Elche!

After talking to the guys at work, we are now hiring a car for a while.  Here on The Costa Blanca, you can hire a car for €4 a day,  why the hell wouldn´t you.  So in the mean time, before we actually buy something, we at least have a car to get about in. 

Personally I don´t shop in Primark, though Jamie has just said to me, it´s kinda posh out here.  To be honest, the type of customers that frequent it at least in Elche are very different to those back in The UK. 

​Jamie´s clothes mainly consisted of track suits, caps and hoodies.  I´m not quite sure who´s influenced him in the wardrobe department, but to be honest, it needed to be changed.  He was adamant, that on top of his new life, he wanted to change everything about himself.  Not a bad thing to do, once in a while, when one considers, just how much all of our lives have changed for the better in recent times!  So change it was!

Jamie had an interview on Wednesday morning, for a local restaurant here in GA.  The interview went well, and he is happy that he will be working in a few weeks.  Working will be great for positive thinking and will motivate him on to bigger and better things.

​He popped into the shop afterwards to do a shift with me and spent the afternoon working with the girls, rearranging ornaments and sorting out men´s clothes.  So happy faces all round!  The Ladies to like to Mother our Jamie!

We decided to go to Elche, about 20 km from where we are, so Jamie could go to Primark and sort out his lack of wardrobe.  Primark doesn´t really exist here in the same way as it does in the UK, but there are some British Malls here and there dotted around Spain!

Jamie spent about €60 and practically got a whole new wardrobe.  He has to be one of the most awkward people to shop with ever.  With a waste size of 26 inches, he is practically child size, so finding stuff that fits is a real chore.  Still at least he managed to find some clothes that fitted!

​To my horror we had lunch in Mcdonalds, which is even cheaper here, than it is in The UK.  I hate burgers as a rule, but Jamie wanted a Happy Meal, yes a happy meal!

We skyped Natalee Michelle when we got home from shopping.  It´s always great to talk to her.  Jamie showed her his new outfits and we had a chat about life, the universe and that.  We are hoping she is going to come out and stay here with us for a bit, I think she would fall in love with the place! Missing this girl loads.  She has done so much for all of us, that we truly owe her the World. 

​Another wonderful, happy and glorious day on The Costa´s. #stilllovingspain
