Hi mum2girls. My initial thoughts were of suspicion too to be honest. My dh actually got an interview for her hubby when we first got wind of the news, but he refused it?! He told dh that he has been in Dubai for 7 years and had enough of the 'tension' in his job and being in Dubai. His intentions apparently are to go back and work in a garage? Not what he does here btw. The maid is a bit, actually a lot, dependent on him. She does nothing without him. She has never even gone as far as the local supermarket without him! I don't know if it's his decision to make her go aswell? I tried talking to her but she's saying she has to go as she can not be here alone. I explained lot's of ladies cope perfectly well and she has got her kids to consider now that their income will be gone. My plan was for her to work the months notice to pay back her loan. But now I realize that the flight should be covered by her then the loan is negated anyway. Her hubby seem's to have disappeared today as he was meant to meeting with my dh before his departure to sort out flights and payments. She is working as usual today (albeit her room is packed) and I asked her where he is she said he'll be back later? By luck and chance I have another maid ready to start soon so this will have to be sorted out before the end of the week. I'm hoping that he'll show up, pay for her flight then they can live happily ever after in their home country, with no 'tension'.... My common sense is telling me that we'll probably end up paying for the flight as well as losing the money. I'll have to learn from it I suppose. My granny always told me "don't lend money you can't afford to lose"...

Glad I'm not the only one! Don't know why I was 'afraid' to join before? Anyway, glad that I have now, because yes it is a great forum. Thanks for replying too, it's nice to be welcomed.
