How long is a typical housing contract?
Hi, Just a quick question from me for tonight - how long does a typical contract last? We are worried about signing a contract and things don't work out and we are left paying for a house we don't need or like. Thank you Kirsten Read More
Working out monthly costings by Mummywatson
Hi, I have read through a lot of the cost of living threads. Is it possible to just check the rough costs of the following please: I would want to hire a car for the cildren and myself, from what I have heard the driving is a tad scary in Bahrain ...

How many flights home does your company offer? by Mummywatson
Hi, Sorry if this is in the wrong group, I wasn't sure which one it fitted in best. My husband has been offered a job today, and has received a pretty good pay salary. He has been offered 1 return flight per year for our immediate family. I feel ...
Brilliant, thank you. We will need to get two cars, so when I am working out the cost of living I will need to add in a car for me to drive. From what I have heard about the driving out there I think I want a BIG car! Read More

Hi, Thank you so much for your reply. I definitely like the idea of the compound for the safety point of view. I am also quite scared about feeling isolated with two such young children so I do feel that the compound would mean there would always ... Read More
