We need to make a call on a possible job offer there in next 2 weeks. Any info will be very helpful.

Thanks!

Yes I am here, happy to help. It's probably best to PM me.

Also here - but TMAM has been here much longer than me and is my font of all knowledge even after 9 months in country (DS would not actually be having a birthday party this weekend if TMAM hadn't basically told me how to organise the whole thing!) But happy to help if I can. We love it here.

Shouldn't you be, you know, baking birthday cakes and stuff given that it is a public holiday and not be on MN?

We also love it here.

Gulp. Yes. Although party bags are now sorted thanks to your fantastic idea about books. DH called you supermum...

Tell him I'm good on parties, hopeless on geography history maths homework.

Ah, that's why our Nairobi office is shut!

Thanks - will PM you both if that's OK!

Yes do PM us both, we can offer different perspectives.

Just did :)

Thanks again. Getting an insider's perspective is so important. I'm persuaded by what I've read but dh is not convinced (fair enough - it'd be a promotion for me and he'd be giving up a lot)
