It's like a drug!

Heather - hope your house sale comes off - and as regards saving for old age - when will politicians finally see that they need to deal with this issue.

Can't wait to hear from Baz - living on a boat - that takes courage in the winter - would love to hear when you move in?

Ah well - the addiction continues !

Hi Heather. Everything is brilliant thanks. The scenario U mentioned is exactly the same one as mine and Barrie's mother's. Mine has saved and worked all her life but Barrie's mum hasn't. She is the better off of the 2 now. Really hope that U sell soon. Easter is the best time for selling properties. I know how desperate u are to move here. Hi Ian. Not as cold as we were at the Nil's Hotel. I bet!!  xx

Anne - I have just got in from a meeting this morning with a Customer and 2 high flying Accountants - 3 of us had colds and were sniffling and blowing our noses throughout.

I am working from home this afternoon - looking out of the window - the sky is grey - the rain is icy - the outlook is bleak!

I 'll swap places if you will !!!

I did think about it Ian but noooooo!!! thanks. We were nearly your neighbours by the way. We viewed at Lemon 3 when it was a concete slab. My you do sound depressed these days. Hardly surprising when all U can think about is us over here in the sun. Won't be long now hopefully.

Anne - that would have been good.

We are really pleased with our purchase - the immediate area is taking shape - new builds for locals etc - a new road surface and we are told a primary school to be built 200 yds away which I think is great.

We are close enough to walk to the Otogar (suprisingly some good inexpensive lokantas in that area) where I intend to make many of my 2 / 3 day backpacking trips from - we have an ALDA and a GEMPA within easy walking distance and on a not so hot day - we walk into town!

We have one owner moving there full time in March and he has a keen interest in making the gardens nice - so all in all - wonderful!!

Oh no the rain is hitting the windows now like little stones - I need a fix - when are AEGEAN releasing next winters flights!!!!

You will read it first here Ian. Late March anyway.

After I book mine, I'll post it  

[Ian]

I could have sworn it was earlier than that in 2007 - in fact I thought it was January - you and the mods are not getting privileged access before we masses get a chance are you??

[Scunner]

Certainly not.

Just me lol

[Ian]

Ah well - that seems reasonable - as without your forum I would have no outlet for my addiction and would probably implode !!!! I suspect this thread has run it's course
