Must try harder...I strive to talk absolutely no sense

But seriously we have been here a while now and it does have its ups and downs. My daughter is 18M and has a great life here. We swim almost every single evening and she is always out and about with Mum.

Granted its hot in summer, but there are other things to do..

Saying that lol, my wife and daughter head home soon till Aug.that is also so my parents can spend lovely times with junior..

Its either for you or its not..period

Hi,

Can you get UK/European branded food in Abu Dhabi? is food expensive? How much weekly for a family of 4?

Do any of you have personal experience of the nurseries in Abu Dhabi? Do they meet the standards of nurseries in the UK? I have read that nurseries only provide care from the age of 14 months - is this right?

Off Island would suit us ( I think) as it's where my husband would be working. Any idea of the timescale for the waiting list for The British School?

Is Sas Al Nakhl far from a big supermarket and the Corniche?

Thanks
