Hi,
me and my daughter will be arriving end of August from the UK and I wanted a few questions answering...thank you!

1. What is the cheapest type of car to hire?
2. Where is the best place for brunch with a child? nr MOE
3. I would like to buy a 4x4 a few years old, I would need finance would it be better to get a loan from the bank then the actual dealer? Or do you think there is a better type of car for safety reasons?

aww so many things to consider! :curse:

Hi .. welcome!

1. Two of my colleagues hired cars recently and the cheapest was 1700dhs per month - this was for a Mitsubishi Lancer
2. Only do champagne brunches when I do a brunch ... how old is the kid ... lots will know where to go
3. I believe it is slightly cheaper to get the loan with the bank but i guess until you have a job etc you would struggle to get a car loan. Most women feel safer in a 4x4 when they first get here. But maybe hire a car and see how you find the driving.

welcome!! you bringing a husband with you?? we aint prying but these are things we need to know. do you know where you will be living??? I am near MOE. I do brunches at the country club and seeing as I am tee total they don't involve champagne unlike that Miss E

Miss Eck

But if it was free flowing vodka you would be there in a shot!!

Now I did want to ask about the hubby .. but did not want to pry

PuRe

thanks very much for the info so far.

no husband, my daughter is 10 and I have a job and should be staying nr MOE.

I dont mind a champagne brunch but I dont think its the done thing with a child...

you'll soon forget those ideas once you've met this lot

I've got a 10yr old and often take her for brunch as long as there is other kids there too - a few of the places have entertainment for them. Other than that 10 is a difficult age as I'm sure you already know, not into the kids stuff but too old for totally adult conversation. What school is she going to?

Blue Cat

the single parent thing out here is a bit dodgy. In order to sponsor your daughter you will need permission from her Father. Even then it may not go smoothly. Have you got a school sorted out. I suspect you may be a teacher, am I right??? If I am call me Syptic Peg

PuRe

awww, if only I was single that would be an adventure...

Miss Eck

exactly .. ya just lock it in a room and off ya go!!

Blue Cat

so you got a nice young man!! great news!! but this is a muslim country and I would hate to give you the wrong advice, although I lived with my husband for years before we got married but then my Dad was my sponsor

Fairydust

you been spying on me again

Blue Cat

it is a pyschological thing, I can't drink when it is light

PuRe

GA - EW your so correct...

The school thing is sorted and I have spoken to Dad.

Miss Eck

oops ... sorry, I thought everyone knew
