Poshy

Just go with it and click every button to see what it does, these forums are easy once you get used to them,
if you get anything wrong we can all point and laugh at you then
you learn from your mistakes...*shrug* dont worry

We've been here for ever. You think we know?

Welcome! Apart from that, all I know is jump in and enjoy.

OK, maybe this might help: Its the same as those rules you get taught in kindergarten (which are, basically, all you need to know in life--the rest is just refinement of the basic principles):

• Share everything.
• Play fair.
• Don't hit people.
• Put things back where you found them.
• Clean up your own mess.
• Don't take things that aren't yours.
• Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
• Wash your hands before you eat.
• Flush.
• Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
• Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
• Take a nap every afternoon.
• When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
• Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
• Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
• And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.

Here you go Dagryn. lol Oh I am a comic genius

(thats me shedding some light btw)

Anyway welcome, basically the more you give the more you get back, be open, make banter and give as good as you get it the general rule. AND start the odd fight every now and again as thats entertaining :-) If you can't think of anything deep and meaningful to say then just write bollox- but try and make it funny

And don't run away if someone is mean! stand up for yourself- its mostly said in jest! and laugh at my jokes.... and post pictures of hot men in pants every so often

i see kitty is throwing hints for tight pants lol, you go girl

Bahtatboy! Do you hum in the same tune as your fridge?

(i hum in the same tone as an RB211 - noisy, polluting and prone to the odd unexplained explosion!)

Umm, sorry-if you haven't read the books, then this is all wobblers.....

Hi all,

This is my first time on any forum so go easy on me My hubby has just been offered a job in Abu Dhabi and we are looking at moving with our 4 children (17, 14, 9 & 6) & maybe our dog (a labradoodle) in the next few months.

Since we found out last Thursday I am in a complete panic about the usual things house, schools, car, where to live, eat, shop just the usual things I am sure.

I am looking forward to searching the forum for answers but any help & advice would greatly accepted.

Thank you all in anticipation

Hi and welcome SSbots,

Theres lots of helpful stuff on here- the search button is fab. Is your eldest male or female? as if it is male you may have a problem with the sposorship when he turns 18- I believe femaels are fien to be sponsored by the family past 18- I am sure some of thsoe with kids on here can advise you.

AD is expensive so I hope your hubby has a good deal sorted.

You can always let him come out here, find his feet and get everything sorted and you and family follow later once he knows the job is everything it promises to be- you don't want to uphaul your entire brood if you get here and find out the job isn't secure or not quite what you were expecting.

Anyway best of luck and ask any questions you need- you may get some ridiculous answers but you may also get some helpful ones.

If the eldest is male, then sponsorship will be fine so long as he is in full-time education
