Talking to a few friends that have property they rent out , they have had some bad tenants but on the most they have more good then bad and like you if you can get a long term renter then you are on to a good thing. Still time to look into selling /renting or keeping, having my daughter and son still living in the house until they decide when to leave will help pay the bills when we are not in the house.

Yes that is the down side in renting out, frightening it sounds.

Now my daughter has told us she does not want the house, it has thrown different paths in our way, we dont need the cash from the sale just yet and renting it out later in a year or so , we may just keep it and just like you visit the Phils for a longer stay and then pop back here, that way there is no rent to pay at any place.

Not long to go to start our new chapter of our life, not sure when and where it shall be but we are going to the USA for a month or so touring so it will be like a big holiday at first, then its trying to find a place in Spain for a few months then its getting over to the Phils to see how that takes us, i must add it may not be in that order . The biggest change for me is no more work which is sort of my comfort zone.

Good on you Brett, we wish you all the best, plus when will the invites be given out.

Great to read things are going well.

July 31st 2010 was the day that Emma landed on these fair shores of England and our life together had begun, 2 and a bit years before it was just chatting to someone from the other side of the world having a laugh and a joke and just seeing how we would get on, there was a few ladies that i was chatting too and even a lady boy " but thats another story". These eight years have gone by so quickly and i can honestly say i have found my true love, my best friend and the person i want to spend the rest of my life with. Soon we will be both retired from day to day work and we will both be on another adventure of seeing the world and hopefully settling in another country for how long who knows. So for the folk out there who are just beginning there journey of finding a partner , they are out there, just take your time and enjoy the days together

Yes how times can change. There are plenty of people to do the work but not for the wages these people are paying.

Interesting this maybe, but what is poverty and i am sure that many of us have never lived in poverty, yes we all have gone without things and maybe never having things that other folk have had but is that called poverty. Listening to Emma on how she was brought up by her parents in her provence , but not having much in material things in her early years made me sad to think this is how she lived, but as she says she was happy she ate and she new she was loved , its not until you see what other folk have and you cannot have then maybe you feel you lived in poverty, but you did not really.

Thank you for your help in this matter, As long as her is ok and taking what ever he needs then Emma and i shall be happy.

Not to sure where to put this and feel free to move it . I have just been informed that the father in law has high blood pressure and he is on medication for this, at what cost i have no idea and what medication he is on either, it was a message from the sister in law that for Emma to call her dad. He said it is nothing to worry about and he does not want any financial help . Can anyone shed any idea what he may be proscribed and at what cost too, that is if you know of anyone who maybe has high blood pressure.

Sounds like a great time you are having .

AMAZING.

Lots of good advice as normal, not sure about the kilt thing, what does the back look like .

Its different when you are on holiday, you spend more and stay in nice places, plus being close to the beach there seems t be a breeze , but if you was not near a beach or your budget was not a holiday budget, there could be a difference.
