Did you know you don't need coins for parking meters?

Text 7275
Plate Number - SPACE - AREA CODE (on parking meter) SEND
You will get an immediate reply saying when your parking expires. Ten minutes before it expires you will receive an SMS asking if you want to extend.

OR

you can use your NOL card (Metro/bus) - you can put it in the parking machine instead of coins.

Another one... having underarm botox reduces your perspiration, which is very welcoming in the summer months when going from meeting to meeting and walking around with wet patches under your arms.... for me it's a huge problem, donno why but ever since I had kids, my hormones changed somewhat and I perspire far too much for my liking. Only downside, Dubai charge a little fortune to have it done here, so I have it done in my home country. teftee, this is hot topick for me also, can u give me a bit more infor please? thanks

Use corn meal to treat ant infestation. Ants will carry it to their next but cant digest corn meal properly. Its obviously non-toxic so its great for pets and kids!

Pour apple cider vinegar down the drains to get rid of drain flies and their nests. Pour about half of a normal sized bottle down each drain (kitchen, bathrooms, etc.) Reapply when they return. <em>edited by yvettesmom on 02/06/2014</em>

Adding Curry leaves to your diet and applying coconut oil in which curry leaves have been charred helps to reduce graying hair. Also drinking water stored overnight in a copper vessel usually for at Indian grocers like Al Adil help reduce graying hair.

Almond oil makes a great cleanser for dry skin- it even removes heavy eye makeup. After rinsing your skin is soft, eyelashes conditioned, unruly brows controlled. Also use honey in the morning. Apply a thin layer, let it sit for a minute or two and rinse. It's firming. All simple, cheap, and found at the grocery

Did you know you can whiten your teeth at home with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide? Works like a charm!!! Just mix a table spoon baking soda with hydrogen peroxide to create a tooth paste like mix. Rub it on your teeth for a while and then rinse. Do not swallow!!! Love this thread! FYI I asked Dr Nora at DLC about this and she said NO WAY. So be warned. It may whiten but the hydrogen peroxide will weaken your enamel quickly and after time aside from cavities your teeth will take on that grayish shade.

NOPE - on ipad no subscription needed. It is a free app. According to my 11 year old she just downloaded the app for free from the app store on ipad. I think she said you can pay money so you can watch without the ads ....I'll ask her tonight. Only 'problem' is that you can only watch LIVE tv but it's great for sports fixtures and kids TV on a Sat afternoon as you get the UK Sat am stuff. edited by Feefmick on 21/03/2013 on the web you can record up to 10 hours for free but more if you pay - can also get HD if you pay... Don't know about ipad.. I know this was posted last year but I came across it when I was going through the threads a few days ago. Anyway...I tried recording from FilmOn on my Ipad and it works! All that's required is that you create a user name and password. They ask for your location but I ignored that and it still worked. Polly, did you actually manage to get it to play on the ipad...? it records on mine but there is no way of watching it...! edited by MrsMozz on 15/04/2014 Yes....I did manage to watch the recordings on the iPad. After you've signed in, on the left, listed under 'extras' there should be 'My Recordings'.....just touch on that and it should take you to a web page where you've got your recordings stored. Then you just tap on the recording you want to watch. Hope I've explained well. Good luck. ;-)

That if you are in a MINOR car accident in DXB that you just now drive to the police station, rather than wait for the police to come to you. Dubai only this is not the case in SHJ apparently! As I experienced this morning!

Also toothpaste is really good for spots- you know the ones that you accidently take the top off when washing - just a small dab of TP and it dries in seconds helping the healing process.
