Re: Will they last!
Is this something like "Naughty's Stay or Go Sweepstake", because I think we should remember that was started as a little fun but it ended up hurting Miss Naught's feelings.
Don't think I am a party pooper
(is that spelt right) it's just some of us get a little carried away
sometimes with what we say.

What will affect them are hard facts and information that is corroborated by multiple sources I use in my research.
I can be as sarcastic or provoking as anyone, and sometimes a good dose of cynicism is an excellent damper on unreasonable expectations or unbridled 'virgin' enthusiasm

Re: Will they last!
Good luck to all of you who are considering the move
. We have been here almost 4 years and it has certainly been an experience. We came when the boys were 4 and 6 years, they have had a fantastic time and so have we. It has taught me to relax, be more tolerant, lose my materialistic values that I had in the UK which has been a very useful learning curve and an important lesson both for us as adults and the boys. Unfortunately my husband has no work here now and has gone to the UK, not what we planned but means must and we are now planning to go to OZ. I would recommend it to anyone but its not easy and remember MANANA

For my part, opinions written in forums like this, by people I do not know personally, aren't going to affect my intentions or feelings.
What will affect them are hard facts and information that is corroborated by multiple sources I use in my research.

Re: Will they last!
Who are the 8 that are imminently taking the plunge? I know theres me, intiuitivenipple, kerri and a couple more whom i cant remember their names.
Maybe we should have a thread dedicated to those that are about to go to report on how they're diong as soon as they get there.
10 days to go for me, the stomachs a churning a bit hehehe.
Is it me or has rental prices in the costa del sol shot up again in the last couple of weeks ?

Re: Will they last!
I'll be alright, Ive already said that if I dont get on in spain I'll try Portugal, if that fails, Italy, if that fails, France, if that fails then I'll get a plane to afghanistan and take my chances dodging bullets.
I know I shouldnt, but I truly hate the UK in a very large way. When I tell people that, some say 'Why are you here then?' which led me to this forum
