salam NG,

ok i am here, i was sooooooooo busy with my 4 brats and husband lately that i haven't had time to do anything. plus ramadan started, so i am trying to focus on reading the Quran more.

But thanks for thinking of me.......i am here, i am still alive, but still not liking egypt...hehhehe. I need out of here fast!!

anyone want to escape with me and fly off to paris?????????

anyways brats are calling me........i better go before they destroy the whole house.

take care

Hi NG,

Also still here.... a bit quiet on my side lately as I am stuck again in one the fase that I am fed up and thinking about leaving. So, Jujey Paris sounds lovely right now.

It is very difficult dealing with Egyptians when it comes to business and now its even worse since its Ramadan. They agree on things and don't deliver...ohhh yes if they are 3 weeks late with delivering stuff....its always "No problem.....don't worry" Well I am worried as business needs to go on...

Now waiting again on some contracts that we were suposed to recieve within 4 days which was Satureday and ofcourse until now nothing.....

Well thats what is keeping me busy at the moment and I hope this mood of me wanting to leave will change soon..........

Hello both,

Jujey, love how you call your kids brats bless ‘em, got some kids in my house and I got told off on a forum for saying the word ‘brat’s’

Well done for reading Quran more, I stripped of my nail varnish last night so that when I go home from boring work I can read some. Miss my hot pink nails though lol.

Undutchable, so sorry to hear that you’re having difficulties with the locals in terms of business etc.

Both, I am fully aware of this not following through on arrangements malarkey, 4 weeks on and my kitchen is an empty shell, two units have been part built and are just sitting there. Still got no sink or washing machine so having to hand wash everything, what fun

And these guys said that they would be done BEFORE start of Ramadan so that letting you down mentality is not an Egyptian monopoly at all.

At least theres not buckets of rain where you are be grateful for small mercies

Chin up ladies, thinking of you, hope things improve soon and get in touch if you need a moan xxxx

Oh Jujey, forgot to ask, have you met HL yet?

:tu: NG i should be ok again in a week or so.......Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hopefully, you will, just take deep breaths!

We’ll have some more ladies moving to Hurghada soon, met them on another forum and have directed them here so keep your eyes peeled.

Hopefully there will be a good group of us to go out :d2: etc Undutchable!

salam,

undutchable.......don't get me started on egyptians....hehehhehe. i will never stop!
what kind of business do u have? is it worth opening up a business here? i am trying my hardest to convince my husband not to waste his money in this country, but does anyone listen to wise old jujey? nooooooooope!!
run away with me now, i will meet u at the airport!!

NG - someone got u introuble b/c u used the word brats...hhahahhahaha give me a break!! hope ur kitchen gets done fast.

Jujey and Undutchable, don’t you two be eloping now, between your brats and your business, people will be hunting you two down

Oh tell me about it, I love this forum as its so chilled but some of the others

NG & Jujey,

All is ok since this morning.....went to blow of some steam in the Marina yesterday and decided to forget about the business. I know I will be :mad2: again in a few days but we will deal with it then.

Jujey we have the tennis school here in Hurghada. Most of the time its fun but dealing with the Egyptians in business sucks all the energy out of you.......so I might meet you at the airport real sooonnnn. A business in Egypt can work but you need to have a really really tick skin and a lot of patience.....which I don't have

NG - Is your kitchen done.... or should I come and shout at them for you.........

undutchable,

tennis club, sounds great!! i should bring my brats over for some lessons. do u teach 8 and 7 year olds?? how about 3 year old, heck why don't u just take all my kids for a couple of hours each day, so i can go to the marina and blow off some steam, and get a pedicure and manicure...etc. hahhaha.

business in egypt.........my husband is egyptian and has thick thick skin, so i am sure he can handle it, but i don't think i can't last 1 second more with the mentality of the ppl here....hehhehehhe

ok my brat is biting my head now......really i gotta log off this internet, i can't type or concentrate, and i am trying so hard to do so..hehhehe

k take care

I keep getting logged out and my posts are dissapearing HELP ME MR KEEFY!!!!!

Girls, I wrote this big long post last night, God knows where its gone…

Anyway, is the kitchen done? I wish! It better get done asap or I will be spending Eid in the slammer…anyone got bail money??

Jujey,

We teach starting from 5 years so the 7 and 8 year old definately can join. We start courses again after Ramadan but we will have registration day soon. Will keep you informed and you can come and check it out. We love to help out but don't think I could handle them.......My husband is the one who does the teaching.... don't have the patience for that....

Good luck if you go ahead with the business...sure you husband will manage since he is Egytpian. You just have to keep it

Is the tennis club pro Lucard Williams?

Yes he is.....Williams Tennis Service........tell me HL have you played with us yet...

So sorry to hear about the hassels with your kitchen is still not finished.....Don't worry I'll bail you out.... if it gets that far........hang in there....

Thanks hun, had a right weekend. Dad decided to paint the lounge the day we had 2 birthdays in the house, so been scrubbing paint off things after he did his bit. Still no washing machine so a morning of hand washing was inevitable as well as the usual family politics and then back to work to what I can only describe as bullying.

Just a f’i*g great few days I am having

NG Sorry your having such a bad day ~ Tomorrow will be better!

I cant wait for the day to finish & go home ~ Long weekdns are great but so much to do when you get back to work!
