- World Book Day number eleventy-million 2 years ago Hi all. Remember me? (waves madly). I know, I know. I’ve been absent for a while. But there was something about World Book Day that made me want to put fingers to keyboard. Maybe it was all those pictures on my social media feeds of mums with littluns dressed up as Thing 1 and Thing […]
- COVID-19 Distance-learning: Day 12 4 years ago I haven’t written anything new because it’s all a bit Groundhog Day around here these days.

But today I feel like I won the Golden Ticket in Willy Wonkerland: I’ve got a government permit to go to...
- COVID-19 Distance-learning: Day 6 4 years ago I suppose it was inevitable. There was always going to be a bad day – and today was it. DS and I got through last week powered by the novelty of home-schooling, the joy of technologies newly discovered, the exhilarating freedom of video-chats and the excitement of swimming in our own pool after...
- COVID-19 Distance-learning: Day 4 4 years ago DS has discovered Zoom. I’ve no idea what witchery this is and prefer to keep it that way, but Zoom appears to mean that my boy can fill his iPad screen with the happy little faces of his classmates and chat with them about all the things that fill their 11-year-old boots with joy.

- COVID-19 Distance-learning: Day 2 4 years ago There was a certain calmness in the household today. DH was in charge of the morning alarm and, as I slapped him awake at 7.50am thinking we’d overslept by a couple of hours, he admitted he’d only set it for 8.00! Eight o’clock! Honestly, I can remember when we last woke at 8am on a […]

Absolutely my most favourite blog in Dubai and a must read. She's funny, creative and a superb blogger. Keeps me and a few of us in Dubai and around entertained.

Only Dubai Desperate Housewife can make the most trivial yet topical subjects a joy to read with bundles of wit thrown in. I always look forward to her posts.

Love this blog always puts a smile on my face, even since moving back to the UK it reminds me of all the 'Dubainess' I miss so much. Keep it up!

Always spot on in terms of Dubai and its quirks. Annabel manages the perfect measure of humour. Love her writing!

A brilliant blog! She feels like a friend who just knows! Sometimes I feel she has a secret camera watching me! It is always so spot on and so well written.

Although I have never been to Dubai, she captures the essence of what it is to be an expat! But what I love best about her blog is her honest and witty humour about parenting! Absolutely bloody brilliant! She delivers everytime!
