Hi husband in Tripoli at moment working, family back home in a very wet Scotland.  We would like to relocate but not sure where child care and things sit.  I would like to work, Construction PM so likely to be longish hours.  We lived in Dubai before very easy as had a live in maid who took care of any unusual school run or shortfall in day care and indeed the house.  Having searched the forum it seems that a gate boy tends to be employed in Libya, can any of you working mums or dads please give me some feedback on schools/afterschool clubs/day care - how do you manage?  Little girl is six.  Many thanks

Welcome aboard fellow 'Auld Reekie' dweller, we have no kids but are friends with an Edinburgh lass that does have children, drop me a pm and my wife (LSscotland) and I are more than willing to help out any way we can. Oh aye granite city resident for 27 years, but still a Hibee through and through.

cheers, good to see many fellow scots out there!!! 
Have sent link to hubby, hopefully if you are up for it he could give you a bell and bend your ear (is that to broad, have you been away too long,lol)  Not sure what you mean by pm -I.T. speak?????

No problems at all, click on my username, and then you get the option to send a private message, stuff like mobile numbers etc are best kept off the main board. I will send you a PM and you or your hubby can get in contact if you like. Loads of Scots out here, a Scottish (mainly Aberdeen) 5 a side team are playing in a tournament this Friday (football in case you haven't guessed !!).

Cheers.
