I wished my parents were more tough with me when I was in my late teens/early twenties to be honest.

Just my opinion of course so ignore me :)
I'm with you there Zel - but she was living in Finestrat before we moved over, lost her job and couldn't find another (she says :unsure:) so moved in with us when we moved over because she had no money for rent etc. Now she is saying there is no work here and won't shift herself to look! She even speak a Spanish, not fluently but enough to have a conversation. Oh - and she is not in her late teens/early twenties - she's 31 :frown:

Ah - but she is moving with us because she has nowhere else to go

Today is bin day, all of us in the area normally put the recycling by the front walls on the road side as that's how we were told to do it a few years ago.

No problem..

Couple of weeks ago we all get a letter saying to stop that as it's causing an obstruction (fair enough) and if it continues we'll get fined..

I've just seen the recycling lorry/men just walk completely past my house missing the rubbish as it's in the front garden as requested by the council..

ARGH!
:eek: I'd forgotten about the stupid bin laws in the UK

I need to post an ARRGRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH too!

Tonight I shoudl have been receiving the keys for my new apartment. To have a nice leisurely move in over the weekend. Then sort out my old apartment for Wednesday when I have to be out of it. Ive changed my address at the bank and informed telefonica to attempt to move my phoneline and internet.

yesterday I get a call off the agent. She was fuming, the owner has only told her that he's in the middle of a divorce and therefore cant rent it now! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! So shes trying to sort me out another one now on the same site. Theres one I want but wont be available till Monday or Tuesday. Im just waiting for a phone call to see about that one now. There are a couple more I could have but they dont have roof terraces.
