Algarve Removals

Post by LICY »

Not sure anyone will be able to answer this one, but I am having trouble getting AR to come back to me about a booking I made. I was to hear from them latest Friday regarding collection tomorrow or latest Friday morning. I have text, left a message on the landline and sent an email early Saturday morning and again in the afternoon. I am really disappointed as I would certainly recommend them otherwise. Has anyone experienced difficulty very recently? We come out in 2 weeks, so more than anxious about getting our things delivered on 5 March to our villa. :roll: :cry: :cry:

Will do with all the work of choosing plants, planting them, putting up artwork, putting up a couple of cupboards and so it goes on. In between have a few drinks with friends from the forum. :D

Well they are but you know the other half save money so we said reduce the bill according to the amount if planting we do. So fingers crossed Mr LICY will be right that we can choose, get delivered and sort the planting in those few days. Otherwise they will have to do it. :lol:

If you arent having irrigation........

No grass,,,,lots of cacti. We have some young ones you can have.
Oleander seem to do OK without water, once established.

Things have been so dry this winter, our gardener has switched on the irrigation again. Normally he doesnt do that until later May or June

More expense :(

Reckon the cacti would be good around the washing line side as no irrigation installed there. are they very prickly ones though? oleander definitely. We will see it very soon, but you got a sneak preview. :D
