Re: Working in Gib and living in Spain
As JDR is a former and extremely well respected moderator of these fine boards (not just the Ayamonte clique), he knows the rules quitw well. For those who don't know the rules, there is a handy link on the menu bar. If this proves a lot of effort, here it is below - with rule 9 and 14 handily highlighted for your additional pleasure:
1. BritishExpats.com is an interactive site, and everyone who participates is "in it together", please treat others the way you wish to be treated. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. Challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully ... without insult or personal attack.
2. There may be places where sexually explicit, racist, obscene or vulgar language, graphics or behavior is appropriate however BritishExpats.com is NOT one of them. We do not alllow graphics that contain nude body parts, sexually-orientated or violent acts. Should anyone use inappropriate language, start a personal attack, or engage in hate speech, they will be barred from all further discussions.
3. Links to adult content, pages with links to adult content, near adult content, warez, hate sites or messages describing anything against the law is not allowed and will be removed.
4. Trolling on this site is not tolerated. We define trolling as any inflammatory threads or posts that are started with the sole intent of upsetting or antagonizing other members. Anyone found making such posts will be removed from the forums.
5. Think before you post or speak: Do you really want to put your address or telephone number on a public discussion forum? We encourage you to keep personal information personal. Similarly, do not ask for personal information from others. Anyone posting another members personal details without permission will have their posting privileges removed.
6. Posting Email excerpts or Private Messages of ANY type or length is not allowed. There are no exceptions to this rule.
7. You cannot legally post entire articles or news, or other copyrighted material in the forum without permission from the copyright holder. Even if you attribute the article/material correctly it is still copyright infringement. Minor fair use excerpts of less than one paragraph or 4 sentences may be used if the content is publically available on the internet. All other forms of inserted content from press releases, newsletters, web pages, or any other copyrighted content placed into messages will be removed without exception. A link to the content is acceptable and appropriate.
8. We realize members of BritishExpats may also be members of other forums, do not try to degrade or discredit other forums, their administrators, moderators, or their members.
9. The forums, (including the private message, blog and email systems), are not a venue for advertisements in any way. Please do not post promotional/advertising messages, urls, nor specifics that would lead people to your site/product/service. However, a line in your signature with a link to your site is allowed. (For signature guidelines please read Rule 18.) It will be the sole discretion of britishexpats.com and its moderators as to what constitutes an advertisement.
10. The forums/private message, blog and email system are not to be used for the purpose of research, (questions, surveys or polls). Any such posts found will be removed without notice. From time to time university students wish to use the forums for educational research etc, in these instances prior approval must be sought from the site administrators first, if approval is not sought then the posts will be removed.
11. Using a username or user title that is an obvious domain name, company name or product name will be removed. This is out of unfair promotion considerations as well as trademark implications. Email addresses are also NOT to be used as a username.
12. Messages posted at this site are the sole opinion and responsibility of the poster. You are responsible for your own posts and agree not to hold britishexpats.com liable for any messages posted. Periodically the Moderators of BritishExpats.com will post his or her comments. These comments may not necessarily reflect the opinions of BritishExpats.com, or it's owners.

14. Discussions about moderator or administrator actions are welcome in email or local private messages, but should not be discussed in public forums. This is out of respect for the members, moderators and policy involved.
15. Creating multiple usernames is not allowed. If you have a legitimate reason to create a second username, maybe another household member joining, then you should contact the administrators. Anybody found with multiple member names will have their posting privileges removed and all associated member names will be deleted.
16. The language of use for this site is to be English only. Any posts/comments made by members in a different language will be removed.

For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
3)You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4)Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
5)Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

Re: Working in Gib and living in Spain
Hey, it looks like we are in similar situations as I'll be working in Gib from Jul/Aug this year and living in Estepona as well, at least to start with. I have always found the drive OK but agree it's easier by bike! Anyway, feel free to PM me if you want to meet others in the Estepona area. Kate xx

Re: Working in Gib and living in Spain
Hi Kate,
My move to Gibraltar got delayed by 4 months due to various issues, however, i will be starting at the beginning of November. Missed the long spanish summer which i was unhappy about!
So i guess your out there now and well before me! I would like to hear about your experiences in moving across
I am undecided as to where i am going to stay. I think i would like to stay in estepona as i would like to be within a fairly short drive on marbella.
Hows do you like the work and lifestyle out in Costa Del Sol? What you expected? I find it slightly difficult to imagine what its like even though i have been their over 10 times on holiday.xx

Re: Working in Gib and living in Spain
I used to commute Estepona to gib every day and found it a pleasant drive, really not that far either even though everyone told me Duquesa was more sensible....it was only 15 mins closer!?
good luck with the move!

Re: Working in Gib and living in Spain
Thanks for the advice.. i have been to estepona before and driven down to Gib and it wasn't too bad at all. I dont mind a 30-45 mins drive to work, similar to what i do back home. I like the idea of being close to marbella so that i can spend time their on the weekends etc.
What made you leave Gib? How long did you work their for?

Re: Working in Gib and living in Spain
That was the reason I lived in Estepona when I worked in gib, now I am in local recruitment living and working in Marbella so got what I wanted in the end!
I still keep in with all the agencies in Gibraltar though, good to share knowledge and all that.

So you can move to Spain and work in Gib, get an E106 for x amount of years depite the fact you may not of paid any contributions in the UK.
If you move to Spain and don´t work in Gib, you only get an E106 for two years if you have paid into the system for the last two years in the UK.
