Really bad month for me,like so many members of the forum my job has now gone.After 8 years i am now unemployed,sadley we should have been going to arillas in may have now had to rebook for september.On the plus side my daughter and grandaughter are comming home from south africa to live in england in may,some of you may remember i went out to see them in september for the first time so as the saying goes im 'Down But Not Out'.
Sorry to hear this Heather....but every cloud has a silver lining. At least you are still able to go to Arillas in September....and your family is coming home. Hope you manage to find another job....
So sorry about your job, as you say there are now quite a few forum members now in the same position, glad that you will still get to Arillas even if a little later than you planned. I remember reading about your trip to see your daughter and grandaughter...... and now they are coming home.... wonderful news.... will it be permanent?

Thank you sandy and vainbill for your kind comments.Yes vainbill they are comming back to live here as things where getting bad where they lived,and with a baby they have decided to sell up and come home.So yes on the job front it may be bad but i have so much to look forward to.x
haha I remember saying about the tears when you left but now tears of joy when they come home. Glad you will get to Arillas in September, what date are you going.
Im sure another job will come along. Viv x
It would be so easy to say "Go to Arillas, your dreams will all come true." Well heather luvver, even I am here with you in this hard, tough, real world. Our October fags have run out. We have to struggle with roll-ups. The heating oil company wants to up our monthly payment to double, which we can't afford. We now eat the cheapest (if healthy) food. That would be my last sacrifice after vodka and fags.... The list could go on.
But do you know? Because I saw this coming, I booked our flights and Bardis Sun Studios so we could cope with the onslaught. We have HOPE. And friends to support us. People like yous. People like John and Dot.
I will survive, and so will you.

Yet again I find myself answering a post in the public board. I want to welcome all our guest viewers to the truth about our Arillas community.
Totally deprecated by the tour operators, the invisible bay between Agious Georgios and San Stefanos is Arillas. It is calm and peaceful. Nobody does anything quckly, and nobody worries. Life there is for living and enjoying. It is laid back and tolerant. Tons (tonnes for Europhiles) of Corfiots descend on it in August because it represents their idea of a perfect holiday.
When the Tour Operator tells you to go to Turkey, think again. Your hard earned money would be better spent in Arillas. In safety and peace, amongst friends. You will certainly make some new friends in Arillas.

Thank you so much for your comments they mean so much to me.viv we are now going 23rd sep for two weeks that gives us time to get spending money and to settle family back in.Iagree with you justphill,cigs bills food now have to be on a buget,but we will be back to arillas,we had to pay extra to transfer but i would rather do that than be without our two weeks of heaven.
Justphil you are what keeps all of us going on this forum,you tell it how it is the sruggles the cut backs,no one has to pretend how hard it is with you and can be honest with their hardships,keep being who you are x
heather, viv, john and everyone else medears, we are stardust, we are golden and we gotta get ourselves back to the garden...... (Anyone remember that?)
The ony thing that keeps us going is ousard love of
Sorry luvvers, totally pi**ed after a week on't wagon. Norma pi**d service resumes when the oil price falls.
