Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Daisy and Oliver enjoying a paddle. It's a bit grainy and was a few weeks ago. We've been very slack on the photo front.

Andy has a job! Six weeks and five days after arriving here, he's signed on the dotted line and we can begin to start our new lives in Dubai. The bizarre thing is, after all the stress and worry and countless applications and interviews on Andy's part, it's a job that he first interviewed for via telephone when we were still in London. In November. An interview which took place by the Thames in Richmond whilst having lunch with Lydia and Neil.

He is the new Finance Director for Arab Media Group. They own radio stations and newspapers and are about to launch MTV Arabia. How exciting, I love MTV! He starts Wednesday, now it's all happening, it's happening really quickly. He's all a bit nervous about it but Daisy and I are very proud of him and know he'll do a great job.

I'm so pleased we can now begin to get things sorted here. It's been incredibly frustrating to be living in a place that we can see is a fantastic place to live but to not be able to get on with our lives and really settle here.

So, next up, finding a villa to rent, cars to buy, and the best bit, getting all our stuff shipped from London. The day I read 'Oh The Places You'll Go' to Daisy then put her to bed in her own cot will be a very happy day indeed.
