19th october

hi,everyone sorry i`ve not been online but by the time iv`e had the chance to check my e,mail it`s bed time because eveyone wants to use the computer lol . anyway we went to Dubai and saw the Burg Al Arab the hotel that looks like a sail, it was very unusual but not so impressive as i thought it would be!!! the beach there was lovely and me, my sister & mum went to paddle our feet the water was like a bath.! we then went to the Atlantis Hotel to have lunch it was on the Palm!!!! we were out on the top bit and we had to go through a tunnel underwater to get to the hotel they had a fantastic aquarium there & we spent a couple hours looking around it .we`ve been to 3 malls already and there are many more to see oh the hardship !!!lol.the shops here are so varied and you can get such variety.so much so i can`t take it all in .i want to buy so many things .you all would love it....tomorrow were meeting jeanne`s friend at the marina then going to the tailor, to have our cloth we bought made into dressess.then on to another Mall to get a watch for Juanita.yesterday we went to the family home and met some of Abduls sisters and their children there were loads of different ones i could`nt remember all their names, but they were very friendly to us.Abdul`s stepmum was lovely.of course my hair was the topic of conversation because i`m so pale compared to everyone else i could feel all eyes on me lol.it was lovely to see a 100%arabic family and how they live .

I have always wanted to go to the Palms it sounds utterly fabulous. Sounds like you have been doing a lot of shopping! I hope your dresses will be nice. Tell everyone I say hi, give Nan a huge huge hug. I miss you guys! xxx

Don't think that your landlord has been over to do the fire yet by the way, things look the same. Sam has flu but he is ok. Katie is fine as is Saleh. Kev, Lisa and the kids are ok, Georgia was really happy that you text her for her birthday (Kev was pleased too) Tom has had a haircut, quite short actually about to his ears not sure if you saw it before you left and that's all I can think of that I wanted to tell you for now. xx
