Warning re Turkeys
I would like to issue a timely reminder to all fellow digamites to check thoroughly the small print on any packaged turkey. My family’s Christmas dinner was ruined by a ‘Fresh Turkey’ bought from Mercadona which was infused with garlic and other flavourings. I had not noticed it as it was just in the small list of ingredients on the back of the bag. Off to the butcher this year for an unadulterated bird

Money Taken from Bank Accounts ?
Do any readers know if Endesa and The Ayuntamiento can legally take money from your bank account without authorization, or is ‘just the Spanish way?’
This is reference to Electricity and Water costs.

Like George I too was wondering about this alternative to Endesa so if anybody has gone ‘over’ to them perhaps they could share their experience, good or bad, with the rest of us on Digamextra.
I particularly like the idea that they only use renewable energy.

Services Needed- House Sitters throughout the Year
We are a retired couple that rent the upper part of a house with large terrace above as well. This is located at the beginning of the village of Venta Baja 15 minutes inland of Velez Malaga. The bus service is poor to the coast (Torre Del Mar) For shops/resturants/butchers/bars just a five minute walk.
We are looking for house sitters when we go away in our Motorhome for a minimum of a month at a time to Portugal. We are very flexible and can be away at times to suit house sitters.
We pay rent all year to include water and electric so you only need pay your food etc.
Our back garden is fully enclosed with a 400 mtr orange etc orchard. There is a double gate secure entry for secure parking with a very large terrace with barbecue. There is one flight of stairs to the apartment from front entry. This has three bedrooms but converted to two doubles and the smaller third one now a second lounge with Spanish TV. The second bedroom has an old TV with German TV. Our main bedroom we prefer to lock when away. Main lounge has IPTV for English TV and a very good WiFi system throughout apartment. Main lounge also has air conditioning which is also for heating. Mobile electric radiators also if needed. A large bathroom with shower over bath and also houses the washing machine. The kitchen has all that you would need including freezer. Dish washer is on our terrace.
We have a dog that we take away with us. On our upper terrace is a large cage with six Love Birds. These need water changing every two days also food topping up the same, but not let out !

Services Needed-Ryanair Bookings Problem–anyone else ?
I have used Ryanair successfully for some years. I have flights booked with them at the moment. I downloaded our outward boarding passes (from Malaga airport) two weeks ago without any fuss, but now I want to download those for the return leg there’s a problem.
Although every other website is working, Ryanair.com will not open for me. I know it’s working in Estepona and in the UK.
I have tried by laptop and by phone, no joy. We use Orange, and are in the Torre Del Mar area.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it Ryanair or Orange (or me)? If anyone can offer any non technical advice or information, would be grateful!
Any responses may be of interest to others as well!

Your email address must be quoted in this forrmat…I insert spaces within the address so that nasty software can’t steal their address for spam purposes – e,g, my address is correctly janekirkspain@gmail,com
if it were a Contributor’s address I’d insert spaces thus –
janekirkspain @ gmail,com.
So all you do is remove those spaces before contacting a contributor.
