Dog re-homing, Urgent!

Hello to everyone, my dog allergy is getting worse and even though my beautiful girls live outside I cannot constantly keep taking antihistamines and eye and nose drops so sadly I need to re-home my 2 girls. They are very well behaved and affectionate, they love running in the campo and on the beach and although they are sisters they have very different personalities. All vaccines up to date and they are sterilised.
Thank you. Kaye in Torrox Costa tel: 650102640

Good News about the AAR Puppies!!

AAR would like to thank everyone who responded to the appeal for foster homes for the puppies in a field. We now have foster homes lined up for all the pups and are in the process of catching the remaining puppy. We are also hoping to catch and neuter mum

Thank you all so much and to Jane for posting the appeal so quickly.

Lots of little lives saved ad a few already have forever homes in the pipeline. A fantastic result.

If anyone would like to adopt one, they are GSD Crosses and absolutely gorgeous! Contact us ataxarquia-rescue@hotmail.com

Happy Christmas!

Spanish Bureaucracy & Service

I read the town hall saga, and after buying a house just outside Nerja, my wife and I have also jumped through many hoops to pacify Spanish beurocrats. By all accounts we were very lucky, due to a very clever estate agent. It is all very frustrating.

At the moment we have no telephone, no internet, no email and no TV. My handicapped wife has been without for almost a month. We comitted the terrible crime of attempting to change to a more reliable tele operator, following a recommendation in Digame.
Jazztell refuse to release the telephone number, but they have cut off the connection to our house in El Campo. It is not possible to communicate with Jazztell if you do not speak Spanish, but even our Spanish speaking friends, including our solicitor and the local “Gestoria” have been unable to help.
Naturally Jazztell still help themselves to our bank account, but that will change later this morning.
So beurocracy and a total unwillingness to help appears to be “the norm” in Spain, whether it be government or private sectors. Good luck with the the town hall, you may need it, but hope it is all sorted out in the end.
Harry & Maj-Lis,

Complaints of Poor Service from Town Halls ……

You can complain about Town halls to, registro@defensordelpueblo,es Address, Calle Zurbano,42, 28010, Madrid, Spain.

They only deal with town hall complaints. I have used them and they do respond, you can e-mail me on robertinsedella @ gmail.com

Thanks to all who responded to my quest for a dermatologist.

I got many responses. Seems that there is a lot of skin cancer around.
I am very grateful to all the kind people who responded.
Now my problem is choosing one out of so many good recommendations!

Services

In the UK I had my own computer company for 15 years, fixing PCs, laptops with hardware and software issues and I am looking at offering this service in Competa, Canillas de Albaida , Archez and surrounding areas. I know there are a few computer repair companies in the Nerja area offering similar services, however when I have spoken to locals they have said that if someone was more local and could actually fix the PC/Laptop in their own home they would be interested in such a service. I have a vehicle here in Canillas and so could offer such a service. If such an advert would be possible that would be fantastic.

Lastly I would like to thank you on your website, and for running such a site, I have found it an excellent resource since moving here.

Recommendation – Headlight Cleaner: Response

(1) Hi Eddy, You can use toothpaste instead of headlight cleaner, it works really well.

(2)

The best and the cheapest cleaner for this job is toothpaste and a damp kitchen paper towel. Wet the headlight first then apply a little of the toothpaste to the paper towel. Rub the headlight, with the paper towel, in circular motions. It should only take a short time to bring the lens back to new. John L.

Recommendation Wanted Air Conditioning

We have a 3 bedroom villa in Torrox campo, which is rented out to holiday makers. We have, until now, resisted to have air conditioning units installed which we believe are expensive to run, especially to holiday makers who may be in the habit of leaving them on whilst leaving doors open or indeed going out for the day!

Can anyone recommend a reliable company to install these units for us that would suit our needs?

Thank you,

Doug,

Recommendation

Just had my car valeted by a guy named Warren, who I found on Digame.

The car was looking very tired with marks on the body and the inside hadn’t been cleaned properly for years.

When Warren returned the car it was like having a new car.

Would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who wants a first class valet on their car. His number is 618346098.
