cost of living

Cheeky git :rotfl: we're not all bad lol
^ made me giggle hehe

*Robin* I will definitly be taking lots of olive oil back but both my partner and I are very lucky as both sets of parents live in Spain (we met at school here and he moved back to join the RAF 2 years ago) so we'll still get holidays here to pick up the things we miss, and i'll leave my spanish car here which i'll keep insured all year round that way we wont eve have to rent a car.

I'll have access to the NHS services as I still have a UK address (my grandparents), insurance number and passport. I have done my research on this as I wanted to check what i'll have to do upon moving back.
You can only have married quarters if you are married and have the marriage certificate so we're going to have to wait a little while for that and I'd prefer to give it a good go ourselves properly and then when we do move to married quarters we'll really appreciate the money we're saving.

Thanks for your suggestions and help

"stay away from the Ipswich area" - I've lived in Ipswich all my life and although it has some less plesent areas it is an incredibly friendly town. I would actually like the poster to state why they have given this advice - and I would bet £1 to 1p they come from Narwich!!

Nope not Norwich, but i grew up in Thetford, which also has a dodgy reputation...

One thing is for sure. Move back to the UK and be prepared to get done!
