A new life...

We are moving lock, stock and barrell from the UK to Spain. Hopefully at Easter next year.

The way forward

Thank you to everyone who commented on my post last week.  It certainly has given me food for thought!!

I have been learning Spanish for over a year now and am now on my second year, although I am finding it very tiring working full time and being 7 months pregnant also!  It is keeping my brain ticking over and I am amazed at what I already understand and can converse with confidence (most of the time!) until people start speaking English!

We are definitely going to rent first, we won't just straight in with a mortgage in case it isn't for us and things don't work out, I think that is the most sensible option so far.  It looks like it will be another 6 months from now so i can have my daughter and get my head around that before upheaving us all to more stress and chaos!!  A huge pull for me is that my mum will be going first so i can learn from her mistakes (if any!) and take advise from her!  We are looking at a franchise option at the moment which seems like the best option but we do have a lot of research to do and need to find the right option for us.

I am definitely feeling more positive now and what ever decision we do make is for the children first and foremost, then for ourselves.  My main concern is work and I am willing to try my hand and new things and do something compleley different.  

Thank you for all your kind words of advice, it is a great comfort to know that so many compassionate people are there already and are making Spain there home!
