Hey mrsb, yeah I know, grrrrrrr ants!! I developed a strategy of placing everything and I mean everything in tupperware containers. It looked like I had some ocd problem when you opened all the grocery cupboards as I made sure they were all lab led and matching in colour and sizes! it worked! at least I had ant free honey! :)
Morning Girls, trust you all had a good day yesterday, fantastic direction and info. Thank you once again. Yes BB was hoping not to have to stretch as far as 4 but was basing it around my last little gem I described at the tune of 280, so I figured I would be around the same again and top up myself. All to true lanarkwitch can't put the cart before the horse, but it is nice to get that general feel and direction on possibilities for housing. A girl can dream....! As for the maid, yes I will confess I do miss! :)
Ok enough chatting from me! thank you, I'm off to clean my bathrooms and wait for the time diff to continue my phoning of schools gaahhh!
best,
M
You girls are hilarious! I'm sitting here laughing like a hyena! I just about wet myself laughing. When I moved from the last villa I discovered just exactly how the multitude of ants were getting into the kitchen. The tiles were precariously holding themselves up the wall with no grouting to speak of! seems the ants had a healthy, steady diet of grout before moving to my food!!!
Anyhow I digress, sorry, I haven't laughed so much in ages! OK so will steer clear of marketing skills used such as Spacious etc! I was thinking of a ball park figure around 350 to 4. I have decided to massage the budget elsewhere this time. i.e.: I can tell you right now 50 things to do with mince! won't need a maid (that's what children are for! haahaaa) only kidding!
So, do you think if the planets are aligned and a bit of luck I can find a place that might take me out of the world of grout eating ants and pink/gold bathrooms???!!!!! (she mutters quietly....please say yes, please say yes....)
Thanks girls have a great day.
Best, M
Hi Busybee!
Yes I'm afraid 1 yr back and aussie humour has taken a hold again along with my accent! oh dear! heeee That was one lovely thing I gained in Dxb, english mates who encouraged to enunciate!!!! can you hear my cackle?
Thank you for all the insight and giving me a steer. It seems that some things never really change hey! Well I shall start at the top of the list and make my way through calling them all. Much like I did 8 yrs ago. Hoohum. I know there is no such thing as the "best" school more like the best for each child and their needs. I guess if I keep an open mind it would have been much the same here in terms of different schools as my two are in single gender schools, not far from each other though so that is good in terms of the driving.
oohhh, I can see that housing will come after that once I see where I can place them. I guess it was that idea I had in my head that this time around perhaps, just maybe I could figure somethings out a little earlier! ha! Looks like I will be the greenhorn once again. Thankgoodness for you lot!
So, here is another question about housing, currently I have a lovely house with new bathrooms!!!!! ohhhh what a joy! I spent nearly a decade in old old villas in dxb so me and a bottle of bleach became fast friends. As I said in my last post...(fantasy land...) Is it possible to find housing that is modern (new bathrooms no mold and have matching tiles even?) a private pool ...Oh yes I got that too as we live not far from the gold coast so weather is fab. And what would be a general price range for rent? Yes at least I got to enjoy it for a while, sigh. As you know we go where the work is and work together as a family.....you know it would be nice this time if a few creature comforts were there! thanks a bunch for listening.
