I had the same problem! :) Right at the back of the Movenpick Tower, in the same tower as Spice Boat restaurant, is a good laundry place called Metro Laundry and Dry Cleaning.

I have seen Yasmin pills in a pharmacy just laying on a shelf next to tampons and did wonder what's the deal here - so no prescription required?

Oh now I wish there was something available in the West Bay! Unfortunately I have visited literally each tower and only serviced apartments have free flats. And those cost min 5000 QAR pcm more.

We spent many days researching shipping companies and the common theme is - don't hire a small, unknown firm. They are cheaper but there are many hidden costs and it's a bit of a lottery. We went with Sterling Relocation as they are used by many international banks and we felt we can trust them. We just moved so the shipment is still on it's way and I can not comment on the full service, but so far so good.

Oh sorry, I got confused - the tower 15B is not in QQ part of the Pearl but rather the Viva Bahriya (or even still Porto Arabia but it's overlooking the second marina). So it's one of those high towers, with outdoor pools and gyms (men and women separately). We viewed the apartment again yesterday and I am not loving it any more. It is a completely new building (not opened yet) and already there is mould! I don't know much about the issue but I guess it's not a good sign. And Ascott is in fact dark and after closer inspection you can see the tear and wear. This home searching really isn't easy here! :) Thea117 - you make QQ sound good. I will look into it!

No idea, but if you do end up running baking classes - let me know, I always wanted to learn! :)

Hi girls, Just to let you know there is a group of us that meet up every week for coffee and also a night out once a week. We are all in similar positions...no kids. Some work and some don't. All different ages and great group from Scotland and England. Some live at the Pearl and some near The Villagio. If any of you fancy meeting us...drop me a line. Helen :-) edited by Hlj6 on 15/06/2014 Hi everyone I arrived in Doha yesterday and would love to join you for one of your weekly catch ups if that's ok with you. :-) Hlj6, what's the best way to get in touch with you about this?
