5 grand for house deposit, 2 grand for DEWA deposit, 400 or 500 for deposit on gas bottles, about 100 for deposit on water bottles.
Money I won't see again:
4 grand on estate agent commission, about Dh450 on "installation" charges for phone, internet and TV.
Most embarrasingly - "more money than I will ever admit to anyone I know in the UK in Ikea"

And Ikea is NOT the place to make your house glam.
It would also be better if I hadn't mercilessly mocked anyone I knew who spent more than pocket change in Ikea in the UK.

Not a fan of IKEA myself..... picture frames and lamp shades are all they are good for aas far as I am concerned...... oh and the 100 tea light packs that are stashed in the kitchen cupboards incase we ever lose power.
