I would be surprised if any of the Spanish banks managed to force repayment from Brits who do go back home and just leave their property .

For one thing the UK is virtually impotent when it comes to getting money owed to the UK in the forms of fines etc that have been accrued by foreign individuals who leave the country without paying and secondly most of the people who have found themselves in negative equity are there because of the corrupt lawyers and officials in Spain that led to the massive overvaluation of these properties(that is if you can call some of those boxes a property).

If your already out and have given your keys back i would just forget about it, just dont go back there again

Hang on!!! This show is on in October, 9 months  from now, they want women who are 5-6 months pregnant by that date meaning they would have conceived sometime around April or May.

Sorry fella's but if the missus has a headache for the next 3 months it means she has her eyes on that modelling job and the freebies, better get used to those cold showers.

Hola Vicci and family

I know it may seem bleak at the moment for you but do try to think about the positives you have going for you , both yourself and your husband have eperience of living in Spain and know for sure that you want to make Spain your home. you both have family living there and your children were born there, you understand the culture and ways of the Spanish and i would imagine after all this time you can speak even basic Spanish (a huge plus i'm sure you agree).

All this means that getting back to Spain when things improve will not only be far easier for you than when you first went there but will no doubt help to re-inforce your determination that you will be back .

As i mentioned in an earlier posting this recession isn't permanent and is beginning to show signs of recovery and the building trade is always one of  the first trades to recover.

When you do get back to the UK bear in mind there is more help available to you now than there was when you left ,with working families tax credits child benefit, free dental for children etc ,so make sure you get everything your entitled to as this will help you get back on your feet quicker, then you can plan for when you will return to Spain

Keep positive keep smiling and all the best for the future
