Thanks mimi37. I feel more chilled about the whole idea. Its nice to hear from someone that has recently moved to Qatar from the UK. I have lived in a few countries and sometimes it is hard to settle, usually when there is not a British/english speaking community around. The main concern is to make the children happy. I have a girl aged 6 and a boy aged 4. They have moved alot in thier young lives and to be able to settle somewhere for 3 years plus would be great for us.
Coming out for the weekend would be a very good idea, but with the time constraints I really don't thik that is is going to be physically possible.
Driving was the one thing that bothered me most. I am fully aware of the standard, or should i say lack of standard of driving, as i used to drive everywhere in Oman, but being older and wiser now the driving is going to scare me.
Oh well, time to take a deep breath and forget the negatives. Thanks once again for your response, means alot. Take care.
