hola everyone..;D
i"m david from the uk [ yorkshire ] been with my girl friend for just over 2 years, she lives in madrid. i have made many trips over there to madrid and my g/f has made many to the uk, but now the time has come for me to go over there too live with her..;D been looking forward too it for ages now. it will be in the next 3 weeks..!! my nerves are a bit wobbly but in a good and exited way, its probably natural si..? :o ..lol.. my spanish is not very good though [ i have not had my head in to it too much ] i know 100's of words but i struggle to make sentances, but i think when i am there surounded by the spanish speakers i will pick it up in no time [ maybe join a spanish course as well].. my g/f has just moved in too her new house, so there is no worries in that dept....plus i have a job to start in a warehouse the pay is only low [ 700 ] a month but everybody has to start somewhere dont they..lol.. i want to try and move on too construction thats very good pay i have heard. i know this path i am taking is all laid out for me but i just wanted to share it with you all.....;D

Be prepared to be shattered after spending an evening thinking ant talking in spanish - Marina made me speak spanish for a full 20 minutes and I had a brain (more) like jelly (than usual) at the end of it.

good luck

.... but i think when i am there surounded by the spanish speakers i will pick it up in no time .....;DHi David. This is known as learning Spanish by osmosis and tends not to work very well ;). Seriously though you will find it a bit easier when you have plenty of people to practice on. Good luck and enjoy Spain.

Have a look at the classified section of the English papers in Spain. Example (http://www.roundtownnews.co.uk/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,147/)here which has a van returning to Spain 18th June part empty. (under SERVICES). You could also contact the normal international removals firms for a quote - it would at least give you an idea of costs involved.

If that's the case, you really need to study Spanish language. A month after, you'll be fluent on that. If ever you will both settle to Spain, why not try to get a tenerife property. I've heard that the it's a beautiful place.

Good luck to you!

Spotted this link in the googleads on the site - might be worth giving them a ring - if they're going anyway they'd rather fill slack capacity than go half empty

the good news is you can get an online estimate by naming the individual items you want to move

thanks manuel.. i am learning the spanish slowly but getting there..lol. the first ever holiday abroad for me was tenerife, it is a lovely place..!! but madrid is lovely too, you just dont get the sea view up there..lol.. my girl friend has just moved in to the house she bought so one mortgage is enough for now...;D if we ever get the feeling for a swim we can just pop on the train down to malaga or even benidorm....;D
