		<title>Property Management Marbella</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Has anyone had a delightful experience with a property managment company in Marbella? I am finding the lack of communication and care astonishing with one company I am using. I have to go in and check what the cleaners have done because each time there is a mistake. They charge me around 100 euros a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Car rental London</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Beware of cheap deals on cars. Cheap car rentals can often be false economy. My husband arrived at London Stansted to collect his rental car and there was no car rental booth. He had to phone up a number that sounded like someone in a house answering the phone in-between cleaning the kitchen. He waited [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clean up operation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had gales in Marbella yesterday like I have never seen before. I actually got dressed like a womble and attempted to go and take the dog out for a walk. He was spooked and when I saw the trees at 90 degrees and roofing material littered on the front drive I was spooked. Today [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My mum in law who lives in London rang today to tell me they had 6 inches of snow and to see if my hubby had got back safe and sound as he had a flight at 6am today from London Stansted airport. I didn&#8217;t hold out a lot of hope, after all doesn&#8217;t everything [...]]]></description>

		<title>The best pizza in Marbella and Puerto Banus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh my, oh my, oh my, after 10 years of living in Spain we have just discovered what must surely be the best pizza restaurant in the whole of Marbella and Puerto Banus. Yes, even better than Piccasos by some measure and then some more&#8230;&#8230; Prices start from 5.50 euros and it is a true [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dog kennels in Marbella</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I struggled for a short time on where we should put Charlie when we went away to the UK. He&#8217;s a labrador so shutting him away in a traditional kennel didn&#8217;t seem a good option. So we opted for a kennel that was set in a large garden, where the dogs are split into three [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hollister Sale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m still bewildered by the Hollister shops. I don&#8217;t understand why needing a guide dog to enter a shop and then a magnifying glass when you do enter the shop is a good idea? I&#8217;m going to go next time armed with a lightsaber which will have two uses. One to be able to find [...]]]></description>

		<title>Love recycling in Spain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[and I don&#8217; t mean the plastics, bottles and cardboard, I mean personal belongings. I&#8217;m on a January mission to de-clutter so when everyone is out of the house I go hunting for clutter. Anything is fair game so long as it isn&#8217;t mine and it doesn&#8217;t have legs. I took to the skip today [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tried to do insurance but oh my word, I have become addicted to coffee in an attempt to stay awake writing about car insurance and I&#8217;ve had to hide the pills when writing about life insurance.
