thanks alliecat, its good to know im not the only one who really really really thinks things through before committing - i think thats a contributing factor to why you managed to survive out here for so long - would you agree?


ive been on here almost 8months, job hunting for about two months before that, so im on 10month before moving.

As the Arabs say: patience is beautiful- assabru jameel! But I think I need sedatives to help me gain some.

I'm sure it will be a blast 😎

Once you get into the 'groove' in Saudi Arabia (the groove being, don't rush or work too hard and certainly don't expect anybody else to lol), you'll be fine!

Btwn-Fear-N-Hope

^^ I'll remember that. Relax and don't expect anything to be done on time- so I guess the lift from the airport will be late so I should exchange British pounds for Saudi and make my own way, I'm in the groove already

No I haven't seen Citizen khan, I saw an advert but only thing I watch on telly telly is eastenders lol


Sayid is bankrupting his family AGAIN. This time it's tanwars business that he is messing with to pay his own debts. Kay got confronted by Alfie about her cheating- she admitted she has but hasn't revealed with who. They left to work on their marriage and in their absence phil has moved back into the pub and will kick them out. Sharon is back her and jack are flirtatious.

The Jenine story was the best, Michael knocked her parenting and so she decided to leave her daughter and Michael- she ran out on them ad to make Michael suffer she has frozen her money so he can't get to any of it, not even from the businesses. Michael isn't coping with the baby. The day she drove off, you had him holding the baby and he said I love you but it was almost a whisper like shock had over taken him. 

Can't think of who else to mention--- aww jay is still getting flack for covering bens murder

EastLondon

citizen khan is meant to be a comedy but heard about it...
last time I watched eastenders was the one when ppl thought that Mo was crazy and made up someone stole some money from the pub?
btw i was in London for two weeks just arrived last week....

Btwn-Fear-N-Hope

You do know you can rea eastenders spoilers online - or are they banned in Saudi?

EastLondon

funny enough on our compound tv - we have BBC entertainment - but they show eastenders around 12.30am. but its better getting an update from you lol
