Good idea!

Anyone who tells you that you won't need a tumble dryer in Spain doesn't have a clue what they're talking about *lol*

Just been out in shorts and a sweatshirt. lol

I have never lived in a house without an airing cupboard before and when I talked about this with a friend in UK she thought I was mad. She could not comprehend me needing a dryer or an airing cupboard and still does not appear to understand.

Must admit though that I have been shocked at how cold my house has been this winter. I will be glad when the new windows are in and I can really get everything sorted and put curtains up. Mañana, yeh believe it may happen one day but anyones guess when that will be.

Hi all! You can tell spring is in the air can't you? Sam has done her windows (if it does rain Sam, you may be held responsible for everyones wet washing! Don't know what the forecast is for here in Swansea the week end, but turned out pretty good here today in the end. Even did a bit of tidying up in the garden much to Josh's delight! One weed out, one ball thrown, one weed out, two balls thrown! Not very warm, but at least dry. (For now anyway!)

Hi Rosemary,

Sometimes when talking to people back in the UK and trying to make them understand the differences here is like banging your head against a brick wall. This winter we have suffered so much from the cold, our electric bill last month alone was over €350 and we still didn't feel warm indoors.

I know the mañana mentality is very frustrating, but I guess you have to take the good with the bad and just go with the flow. Hope your renovation projects finish quickly and without any glitches

get one! I gave mine to my parents when we moved here...............and bought a new one the first week! Of course you don't need it most of the year, but you're really glad of it when you do!

Get yourself a plasma tv, they warm the room up. lol

Got one!

It doesn't do the job. Think I should return it and ask for a refund on the grounds of false advertising? *lol*

Been looking at tv's today in Currys. Think we will wait until we get to Spain and buy one there. Ours is a very old tv (about 10 years) so we will need a new one in Spain. There are some really nice slimline models around now.

Great deals on plasma's (HD) here too Lionda.

When you get here have a look around and if you don't find what you want at the price you want it, then you could get one from the UK, but trust me they are doing some great deals.

They are a similar price here so probably best to wait and then it will save you shipping one over.

Thanks Martha and Rosemary glad I mentioned the tv now, we had been wondering whether to get one before we leave or wait - we will wait now

Sun didnt last long did it
Heavy winds and rain all day here and same forecast for the weekend ..

Do you remember that thread posted "what a scorcher"? It's pay back time! What a lovely day it is here today! Going in the garden I think today, get that turfing done if we can buy some!
(I thought I had better get this one in quick as this is probably summer today!!!)

What about your street cred?,hope you did'nt get taken for a holidaymaker
