    Yes definitely

    Am planning to live out there for the next few summers between classes, I speak the language enough to do bar work etc and I'd only be doing the same here and complaining about the lousy weather!

    when my mum went to spain the last time she said that the prices there rival london in terms of booze/ chips/ buses etc.

    Not a very MSE thing to do MIke :money:

    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Hi Mike

    I know we are all in different circumstances but just wanted to say there are two of us and I only bring in £840 a month and I don't even have any debt :eek: (luckily, of course ;) ) Theres always someone worse off, I daresay someone else out there has even less than that. Not trying to be judgemental or anything but I wish I had £2,000 a month coming in :D

    I do sympathise with the bankruptcy thing and I know that idea of disappearing off to Spain must be very appealing for you but stick it out and try to take pleasure in the small things in life and look ahead to the future.
    ;)Thank goodness someone else said my thoughts, I can pick up £1000 if I do lots of overtime on top of the 37.5 hours and thats to look after my OH as well. Not looking for sympathy at all but 2K.............. luxury:confused:

    We are not after any sympathy etc etc... we have had a raw deal if you have ever seen any of my other posts... If we still had to pay everything the outgoingos would top 3k+++++.. I know like I said, we are very ver lucky to bring home 2k, I have worked hard to get a good job and so has Jim.. we work VVV long and antisocial hours looking after the needy in society.

    We certainly do not live in luxury, we know that an OR will take a massive chunk of our income... and are happy to pay this to him.

    please dont think we are taking the easy way out, my running away thread is simply a compulsive post... we will never do this. However please dont think we are loaded and taking the p1ss, we work damn hard, have worked damn hard to get here and this is the only way out.

    Thanks for your post... It is very very welcome.
