Job Offer
The job offer from Dubai arrived yesterday, which we accepted immediately. Far too excited to do much else with the day so we went straight to Foyle's to buy up books on life in Dubai. Payday on Wednesday, so more books shall follow. Ironic (though entirely understandable) really that we are preparing by buying books as the major part of preparation wil involve getting rid of the many thousands of books that already fill our tiny flat to overflowing.It's always hard to sleep on the last night of the holiday; the change from holiday to workday routine is difficult to manage for the naturally nocturnal; but last night was even worse - a combination of excitement, extensive day time napping and a mouse behind the bedside table means I am knackered. Hard to understand the intricacies of the red tape involved in preparing for a move of this sort on two hours sleep, but there you go. We need, i the coming weeks, to get our educational certificates notarised (£60), travel to Milton Keynes (£40), have the certificated legalised by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (£135) then legalised by the United Arab Emirates Embassy (£100). Fun, fun, fun!
