Bargain – 72 hour sale for worldwide hotels and Mamas and Papas Baby Buggy

I may have forgotten to say, when we returned Mal having emailed Multimax to ask for our internet to be reconnected on 5th, it hadn’t been. We called them the following morning and they said we should have paid on 3rd. Why is everything so difficult here? We paid on 3rd May and gave them the date we would return. We were told then our payment date will change to 18th August. Now they are saying no but they would ring us back….no phone call back! The second day back they cut us off again, another phone call, same story. Mal asked them to check their records…yes, they would call us back…….. nothing!

We went to collect my car insurance in the morning, thanks Steve! We also visited David and Kenny as they have been kindly paying our water bill as the Beledeysi wouldn’t let us pay in advance. Then a big shop. We went to Ileli and I noticed a lot of prices have increased since we have been gone…chicken an increase of 2tl a kilo for one.  Of course all the fresh fruit and veg are cheap and so much tastier than in the UK, so we bought loads of fruit, water melon, cherries, figs, plums etc. All very sweet and delicious.

I am cleaning out all the kitchen cupboards as they all smell musty and of course washing everything and in between doing a bit of gardening. We thought we were coming back for a rest! We just get in the pool when we get too hot.
