Returning to your 2nd home, or home to be in Spain - Page 9

I can’t comment on cock roaches but surly ants are looking for food.  If you leave the work tops perfectly clean then you should not have any ants.

Flour left in a cupboard can be infested with tiny insects. I keep my flour in a Tupperware container in my fridge... best place for it in Spain.

If you found cock roaches in your bathroom you would assume that they are coming in through the drains.  Put the plugs in before going home, possibly put a piece of squashed up tin foil into the overflow hole. Turn all water off before leaving.

I remember years ago seeing what I thought were mice droppings in our saucepan cupboard, later was told that they could have been cockroach droppings. I had a piece of board fitted to the rear of the cupboard and never saw any droppings since. 

Leaving properties for longish periods of time is unfortunate because you have no way of knowing if the rain has penetrated during a wet period. More than likely the sun will have dried any wet areas in the interim. It pays to have someone to come in on a regular basis to check the place.

Watch your credit card statements folks, Easyjet have had a data breach which is currently being investigated by the UK ICO (data privacy supervisory authority) ....2,208 credit cards details taken.

Stay well (and keep taking those vitamins)!

I shall race upstairs and pack my suitcase!  Such good news but I have said so all along!

I received an email from Easyjet identified as having my data breached. No credit card or passport details hacked but it says " they do know where I am flying from and where I am flying to also when the flight was booked and amount paid"

I will watch my credit card statement all the same.

Hi ray,

I just had an email from easyJet, informing me my contact details have been hacked but not my credit card details and to watch out for any suspicious looking emails.

I did nothing more than delete my card details off their website and change that password, scamming emails usually look cheap and poorly set out, usually addressing you as dear customer, never by name...

It’s also worth noting I still haven’t had a refund from flights cancelled in early April...

Hope this helps someone a little
