Hi Everyone

Hubby is off to Gandia/Oliva region on 23rd september, house has still not sold so thinking of packing up essentials and going over leaving house to sell, very worried about kids settling in they are 15,14,10,3 and 2 anybody already out there got kids that my children could be in contact with;), feel very up in the air with everything at the moment, just need some people already out there to remind me this is a good thing we are doing:unsure:

Thanks

Amber

Hi Amber & jason, my initail thoughts were when i read your post were :eek::eek::eek: when i saw the ages of the children and how many!! You will find lots of help on this site and there are quite a few members in that area. There is lots of helpful advice in the free beer threads, so do have a read but i am sure you will be inundated with replies, good luck with everything.
Luv Eve

Hi!!
God you are brave!! I'm panicking and i'm only taking one of mine!
We are hopefully going to the area too, as soon as house is sold, its a really lovely area, its got everything, sun, sea, countryside and city, fab for kids , my 8 year old can't wait to go, and i know it will be a wonderful life for him, and indeed for us!
Would be happy to make contact when we are therem, I know your area I used to live in Shinfield near Reading, and Wokingham!

Hi Mitzyboy

That would be great if you could give me details of social club, I think we have come to the conclusion that me and the kids should leave house and come over, we are going to rent to start with and from what I have seen most places are fully furnished so most of our stuff could stay in house then it would still look like a home, at least our family would be together that way.

Hi Silverchick

I sent an e-mail to you earlier regarding schools as you are going to the area we are it would be good to stay in contact.

Thanks for your reply

There are a few to choose from, but to be honest to start with I'd go with Telefonica although they aren't cheap .... we pay about 60 euros a month for the adsl and the phone line.

Some of the providors around here will promise you the earth, but not be able to deliver

I am a little familiar with the area, having a holiday place in Denia. My son is 17 and is never short of things to do in Denia.

Re: Support
 

Would he like to live there though:)

Re: Support
 

Denias a nice place, but I'd have to live outside the town ..... its too busy

Re: Support
 

Thinking of living out of town a bit as we would get better value on a property that way.

Re: Support
 

Well, as you know, I live on the outskirts of town half way up a hill. Although the OH disputes that.:)

It is busy. I think that's what I like about it - always something going on and we are within walking distance.

Re: Support
 

Not necessarily true ... are you moving to Gandia, Oliva or Denia then? If its denia you need to talk to Montgomail as she knows the score there. Oliva for myself and Spain for Gandia
