I have always been a fan of finance and business so when I decided to combine the two interests into one, well.. the result was business finance! I have had my head in books relating to this topic for weeks now, and finally I am getting to understand the key areas of it. The thought of enrolling at college to learn further had crossed my mind but I decided to stick to learning at home in my own time. This meant re-decorating the study. I spent 5 days transforming the place into a business finance office, my knowledge on the matter is going from strength to strength!
If you have taken out a PPI policy on a loan or credit card within recent years, you will want to check to see if you can put in for a ppi reclaim. Thousands already have and have claimed back some of the 10 billion pounds that the banks have taken in PPI payments since the early 1990s.
PPI claims are easy and generally hassle free, it can be very straight forward to get your money back.
Before I go on holiday to Spain, I have to remember to put in that claim before I do. I have left messages all around my house to remind me of the this, one on the fridge, one on the mirror in the bathroom.. To be honest with you, I can’t really afford this holiday so I am hoping the ppi reclaim I am going in for really pays off! My friend got a ppi refund last year so I am hopeful that I can be as lucky and get some cash back. You never know, the money I get back might pay for a return trip to Madrid if this holiday is successful!
I spent all last week getting ready to relocate down south so I can be near my new job. I didn’t realise that moving house would be so stressful! I got all the family and a few mates to chip in with carrying furniture onto the van but I was still concerned with getting everything setup at the other end. Some people thrive off moving house, but for me, I won’t be rushing to do it again!

While the global property markets are slowly showing signs of recovery many expect the holiday or leisure property markets to remain stagnant for some time yet. The strength of the Euro against the British pound is another factor and with the UK expected to be among the stragglers emerging from the recession this further dampens the prospects for developers in this market. Here in Spain numerous developments are on indefinite hold including a large golf resort development near Malaga. However in Turkey, Altinkum apartments are bucking the trend and sales are holding strong. Many experts believe this is due to the recent EU status of Turkey.
As consumers we are generally well protect against mistreatment by retailers and other commercial organisations. Consumer rights are fought for and sanctioned throughout the parliaments of Europe and Western societies the world over. It is therefore a surprise to many to discover a case like payment protection insurance miss-selling on such a grand sales as such that has been happening in recent years. The fall out for this is becoming huge and will have a potentially catastrophic effect on some businesses. However the message is clear for individuals – if you have been the victim of miss-selling, get your PPI Claims submitted to get your money back.
Recent figures reveal that the travel industry is changing. The effects won’t be felt for another few years yet, but what we are seeing is that gap years are no longer the preserve of the student population or twenty something career breakers looking for a gap year experience experience. It largest growth area is in the 55+ bracket or grey gaps as they are becoming known as. The south east Asian stomping grounds of Thailand, Laois, Cambodia and Vietnam are still popular, but grey gaps are looking for a little more luxury and have the cash to afford it too. It’ll be interesting to see how this affects traditional city break locations such as Madrid. The gap year Thailand set could become an interesting mix of young and old.
Recently when trying to move house, I came across a problem! It was essential I found the best letting agents Madrid has to offer. I found this difficult though. Eventually I found the perfect choice and I was delighted with the way things turned out.
I am now living in a modern 2 bed flat just south of Madrid in a brilliant, safe area. Moving in wasn’t too fun as there was a lot of work to do and I dislike packing and unpacking all my things! But once settled, it was kind of refreshing to have a nice place.
