Things to stock up on!!
Hi,
My friends in Spain say that i should stock up on things that are expensive, and there are things i will be taking in bulk.
Is there anything that you wish you stocked up on?

What do you know about clothes? My missus has become a really snappy dresser since we moved here. The Spanish are much more stylish than the Brits and she likes to keep up with the Joneses. Or Gonzalezes or Garcias or whatever.
I have to stock up on Christmas and birthday cards everytime I go back to the UK cos the Spanish don't send them. (you get card shops on the costas though which cater for the tourists)

And as for the coffee it is only a comment someone made. and as i am not there yet, i did not know if there was some things which are over priced or not available in the supermarkets.

It must be something in the gene pool here, but spanish women seem to be incredibly fit - long slender legs, curvy bum, flat stomachs and impecable dress sense - until they reach about 30 and then they explode into these slobs who overeat and don't care what they look like. Wierd.
