hi barb, wish i was that brave! not sure i could just pack up and go in case it all feel apart and knowing my ;uck it would. looks like i will have to save like mad and buy somewhere i can retire to(not that i want to do that, i would have a long while to wait!). good luck in your life and thanks for the advice Donna x

hi, thanks barb for your reply, it is difficult i suppose and i do realise this from what other people are saying. i am prepared to do anything but again they normally want experience and to be honest i cannot see myself working in a bar, its just not me.

I have thought of just coming out and covering myself financially for 2 years but i worry that after then if i haven't found anything then i too would end up back in the uk and the idea is i sell up here and buy over there. so i don't know i may have to come and retire when i am old but i don't want to do that lol, will struggle on and see what happens, Donnaxx

hi all, hope you don't mind me joining in this thread, but i too have experience in elderly and learning disabilities and i am hands on at the moment but have also done the admin side, reviews etc. i also was concerned what happens to all the ex pats living out there once they are frail, as i too want to move out there permanently and will be old there too! there must be something already established out there as the english have been going out there for a long time.I did think of starting something myself but don't have the spain knowledge and setting up a business can be risky.  I am still stuck in the uk at the mement and haven't even purchased a property yet but i wanted to be sure i could do the job i love, i really don't want to wait to relocate once i have retired i want to enjoy my life before i get too old( don't mean to offend any elderly people already out there).

Anyway there must be something we can do, i would be happy to work for someones agency giving care/shopping/ etc to the expats in their home, Donna x
