just heard we have to move out of our villa...as the brother of the owner is going to move into it, yeah yeah yeah...

anyway, I will be househunting as of today, but just in case anybody hears or sees anything in Mirdif (so not in Mizhar or Al Warqa), it needs to be an independent villa, 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, large outside area and a pool.

I am actually quite excited, lol...

So, you are remaining in Mirdif?

MataHari

yes, if possible...the kids school is here, all their friends live in this area, and for my son it's easy access to the desert with his quadbike, mr MH works just across the Business Bay brigde...and like I've said before, the planes have never bothered us, been here 5 years now and I'd really hate to move to another area...

Good luck in finding somewhere suitable quickly. Traipsing around a load of horrid overpriced places is no fun.

oh I know...it won't be easy to find a place, most are compounds, it will be hard to find a villa...am having a look the various websites now...why oh why do all those houses have such horrid horrid lighting fixtures...and what's with the wrought iron bannisters...and those dark 'wood' kitchens...arrgghhhhhhh

shiva

I know, but they are mostely on compounds, which just isn't what I want...I like my privacy when I am sitting outside, hate the whole open space around a pool thing, and with the cars and the quadbikes, the massive trailer, we need a fair bit amount of outside space.
The bigger independent villas don't come on the market that often.

MataHari

lol...that's on my list...trying to call the number now

although I have to say, I quite fancy this one...

I am having flashbacks!

I was just amazed at some of the places we saw. They must have been designed by blind morons.

My friend tells a story of viewing a place a few years ago where each bathroom had an animal theme with the loos in the shape of the animals head and tiles to match.

MataHari

tell me about it...everything 'themed' is a big no no in my book, lol...
the kitchens are just the worst ever, dark country style fronts, beige tiles with motives...who in gods name thinks this is ok...what's wrong with just plain white...

MataHari

oh sorry madame...it just went yesterday

TGFKASE

Course it did.. They have others to show you???

MataHari

lol...they will get back to me
