Wow, ok so I have been away for a very long long time.. Kept busy with a new baby, obsessive gym routine and frolicking with my friends in my spare time, but I am back on the scene and ready to start keeping people up to date with whats going on in Kuwait, new openings, good beaches, family fun and what I am up to day to day :) Sooooo much has happened in Kuwait over the past 2 years. I think it's alot easier for expats to live here now. There's alot more to do, new places to see and [View Full Entry]

I was physically wiggle woggled out of my bed. I looked over to see my hubby snoring sweetly and baby didnt stir. Im standing by the bed with my [View Full Entry]

FUN LAND !! There are very few play areas for children that are indoor, so when I come across one I like to share it's information. Fun Land is an indoor childrens play area which consists of a large climbing sliding soft play area, arcade type games, and some small scale fair rides. Its very very cheap at fun land. All rides are 250 fils (except soft play area/ climbing frames, this is 1kd per child but they get to stay in as long as they like and go in and out for drinks etc). You purchase a plastic swipe card [View Full Entry]

Just had to rave about this place This week myself and a group of friends decided to go some where different for our breakfast outing (we try to go as often as possible using the excuse that we are researching eateries in kuwait hehe). This week we decided to try a Lebanese restaurant we had seen close to a place called Fresh where my friends have eaten before. The food, service and surroundings were so good, I rushed back here to tell you all about it. Anyone who is alredy in Kuwait MUST go and try this place out. Its [View Full Entry]

Do I feel Guilty Hi everyone again.. Thank you so much for coming back.. Ok here is the score. Back home in blighty I would spend my mornings getting Laila up dressed fed and ready for school, while rugby tackling my toddler into his half decent clothes and rolling the pair of them out the door and into the car (porridge oats in hair, toast up nose and looking like they had been dragged through a hedge backwards) all leaving myself 10 minutes to drive 20 minutes away to the school to post Laila safely through the gate before the bell [View Full Entry]

Where have I been Hello everyone. Firstly I really have to apologise for not updating this blog for such a long time and not checking in to see if it was being read. It all started as a way of me keeping friends up to date and I never thought so many people would find it and read it, and wow.. so many people have found it interesting.. So here goes. I will now promise to keep updating hopefully at least once a month or more as the longer I'm in Kuwait the more I learn and the easier life [View Full Entry]

Hello all, and thank you for coming back yet again. I haven't updated my diary for nearly a month now as it has been incredibly hot and I have been hiding away inside the house where the air conditioning keeps me from cooking internally and turning into a blistered lobster. They record the temperature in the shade and today it was 47c... so I guess in the sun that would be hitting around 52c and it feels it too. The hot air dries your throat, blisters your lips and dries your eye balls so they feel like ping pong balls that [View Full Entry]

Hello to all, Well the heading speaks for its self really... hehehhee I think this statement is a great rule to live by. When in rome do as the roman's do... So that's exactly what I have done. nearly 90% of Kuwaiti's have a maid (or two) and a driver to boot if ones needed. Maybe a nanny also to help with the children but many maids do that. Envy was not the word. Every day I would see the maids washing cars, doing laundry, ironing (my most hated thing in life I think), food shopping, mopping..... you name it they [View Full Entry]

Well, we have been here for a few weeks now and I think we are adapting well. We seem to be finding most of what we need to get this place fixed up, and making a few mistakes along the way which is all part of the learning process. (You can laugh about my mistakes in a bit). OK so most of what we have done over the past 6 weeks is trail shops and follow advice from people we have met on which shops we should go to, which ones to avoid, wheres the cheapest, who's the trendiest. WOW... Im [View Full Entry]
