Welcome aboard fellow 'Auld Reekie' dweller, we have no kids but are friends with an Edinburgh lass that does have children, drop me a pm and my wife (LSscotland) and I are more than willing to help out any way we can. Oh aye granite city resident for 27 years, but still a Hibee through and through.

Have sent link to hubby, hopefully if you are up for it he could give you a bell and bend your ear (is that to broad, have you been away too long,lol)Ìý Not sure what you mean by pm -I.T. speak?????

No problems at all, click on my username, and then you get the option to send a private message, stuff like mobile numbers etc are best kept off the main board. I will send you a PM and you or your hubby can get in contact if you like. Loads of Scots out here, a Scottish (mainly Aberdeen) 5 a side team are playing in a tournament this Friday (football in case you haven't guessed !!).

Cheers.

Hello fellow Scots lady,
School for your little one would finish around 3 and the schools offer a bus service to drop her off 2 your house.Ìý Live in maids are an option or there's many Ghanians that would work daily eg 7-6pm. Live in maids can be difficult 2 find and not so many are English speaking....it is possible though to get maids from Phillipines although paperwork etc can be a bit tricky.Ìý There isn't really aftercare at the schools here as far as I know.
Hope that's of some help.
