By the way Beebee did Ceecee sort out the licence prob?

Thanks AnnaCarna, my monthly spend table is in pretty good shape now, the only thing missing was the fuel estimate. Although I know it's not accurate, I've gone for the highest estimate in each case to ensure I don't get any very nasty surprises when I arrive. Fortunately, kids are a good few years away, so I just have to take care of me!

Does anybody know what the inflation rate in Dubai is? Do you notice goods increasing in price on a monthly basis?
