We are still alive!

OK, so there hasn't been a post to this blog for two weeks. Give us a break! We are setting up home over here...!!!

Thanks to everyone for the emails wanting to know why we have stopped posting. However, rest assured from now forward you will see action. Blog action that is.

With Quyen now having been here for two weeks and is enjoying the start of a life in Dubai. THe last two weeks have been hectic with most nights being spent searching for furniture and electrical to setup everything in the home from shower curtains and toilet roll holders through to an oven and a bed! It's a good thing that the shops here trade from 10AM to 10PM, 7 days a week.

Last Friday we spent 10 hours in Ikea. That was just nuts. Nuts I tell you, nuts. 10 hours.

I had already organised a bed, bedside tables and a dresser from a place for Quyen's arrival, so that was sorted. At Ikea we purchased window coverings, a lounge, TV unit, computer desk, chair, two wardrobes, bits and pieces and a few other things.

This place was literally a shell when we moved in, so we even had to get our own bathroom vanity cabinet...

The electrical items were gathered from 5 different locations. We have a fridge, an oven (one of those wide ones to fill the big space - check out the pics - stay tuned), TV, surround sound system (of course), microwave, printer and a washer.

We are both pretty proud of ourselves to have organised so much in so little time.

It was all capped off with the installation of Showtime. We didn't think we would ever have a need for PayTV. With the options being Arabic or Arabic plus one English channel, we thought it best for our own sanity to have Showtime installed.

The shitter is that it doesn't include any cricket coverage Fox is an extra charge each month. We will organise that very soon. VERY soon...who's benefit could that be for?
