we are here it all seems just a distant memory .............Good luck and Go for it .........

Spring is in the air............well I expect you can say that, it is raining here in Chiclana and has been all day and the cat who is 18 years old and spends all his days sleeping, eating and pooing:embaressed_smile: has caught two birds and brought them home to mummy - well the wings of one and a mangled body with floppy head of another. Thanks Ben and I love you too.

Ohhhhh...... dear its really sunny here today,there is all the spring flowers out even the butterflies are flying already... the cat thing dont sound to good,Cheers

Hi , Im really happy everything is working out for you.What type of business have you set up? and I hope Im not being too nosey where did you move from. Good Luck with everything

I was an art teacher in the UK and we lived in the Midlands.
We are going to open an art gallery and stuido space along with accomadation for all things, We have a lake near by and lots of history so fingers crossed.

Hola jean,

You really have got lappyitus, you know it really has got a hold when you can't walk past it without just checking something, ........as if it is going to delete anything all on it's own!! I keep trying to tell myself they are not real but continue to talk to them, very odd but then I do work with lots of them and children, so no hope for me really...... love 'em though, the children that is oh and the computers.
Anyway after all that waffle about nothing really, so business now is it, is this a different business from what you had in mind, or have you come up with new ways to make a living. I understand hubbys views though, surprisingly enough coming from a sun worshipper, I can lay in the sun by a pool or on a beach till the cows come home, not that many cows frequent those sort of places but anyway, when I spend the whole of the summer in Spain I find that I really do have a low boredom threshold and really need a project. This normally consists at the moment of painting something. Still giving our little home in Spain some tlc.

Good luck with your plans.
take care,
Eve

Hi Eve, nice to hear from you again,Mmmmm yes I have got the bug,I have had to learn a lot in a month and still a long way to go,but it has been made alot easier with the help of the guys on this forum.We had abit of fun on here as well at the weekend so its not all doom and gloom,hey Im getting a bit smart now I can type using more than two fingers,amazing what one can achieve in a month.Im right enviouse that you have the whole summer in Spain,we are hoping to get down in a couple of months ,we will call and see you if you are there.cheers luv,we have a long way to go,but we will achieve our ambition in the end.

Hi Jean,
that would be great , I have a computer in spain, well I did have, a poor old lappy which has now gone to pooter heaven, but should have one installed over Semana santa, I just have to find the best place in the house to put it. I piggy back my neighbours wireless internet and becaus eof the thickness of the walls etc there are a lot of dead spots in the house, it was ok with the lappy, I could move about and hang out on to the balcony if needed,, not so easy with a desk top, i have got a booster siganl arial to take with me which should help but also depends on whether the signal is string near an electricl point, oh the joys of spanish electrics!!! But have faith, I shall be connected and will pop on every now and then.
keep having those ideas and one day you will achieve them.
Eve

:curse: Oh whoops, sorry about the spellings!!

They got spell check on here,dont think mine works to well,Cheers

i know how you feel 3 cats was five but its going to be more as mummy up the duff again. Must get her done but at some stage as its the third litter and im bored with her having kittens on me in the night. The front door step looked like a scene from reservoir dogs.

That is a coincidence I dabble a bit with art,I should have gone to art college from school many moons ago,but with family matters a bit stessed to say the least alls I wanted to do was to leave school and get a job.I still am very interested,I have all the equiptment but unfortunately am unable to find the enthusiasm lately. But well done you I think that it must be really nice to combine your interests and make a living.My passion is my dog,my hubbys is cars,hes fanatical about them,so we will no doupt think of something.I have given some thought of opening a boarding kennels,but nothing is set in stone at this point.Well the very best of luck with your project

Raining all day here on the Costa Blanca today, but at least it isn't the cold miserable rain you get in the UK.

Its bright and sunny her in Wakfield spring is here,Iv just ironed the woolies for the last time I hope,mind you I said that to myself last week well Im off for a walk in the sun.Cheers
