Woke up early this morning and worried about to renew or not to renew my residencia. Took the dogs a walk but didn't stay in the campo too long as they are not muzzled and didn't want one of them to suffer a sudden death from poisoning, processionary caterpillars or Toads.
So what to do this morning, could go online but I may be tempted to look at the BOP site and find out I owe some Gov. agency 75 cents from years ago. Need cash from the bank...what if someone embargoes my account and it gets frozen, should I open a few other accounts? Do they still pay the utilities out of a frozen account?
Two coffees and two ciggies later I wonder if I am really legal now I have the medical certificate to go with my UK licence...or if I scrape a couple of cars (something I am prone to do) will my insurance refuse to pay out. Maybe not go to the bank and shops today...but what about the transport strike, do I need to stock up? stock up on what?
OH suggested going out on the boat and I remembered according to A.COM there seems to be loads of things we haven't done regards the legalities of having a boat all these years, seems easier to sell it Could go for a swim but what if the PH is wrong and my skin comes out in blotches, can I really trust my OH with this
Perhaps selling up and going to live in Bournemouth may be more relaxing. What about house prices crashing here? and despite my villa being 20 years old and having enough legal paperwork to fill a filing cabinet what if I am missing some vital piece of paper
Decided on a nice laid back lunch on the beach, don't know what will happen to our lifestyle though when the pound drops to 75 cents
Living On the Edge
Hi Katy,
Normally an embargo does not freeze your account, only the amount of money to cover the embargo and that is shown in retenciones..........
Funny post!!
Have some tinto verano, watch the wildlife and chill...........
I was worried about BOP and all sorts before but it seems not to be a matter of shame here just a matter of proof of administrative inefficiency.........

Very funny Katy and it made my day, considering
I have been on the phone all day giving everyone hell
Here are a few examples
1) Still waiting for confirmation of opening saving acc. Has taken over 2 weeks
2) Transferring ISA's taken over a month
3) Waiting for end of year tax receipts from April
4) Waiting over 2 months for pair of chest waders (free gift with magazine subs)
No the chest waders aren't for me, we haven't had any floods for ages!
Guess what everyone's excuse was?
"We are very sorry but we've had a backlog"
What is going on with everyone
And don't get me started on my daughter's house move and the situation with her buyer, I really am ready to burst a bloodvessel, I'd have a glass of wine but I put on about 6lbs lately, thanks to stress-eating Twix bars.
I'm off to find some low-calorie gin

I'm always disappointed when a liar's pants don't actually catch on fire.

I thought it wasn't going to happen and then all of a sudden it has.
