Just call me Princess

Hi my name is Dee and I have neglected my blogging obligations.

But I have a good reason - as always! - for being incommunicado.

Baited breath, people, baited breath.

I landed a short term contract treating a member of the Qatari Royal Family. Yeah-huh. Who would believe it?! Quietly, I am earning a tidy sum of money for doing something I love for a client who happens to be from a rather influential (a wee understatement) and wealthy (gross understatement!) family. I have been waking up for the last week and a bit pinching myself in disbelief.

I was flown from London to Doha in business class - an amazing experience if I do say so myself! I am staying in a 5-star hotel with all expenses paid. I have a driver. I have spent a mere sum of 5oGBP in the last 10 days (which is impossible to do in London).

The only down side to this venture? The hotel I am staying at does not have a pool (madness) and is one of the only 'dry' hotels in Doha (wouldn't you know it!).

That being said, I could so get use to all this.

You know what? Just call me Princess!

I plan to write a more complete account of this experience but at the moment life is a bit of a whirlwind ... no complaints mind you, no complaints!
