I know......you just can't get the help these days!

Fantastic! You'll be able to hear my Welsh accent now!

I'm not boasting about it.....that's just the way the game is played here. Don't hate the player......hate the game. And my Pension comes from the UK (1970-2005) so it's not even relevant to anything that goes on here anyway.

I did 35 years in the UK and the wife isn't eligible for at least 6 years. Doubt she'll get much cos she only did 10 years and then had the kids.

3 more gigs confirmed today......existing clients! 2 industrial Air Filter sites (1 UK and 1 Spain) and a Property Agent in Spain.

Was hoping to feel a bit better today......but still feel like shit. The wife has been in bed most of the day!

Some research into stats thrown out by anti-vaxers HERE!

That's him......but in his case he always finds the energy to get back up so he can get on the PC to abuse some more Brits!

Exactly.......when we got out it was a case of it's now or never!

If we hadn't escaped in 2005 we'd be in the same boat Clive!

He didn't take to you that well then Clive?

It was worrying when we converted our UK licences into Spanish 10 years ago......I'd heard of motorcycle entitlements go missing. So we got our medicals, made multiple photocopies of everything.........and I drove to the city of Granada to give everything to my accountant. He then went into Trafico personally and checked every step of the process.

The thing is with moving abroad you've both got to really want it. However, when you get to your new country and the reality hits home that it's not a holiday and life goes on just the same........very often one of you wants to go back. That's happened a lot here.......and it's usually the woman that wants out.

Getting out isn't so easy now though!

Just received our new driving licences.....me for 5 years and the wife for 9 years. It's 9 years because that's when she reaches 70. And they managed not to lose any of my entitlements in the update!

I'm not sure, but it's a fact that UK Pensions are the lowest in Europe.

Nice one!

A Spanish friend of mine just retired at 65 and he gets €1500 a month. By comparison I get €820.

I've seen it mentioned on Twitter as a lot of people have gone over to Mastodon because of Elon Musk's ownership of Twitter. I'll check it out.

Sad news.......we lost Jeff BecK!

At least something good came out of it then.

You must have been really ill though.....cos you didn't post for quite a while.

So the whole world is involved in this conspiracy then zzzak? Does that include Russia and Ukraine? Bit odd if they are considering they're at war.

We came back negative......but the Chemist told us a lot of people are showing as negatives with the new variant.

Did you do a Covid test?
