San Stefanos news and views / Had to cancel....gutted
« on: April 22, 2015, 04:59:19 PM »
Hi all. Been meaning to write this update for a few months now but kept putting it off as its still very frustrating/disappointing.
Back in November last year we had to cancel our yearly 2 week stay at the Fedra due to a conflict of money interest. We had water coming into the garage so I replaced the roof which wasn't cheap but it was manageable. This unfortunately hasn't solved the problem which meant house roof repairs. As a public servant with a 2 year pay-freeze plus 3 years below inflation pay rises in the last 5 years things are tight and one thing had to go........the holiday or the roof. So a no brainer in the end.
For my sanity I should stop looking at this forum but the draws too strong. Continuing to do so is a form of mental self-harm.
Anyway hope to get back there next year especially as we've just received a 0.5% pay rise.
