Have you tried offering your property in England as Guarantor, unorthadox, but you own it so therefore you are not without resources.
I always wanted one of those patchwork quilts but the price has put me off!

Have a nice weekend, I have the nurse outfit on again, Sophie has gone down with the flu and is laid out on the sofa in front of the fire guarding the remote control!

Morning all, I am going to have to pop into town later need fuel for the car, its almost on red! But I'm not going until Alain gets here, I can't leave Sophie alone. WON'T leave her. Mother Hen syndrome. Its a good job I have medicine to hand!
Having a quietish day today. Might make a start on my story (providing I don't get caught).

OH bless, I think all kids go through a stage like that, then they have to toughen up ;o)
Sharon wrote: "OH bless, I think all kids go through a stage like that, then they have to toughen up ;o)"Jo, would still have me run round after her when she was ill if I were nearer! A whispered, 'Leek and Potato soup will make me better mum' and off I'd go and make soup! Kids eh!!
LOL - for some reason when Renee is ill, she has porridge. It was the only thing I could get her to eat.
Sharon wrote: "LOL - for some reason when Renee is ill, she has porridge. It was the only thing I could get her to eat."I love porridge!
Sharon wrote: "I don't!"Lol, what's not to love about porridge! I have it made half milk, half water, no sugar, nor salt! Natural, as it comes. Sophie too!
Nope, I used to eat it all the time as a kid, but just went off it. Have tried to eat it since and it was horrible.
Sharon wrote: "Nope, I used to eat it all the time as a kid, but just went off it. Have tried to eat it since and it was horrible."I don't have it often, but that's usually because I am to lazy to go into the garage for a carton of milk! I used to have it with sugar sprinkled on top when I was little and now I can't stand it with sugar, either in, or on.
The property in scotlanddoesnt count for anything, I supose there's no way for them to get hold of it being in another country. Still looking. The quilt is lovely, and I'm the same, the prize is really expensive but since I wasn't counting on the voucher do there, basically got it for free.
I thought you were signing a 'rent to buy' contract, I don't understand their logic, you husband has a job, your rent is paid up to date on your current flat, surely they should be satisfied with that. Especially these days...Never mind these things usually happen for a reason, and the house of your dreams is just around the corner!

What I found out is orange and purple are good for creativity

Not together I hope, be a little too much in one place don't you think?
Depends on the shades they don't have to be bright or really dark
Sarah wrote: "I thought you were signing a 'rent to buy' contract, I don't understand their logic, you husband has a job, your rent is paid up to date on your current flat, surely they should be satisfied with t..."you would think that, we went through an agency and the agency were trying to charge us 1300 euros just for their fees, that's without counting on the two months deposit and the months rent!

makes sense, every time I wear my purple cosy socks the kids gave me for crimbo and idea pops in my head. lol

That's cool
I am think of going purple
Eva wrote: "Sarah wrote: "I thought you were signing a 'rent to buy' contract, I don't understand their logic, you husband has a job, your rent is paid up to date on your current flat, surely they should be sa..."I would never go through an Agency, not paying those kind of fees. I went to the Maries offices, the Town Hall, they gave me a list of houses for rental in the area, and the prices of the rental. No hidden surprises, do they not do that in Spain too? We also have a computer site Le Bon Coin, they advertise long term rentals too. Have a look online, there may be something in Spain on similar lines.

I have an orange kitchen, and believe it or not I'm wearing a purple top today! Not doing me much good as I think Sophie has given me her cold! Bad head, and I ache everywhere!
Well purple is my fave color and some shades of orange r very nice
Trisha wrote: "Well purple is my fave color and some shades of orange r very nice"So where are you thinking of painting purple Trisha.
Trisha wrote: "The walls in my office"One wall? Dark colours make a room seem smaller than it actually is. To avoid this paint just one wall in the dark colour and the other three walls a lighter shade of purple, therefore pushing the other walls out, making the room seem bigger. You could always use stencils in dark purple on the light that would be okay!
Trisha wrote: "I was not going with dark or bright"Purple is a rich,dark, like Cadbury's Chocolate, it's wrapped in purple foil, but like I said, too much for a whole room, buy a small pot of dark purple paint one wall and mix white with the remainder for the three other walls! That's what I do! That way you are sure of a good match!
Tony wrote: "I like chocolate"Who doesn't like chocolate! Especially Cadbury's Caramel, even Alain has a liking for that!
I got your email Eva. If you find out how much, we will have a discussion.
Saturday, I spent much of the day suffering from aches and pains from boxing training.Sunday, I went to watch my daughters dance show with my eldest son. Then, in the evening, I signed up for a distance learning copy editing and proofreading course :-)
How was yours?
That sounds great Tony. You could come in handy ;o)Not too bad. I finally started my story and went out for dinner with friends.
Something naughty that will not be good for my diet. Rack of ribs with chips and Corn on the cob, witha huge salad and a very naughty chocolate dessert. Will have to work hard this week to make sure I don't put any weight back on. Opened up "your writing" section on the anthology, so you can start putting bits up now.
Oooo, good news.I love ribs, very messy though. Where did you go? The best ribs I have had were at La Tasca.
Just to a Harvester. The ribs just fell apart.
