Hey,

Just to say thanks to Karunsun for the western union advice. You just go one of like a million places and they send it and arrives at wherever you tell it to in minutes, then you just go with passport and pick it up. Good times. They charge 14 quid, 13 less than natwest for the same service. Well, having said that, im going to pick it up after classes today so I hope thats how it works, the web site says so but as we all know . . .web sites lie!

Thanks for the info.

Yeah I went to the bank but as I have only been in Spain for like three weeks and only had the account for two they said there was nothing they could do. Doesnt help my Catalan is weak either, Im in Barcelona. 

I definitely look at western union though, muchas gracias

PS beware of the pickpockets, they are professional!!! haha

Hello all,

I know its a bit micky mouse when you guys are talking about serious tranfers, but Im out here teaching english and had most of my cash stolen the other night, when I say most I mean I ran out today! My folks have tranferrred some to my spanish account today but I fear it will be monday before it clears, Im with BBVA.

Anyone know how I can get a small sum ( say 200 euros ) transferred same day??
