Many thanks Lifeline....

In that case, I shall leave the tiles alone!! I wasn't sure whether it would actually be any good as I've never used anything like it before.

Thanks again.....

Hi all,

We have just returned from our new house in Spain and, despite the mad panic about whether our new kitchen would be finished, I'm happy to say ..... that it was! There's still a couple of things that the builders have to finish off, but all in all, it's done.

However, the wall tiles have not been changed and whilst they are pretty ok, I wouldn't mind updating them.

Does anyone know whether the Spanish DIY stores (Bricoman etc) sell paint for tiles. It's readily available in the UK but I'm not sure about availability in Spain? Additionally, if anyone has used this type of product before ~ is it any good?

Many thanks for your help,

Butterfly

Thanks Fibby .... not what I wanted to hear, but thanks anyway.

To add to our 'woes' ~ the builders who are putting in our new kitchen... who PROMISED it would be ready for our arrival on Wednesday, have now let us know this evening that the granite worktops have not arrived and so have not been put in. Apparently the builders are "sincerely sorry" ?? So sorry that they didn't let us know until we pushed for an answer thi evening !!!!! 

The knock on effect of that........NO kitchen sink, NO cooker & NO fridge freezer!

So....even IF the supermarkerts WERE open, we'd have no appliances to store or cook our food

 Hi guys....

I need your help please.

My husband and I are due to fly out to Spain on Wednesday (19th). We appreciated that as it was Easter, most shops etc would be closed Good Friday through til Easter Monday.

However, we hadn't bargained for the fact that the shops could also be closed on Wednesday & Thursday?

We will be in Teulada, Northern Costa Blanca. Is anyone able to kindly confirm whether, most importantly, supermarkets will be open on Wednesday/Thursday?

In addition, what about hypermarkets such as Eroski and shops selling household goods .... will they be open? Or should we assume not?

Thanks in advance for your help

Butterfly
