Default Woo Hoo! Got the keys to my apartment.

Been over tonight to check out my new apartment and I must say I am very impressed. Nice quiet and secluded area, mosque is a bit loud but I'm sure it will just become part of the background noise soon enough.


They are pretty big, but then so are the 2 beds that are above them, they have a nice little roof patio area as well.

Just have to kit the thing out now, so if anyone knows any good furniture places that can deliver in less than 2 weeks (that is what Ikea are quoting) let me know.

Now all I need is my new car, fingers crossed I get it early next week.

Try Palace furniture near the port. They were fast at delivering mine and reasonably cheap as well.
So... when are you out and about for a beer or two?

I'm under strict instructions not to be too much until the OH gets here.

So for now I need a futon, a 50" LCD SOny, a cooker, and a Smeg fridge

if you go to luckies in sharjah you will find some amazing furniture, all the wooden stuff for next to nowt, but it takes 3 weeks - but it's well worth the wait.
