As I said, the main thing is that our deposit is safe for another day.

cheers,

Its now in dry dock being mended. They say the best days of a boat owners life are the day he bought it and the day he sold it - i didnt even get to enjoy the day of purchase. - thankfully its not too serious but would have been if it hadnt been spotted.

Why dont you consider a Phase 5 white villa. I think there are a couple for sale. My villa is in the same phase and I love the quiet location and mountain views. Probably be better value than Hill villas also.

All the best

We have also just returned having viewed our accommodation which is Oasis resort on road inbetween hurghada and el gouna. Very impressed and cant wait for it to be finished. hopefully we will all be able to meet up sometime in the future and exchange stories etc. Good luck as well !

It can be very hard for a 15 year old to start again in a new country - I was lucky in that my son was 11 when we moved from the UK and he settled in very quickly. He is now 15 and taking his GCSEs next year but though the schools here in Bahrain are excellent, he wants to go back to the UK to take his A levels. I told you that I have a friend who works in El Gouna school - she teaches Biology - and her son is almost 15 too. She's been very pleased with the education that he's received there but she will also return to the UK so that he can take his A levels. Is your son in year 10? If so, is it not possible for you to wait until he finishes year 11? I think it would be extremely hard for him to transfer in the middle of GCSEs - I doubt that he would be able to take the same subjects as he's taking now.

After you've made a few more posts on the forum you will then be able to use the private messaging system and I will ask my friend if I can give you her phone number so that you can talk to her inshaAllah.

Best wishes
Linda
