My husband has a new job not a transfer and the it is not a contract but a permanant possition. We were planing on a leas five years is we like it and I don't want to move the kids around too much. I have a very nice bedroom suite but I am not really attached to much else. I have bought my kids rather expensive mattresses as we have them bunk in together when we have relitive stay from Greece and they use the other one. I was thinking the more we brought from home the less we would have to spend and also it would make the kids more comfortabel haveing familiar things around them. I haven't see too many pictures of the furniture in the furnished homes but what I have seen is not my taste at all. If I am going to be a stay at home mom, I would think it would be important to like your home! Will the adapters work with all are small appliances or just with the t.v. What about my son's play station 2? I would love to bring the dog, but she is half border collie and have golden retriver and gets a very heavy coat in the winter. I think she would not do well in the heat. We will also be going to Greece every summer so it will be alot of travelling for her. She is going on eleven and I don't know if she will handle it well. We were thinking of leave her in Greece on the farm with my inlaws. We will be there for two months before we go to Qatar.
