A few highlights to get you up to speed.

The LE is rubbish at the moment. When ex - pats 1st came they were slightly rolling in it. Now? Its budget city seeing as the LE can go as low as 7.95 to the sterling when it was topping 11.42!!

We celebrated the two Eids in style this year. I had a ball gown for the Eid and Sadie had a lovely tea dress. The second Eid was Sadies turn to be a princess with two ballgowns!

We also went to Alexandria for a few days and stayed in a villa with a pool. The water was freezing but I was determined to have a swim and spent an hour in it.

Which is probably what led to me being really ill for the next two weeks with what seriously felt like real flu.

School started back in September with a fresh lot of children as well as some old faces.

We went to England in the summer to see the fam which was nice but the attitudes of non Muslims towards lil 'ol me was horrendous!! Not too keen on going back anytime soon!!

Ok what else? Oh!

Started my business! Trinketsity and I'm also on Etsy and see here for my blog.

Sadie is getting on much better at school especiallyy with her Arabic and Quran although she will tell you to yur face I hate Arabic.

I finally learned the alphabet aaaand I can now read albeit super slow. It's so much fun reading every little bit of Arabic I come across!

Ok now for a few pics and I promise I'll keep this thing up to date!
