And we're off too

[tonicha]

Not in Hiho though we didn't quite understand Jose, he does speak soooo quickly but apparently, he's sending the part off to Lisbon to be sorted and it will probably take about 10 days to get there and back

So cue mad frantic phone calls from me, and our old car is coming back this afternoon

So the hotel is booked, rang some friends, they said the market is tomorrow, not Wednesday, cue more frantic phone calls and the house we were going to see tomorrow, we're now seeing on Wednesday.

The hotel rang back, wanting to know why we wanted three rooms, for just two people - obviously my Portuguese is not as good as I thought - got that sorted

Rang the lovely Carla and she's doing another massive leaflet drop on Thursday at the market here, there are a couple of people interested in the house, but they haven't go the money sorted, so keeping everything crossed for that.

Now finishing off the cleaning so if we do get a viewing when we come back, at least the house is clean

[miasmum]

Have a lovely time

Sounds a complicated start

[tonicha]

Oh it was MM

[tonicha]

Car now back with us, Grumpy had to clean it but we can keep it for as long as we need it, which is very nice of Tom xx Still can't lock it though

He's feeling rather guilty, that the car he sold us is having to have a major - and expensive - repair.

[Kaz]

Well have a great time, despite the mishaps xx

[jenniren]

Blimey what a palaver Ton hope you and Grumpy have a lovely time

[Diflower]

Have fun, hope the car behaves

[tonicha]

It will, never had a problem before

Or is that famous last words?

We're driving on Tom's insurance, the docs to make it in the new owner (lady) are in the pipe-line, so if we get stopped, and we normally get stopped up there will make things complicated.

but we'll manage
