Update - land bought

I can finally post that we eventually have gone ahead and bought some land. It cost us 300,000 egyptian pounds (about 29,000 UK pounds) and is large enough to build a good sized building on with a garden at the back. We had planned to build on it for ourselves, but another opportunity has arisen, so its on the backburner at the mo ............ will post on that other subject depending on what happens over the next few days. Interestingly, we have already had an offer of 350,000 egyptian pounds for our land!!! We have declined for now, but it at least makes me feel reasonably comfortable that its a good investment.
Should have some news on the potato investment in the next few weeks, certainly when I last spoken to our cousin on the subject, the price of potatos had risen sufficiently to cover our investment costs etc, so God willing the price has continued to rise and we will have made a healthy profit.
Noor had his first b'day party earlier this month - he didn't understand of course what was going on but he enjoyed the atmosphere, the company of all the other children and the fuss - though it was all too much for him in a way as later that night after I gave him his bottle before bedtime, he brought up a good amount of the cake he had eaten!!! Oh well.............
Well that's all for now folks. hope to be able to post again soon.
Take care all .................................
