So tell us a little about yourself...

Well, its a long story containing 37 years of ups and downs but the shortened version is...... :rofl:

Sorry, just playing! I'm 37 (as stated above), come from a military/defence background. A mother of 3 grown ups, Granny of 1. Have lived in Spain for the past 4 and a half years and now moving to Dubai. Would rather not reveal too much about my new employment on a public forum but will say I've been appointed as a Sales & Marketing Manager. My job will involve lots of travel around the world but my main base will be Dubai.

Spare time activities include reading, travelling, chilling with friends (and making new ones!) Hoping to make a complete life change in Dubai - more outdoor type activities and of course, more travel! I'm also very interested in Middle Eastern politics, culture and have started learning (badly!) Arabic (I speak basic conversational Spanish too.)

Thats about it! :D

So have you sorted out your accommodation, bank...etc etc?...

Let me know if you need any help on the banking front - send me a PM (i.e. Personal Message)

OK am off now - have to entertain my 5 yo!

Later...

Thanks, Anya. I cannot send PM's for 24 hours (WHY?????)

I have accomodation and car sorted out - my assistant has been working on this since my trip over last week. As for a bank account, I've been looking at various and will decide which one is best for me when I arrive in Dubai. In the meantime, I have my Spanish account to use whilst I'm settling in.

How can I contact you before the 24 hour rule has expired? :huh:

Have fun with your little 'un - I recall those days all too well!! :eek:

J :)

It's an anti spam feature, can't send them till you've made three posts either, which you've done :)
