Forum Newbie in Dubai
Hi All,
I have lived in Dubai for the past six years so used to the sandpit but not used to the forum idea!
I am now getting used to how it all works.... I think
so apologies for the late intro 
In my spare time I like to relax and sleep, trying to make a living is hard, even in the easiest times

Hi nikkisizer & a warm welcome to BE! No need to apologize ... there's so much to take in here that it's understandable that you'd take a while to get used to navigating the site. Before long, you'll be giving tips to others new to the forums.
