I am sadly leaving for Dubai later today (if my ticket turns up...) to take on a new role with my company looking after the northern emirates & oman, so that includes sharjah, ajman, umm al quain, ras al khaimah & fujeirah.
The role was offered to me a few months ago & I was so torn as whether to accept it or not having lived for a few years in dubai, i have really enjoyed qatar, well doha to be exact after the constant rush that dubai is.
When i first arrived here 6 months ago i knew that to settle properly, making friends would be most important for me, i love to socialise & make friends!
i'm fortunate to have many friends in dubai & elsewhere, my true friends know that i really do love people, love interacting & love having a laugh but also have a serious side....somewhere!! lol
QL & QLSG have been fantastic in this respect, sure one can't expect to be friends with everyone & agree with all at all times & inevitably some won't appreciate who i really am, maybe that's their loss not mine.
over this 6 month period i've gone from a married to a divorced status & had i not made the friends here that i have, then this would have been a very dark & depressing time for me, however YOU guys have made it a fun & light-hearted time & i thank you all!
i fly back to the uk later this month for my sons 18th, that will be very special as i miss him so much.
the friends i've spent most time with know who they are, they have understood & appreciated me as i have them, i'm truly thankful for their frienship & will continue to treasure them into the future, wherever they or i may be.
whenever my colleague here is away i will be in doha to cover, so will be around from time to time. there are friends here i want to see & will inevitably fly over for that purpose.
some of you will get to see me in a few weeks time when i will be out here with my mum.
funnily enough i could talk & talk about my experiences here, but will save those memories for my future memoirs!!
Mis-cat, thanks for putting this thread up & thank you all for your kind comments.
