Tony Jones Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hey Sparkle, what's all this about? Now you know we've got a van again, are you moving away just in time to avoid us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGD Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Haha - you've rumbled our Cunning Plan Tony!! Actually, as I'm simply rolling in money over here and just can't spend it on the Sparkle fast enough, we're just considering a move to a bigger, detached villa-type place with a fair bit of land etc, elsewhere in the same wonderful locality.... Gotta be able to park the Old Dog van, and cars, and motorcycles outside/beside the huge villa in their own purpose-built garages dontchaknow!!

Sparkle Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Tee hee.... we got no chance of escaping you Tony, our m/h won't go fast enough!! Mel - We're not going far as we love the area, but now yearn for a larger place with a garden and place to park up Martin near to the house.

KD Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 bad time to try to sell to a brit with the euro at the moment, but it would be a good time to sell and bring your money back over here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGD Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Agree - it's unlikely that it will go to a Brit, as the overwhelming majority of people living in Spain/buying on the Costas in Spain are Spanish. ....plus a peppering from other Northern European countries, the majority of whom have the euro in their home country and so for whom there's no exchange rate issue to consider. However, we'll sell our current house to anyone!! Our other house here is already just being sold (to a Brit couple incidentally, but who have lived in Spain for many years and thus I guess have all their finances in euros), and thus we're planning to pool the two equity pots and buy a big place with land, locally. So "Roll Up Roll Up, buy our idylllic Spanish village cottage!!" www.spanishtownhouseforsale.piczo.com :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 we sold our place in spain in october and bought the money back, could kick myself now with the euro going down weve lost out alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGD Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Sorry to hear it Dean - moving money back and forth between GBP's and Euros is always a bit of a gamble. I'm not sure that it's the Euro dropping in value though....compared to the USD it's at a record high. Time for the Sparkle to buy more stuff on ebay from the USA!!!

BGD Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Syd's supposed to be over here at the moment on an unofficial breakout from the MMM Towers Home for the Dazed and Confused.......but so far he's not made himself known to the Sparkle or I, and hasn't appeared (so far as we know) at any of my gigs this week. Syd - where are you my man? We're expecting you, bearing mint choc Baileys, and the blissful smile of one who is experiencing 20 degrees celsius and clear blue skies in mid-March....and Spanish Cava (fizzy wine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
