DH has just had 2nd interview re a position in AD. We live in London, were not looking to move, but he was approached and now it's looking very likely! Before DH decides, the company will fly whole family out to see the place, see schools etc.
Have done a 'search' on AD, and 2008/09 threads talk about the huge demand for schools. My eldest 2 kids are nearly 7 and nearly 9 and very happy in their oversubscribed London primary, so I am a bit worried that we'll take them out, and then I'll have to home school them in AD as there are no school places! (Only half joking...)
Anyone out there who can give me a bit of the lie of the land before we take this any further? And what's it like out there? I am an expat brat myself (grew up in NL and Taiwan, and spent couple years in Japan in my 20s), but have lived in London for 14 years, and having had 3 children here, am shocked to find that I appear to have put down roots... Is it worth uprooting? :o)
Thank you!
