IXNAT, not all of us have wives who sit in Jumeirah sipping margharitas all day, ours actually work for a living. So yes some of us do need full time nannies. Back in Oz the kids would be in full time day care. Here they can stay in our home and be with a wonderful lady that we know and trust, for less than half the money I would pay for day care in Oz. I know which one I would prefer.
Gotta agree with Oblaaspop about shopping at Carrefour instead of Spinneys. You will literally cut your shopping bill by 30-40%. But I can't agree on the golf membership as I am looking at the membership cost at the sheraton golf club here in Abu Dhabi and it will cost me 12,000 dh's. Still trying to talk my wife into that one. So far....
