So much to do and so little time!

Well we had a very interesting Saturday spent at a Franchising show which looks like the way we may proceed. Of course not everything would be transferable to Spain and we need to spend some time looking to see if what we decide to do is practical and viable for us. I need to be looking at Spanish franchising too I know.
What I do know is that I dont really want to run a retail outlet, bar or restaurant but that only narrows it down a certain amount. I am an HR manager & quality/environmental consultant by trade now - but thats not necesssarily what I want to do in Spain. (is it best to stick to the devil you know or go for a complete change?)
Basically I need to make some decisions soon because I cant afford to live the Life of Riley in Spain for too long after we move without earning some money. My husband's pension won't stretch quite that far!
We have had some really good comments about what to bring and what not to bring - thanks everyone who replied. Its changed my perspective somewhat and I am not panicking so much about having to get rid of everything. I think we will now bring more that we first intended and especially some tools - which has made my husband a happier man.
I feel that we are getting nearer now and the butterflies are starting to flutter a bit. I am trying to be prepared as much as possible without using it as an excuse - or we will never be ready. We had a frost this morning - its only 6 October and I had to scrape the car - bet its not frosty in Spain!
