Thank you for your suggestions so far, they're really useful.
@ The truth: I was planning on bringing as little as possible anyway, but I wouldn't have thought about a Skype phone (thanks the truth).
@ charmed: Luckily, charmed, I don't have a dog; I did have a cat but I had to re-home her about two years ago when I went to France for a few months. And the length of time it takes to clear stuff is the other problem. Even if I did want to ship some practical household items, I would surely have bought some replacements by the time my own were shipped and cleared customs!
@ Squarepeg: Blankets -- that's an interesting point, squarepeg, I mostly have duvets and throws at home, but I might get some blankets. Do the a/c units work as heaters too? I recall that when I lived overseas before, the a/c units also worked as heaters, do they have similar units in Doha? I don't think I'll ship an electric fire but I'll probably bring my hot water bottle, thanks. And bugs? How big are these bugs? *shudders*
