NEW YEAR RESOLUTION - LETS BE HAPPY

We live in SC and enjoy life here, life is too short to keep moaning and whinging lets spend the time being happy and counting our blessings

Life here in spain is much slower than UK which is why so many of us decided to move here permantently in the first place..  We are no as worse off as some other sites just go on to some other development forums and it will make you realise how good things here are in SC.

Tarays reputation and build quality is far better than most of the others in the area.

Been reading this forum for over a year and it has always been informative now its just depressing.  Be sunny like the weather over here.

Every cloud has a silver lining

Don't fall for this twaddle. Its just deeply unscientific propaganda put about by optimists. In fact, its more likely every cloud has a lead lining which means all our reservoirs are full of poisoned waters!

............. just kidding

The sun is shining, its around 20 degrees with not a cloud in the sky and is forecast to be the same for the next few days.

Sitting in a suntrap away from the breeze, it could be May, feeling the warm sun on your face and seeing everyone with a smile..........of course I'm happy!!   

Donna

I have had full sunshine today in Scotland. Blue skies, kids on holiday from school (half term), birds singing. Summer time?

Beautiful   -    except it was -2C during the day not 20C.

But one day we will be in SC with the warm sunshine and smiling. (it is hard to smile with a scarf wrapped around your head)

Today we went down to Mil Palmeras and sat in a sea side bar,drinking beers and coffees in brilliant blue skies and pure blue Med sea in 23 degrees,bliss.On Monday we were in England ,grey skies freezing cold and pissing with rain.............of course were HAPPY.Hope to see you soon in SC,the place to be.

I will be in SC 4 weeks today - roll on the sunshine and warmth.

Only problem is its for a few days only - boo hoo. Then back to the British spring.that'll be rain, hail, snow, thunder and a wee bit of sunshine.

Thanks dizzyspain but I found your post very patronising. Just because I am not happy with the pool situation does not mean I am not happy and letting my short life pass me by. It is called reality, some things are great sone things are not.

I know taray have a good reputation but doesn't mean they are perfect. I can only assume you know the owner personally and know his financial situation inside out.

If you find it depressing Dizzyspain I suggest you should stop looking at EOS. As you said life is too short. Continue to be thankful and count your blessings you are in wonderful san cayetano and the world is perfect. I shall carry on dealing with reality. Thanks for your wonderful insight though.

i dont think dizzyspain is being patronising i total agree with what they have said. we are enjoying life out here like most off our neighbours, dont knock it till you try it . we know the pool will be built  eventually, and no  WE dont know taray bosses personally!!! before we get accused off being insiders!!...well off now to sit in the warm sunshine..

look forward to meeting new neighbours when they come out..

steve and anita

I have just built a snowman with my daughter and I am happy.

No sunshine at all.

Its 23 degrees and awesome!

However I agree a little with sisky. Reality doesnt come in the shape of everything is wonderful all of the time. I am incredibly happy here and so happy we found this little village which is growing everyday BUT i shall continue to fight for matters I feel important. A discussion forum is for everyone, those who feel positive, negative or both. Dizzyspain perhaps just a happy thread would have been better so people can choose to post or not instead of basically telling everyone LETS be happy and count our blessings when unfortunately not everyone has blessings to count. Irishfinn has just lost 35k, telling him to count his blessing may seem as sisky said very patronising right now. i do appreciate what you are trying to do tho and its nice for those who are happy here like myself, steve and Anita and many others!

As I sit here naked in my garden catching the suns rays, I am incredibly grateful I live this wonderful life but now feel slightly angry that I have burnt my bum. I am glad i bought with taray and am here but am upset over the pool delays. I tried to be sunny like the weather here but I couldnt find any yellow tights in my size. LIFE, its different for everyone!!!!!

If you bring your burnt bum over here I will cool it in the deep snow.

Tina, when was the last time you had a snowball fight?

I think I have frost bite in my fingers. They are so cold I was going to wee on them to heat them up.

I would be really happy (like the TV commercial ) if only Taray would tell the truth and be honest.

even if things are important to people - dont be so bloody cheeky to someone if they are optimistic and happy and post nice messages on this site.

this site is not just for the few who want to keep repeating their sad stories it is for EVERYONE AND ANYONE!

dont ever suggest that someone should stop visiting this site unless you are the OWNER OF THE WEBSITE because you have no right. everyone has the freedom to say what they want if they arent hurting others so if you have nothing nice to say and are thinking of attacking someone or being sarcastic to them then you are really really sad and  dont deserve a 'good life'. furthermore you just should not and if you dont understand why you are arent a decent person worth any time to anyone.

to those who do communicate in that way - why dont you get a life and enjoy the fact that you are in spain or are likely to be in spain..

REALITY (such a popular word on a virtual people forum) while others are much worse off than you in england are loosing their homes because of a global financial problem in the world economy caused by banking greed .. now many people are loosing their homes and reposessions are happening every day en masse !!!  

If you have managed to ride the bad waves and have a place in the sun in murcia region with the beaches and good weather and all the other nice things nearby - then you should count yourselves lucky !

i am sure taray will understand the expectations of the people who are buying property from them. i want all of the same things that those who keep posting and repeating, so instead of posting on a website why dont you go to those meetings with the minority of people who seem to be doing something  about negotiating with the developers.

Spain is a social country that does and achieves most things though person-to-person communications,, i would bet that internet forums and english websites are not normally the most effective methods for influencing property development and local planning in spain. We should talk to them.

PS. pls dont be tempted to send stupid response messages (sarcastic, implying i am a spy, or any other stupid childish idea) or hop aboard your very high horse because you dont get any rewards for it from the other people on this website who just watch and observe the few who make themselves look foolish, just think carefully about whether you want to upset your neighbours or want to bond and be part of a nice new community in a beautiful and liberal part of the world (just look at places like zimbabwe.. where things are not great for british expats).  If you cant help but mount your rather large horse, be assured i will be laughing at you profoundly while sipping a nice drink and thinking about feeling sorry for you.

Cbrammled, havnt had a snowball fight in ages thank goodness! do not miss the snow at all. As for weeing on your hands..... well remind me not to shake it if we ever meet, that grose!

Enjoy the snow because you wont see much of it here! Only the beautiful sun and a little bit of rain now and again!

Tina, I am very pleased to hear it. I will be out on holiday soon myself and am looking forward to leaving the snowy fields behind me. Good news about the ramblers being clean now I can sit on my balcony and enjoy the view. Cbrammled, what was tarays advert? Forget about time. Well they definately did that. I never saw the Taray TV advert, only the dvd in the sales office.

Well done Niceboy thanks for such a positive post we agree wholeheartedly  lets enjoy life

What tv commercial are you talking about? never seen one for taray only polaris world!

It was the 15 minute promo video that Taray showed to everybody and their dog 2 years ago. It was made like a long tv advert. 'If you lived here your life would be perefect and happy, Taray are souper douper developers that you can trust your life with'. The ONLY part of the video that was true was about the Murcia region.

This promo video stoped being shown a long time ago, I think when they continually changed the plans for phase2.

Its fantastic that some people are happy with their lot but equally sad that many people are not. If you take out any personal tragedies that may have happened, you will find the common denominator in causing sadness on this site is Taray.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTION-LETS BE HAPPY

Niceboy - I take it that by your comments your are talking to Taray every day and challenging them as to why they have not completed all the stated facilities at SC. Have you met up with others that stay at SC and set up a group to negotiate these failures with Taray? I disagree with your comment "i am sure taray will understand the expectations of the people who are buying property from them". You can not have failed to see the problems Taray has caused to its customers. The expectations are very simple and clear cut - Taray to deliver and honour its contractual obligations under Spanish law and signed purchase contract.. You may be happy with the performance of Taray but I certainly am not.

If Taray were to fulfill their obligations then we could change the motto slightly to -LETS BE HAPPIER. There will always be Victor Meldrew type characters but dont confuse them with people who have genuine grievances against Taray. I should be completing on my quad this month (contractual date) but I am playing in the snow instead. I said exactly a year ago that phase2 will be a year late in completion. No body believed me then but it looks like I will not be far out.

Spain is a social country...............Very hard to do person-to-person when you are 2000 miles apart. The EOS website/forum has brought thousand of people together to discuss relevant matters and pass on information and experiance. Knowledge is power. I am sure you will have read how Maria De Castro has helped hundreds of members off this forum and using information gained she and her law firm are influencing and changing the Spanish legal system. As for others - I bet many people would not have purchased on SC if they had the information that is available to them now on this forum.

In reply to CB.

some points made were really good. Other things you have written for public digestion are embarassing (they are for me and they should be for you). You dont reconcile all your good information when  you  leave messages like you did for me.

You dont know what i have been doing or who i have been talking to! If you have questions that you would like to ask me, you should have shown some etiquette and send them to me directly. Perhaps we should meet up in Spain and you can talk to me person-to-person and we can practice being social?

I am very happy about MDC and their help to people.

Good luck with any enquiries to Taray and i hope that things progress very soon - I will moving to SC soon and am looking forward to living in a lovely spanish village.
