Anyone know the number for Apollo Flight Centre, and their opening times? I've checked on the website, but there is no answer onthe number posted - plus I don't think that is the actual number for the Business Bay branch as it starts with a 3.

does nay one have a maids room for rent?i dont have amaids room and am looking for one close by.LOL i know im hoping too much;-) that's not legal, is it ?? where did your previous maid sleep ? well this is my first maid.ive sponsered her and im paying her accomodation and traveling costs.shes staying in satwa.so its not ilegal by any means.there are many people who dont want a live in maid..coz of privacy or lack of space..im one:-)i was just wondering if she could have a shorter distance to go everyday.no worries! what happened to the maid who complained that you didn't feed her ? She came from a agency..for trial.if she lasted I would've rented her a room as I don't want any one to suffer since I don't have a maids room..secondly I like my privacy after dinner time and prefer live outs. Before this trial maid I had a lovely part time maid that left around 5-6 everyday ,she left coz of her own issue..nothing on my end.i hope now ur satisfied or do I need to give u details of maids before this aswell? lol..no hard feelings.coming back to the current situation..this maid will be my first sponsored maid ..anyway I've already got her sorted:-)

I found out what was being done to the windows! ours have stopped POPping! and the sunshades are back. Seems like they have replaced seals or something. good work! I heard there are yoga classes twice a week in the gym, can anyone confirm or if there are any other classes? Is Tips & Toes open yet, was due for 15th? Any more new openings on the horizon? :) Oh interesting about the windows! We never had that issue...but seriously I cant believe it took them 2 and a half years to fix them! The security guy in the gym told me that there are a group of ladies that have organised some sort of group exercise class with aa personal trainer. I got the impression that the classes weren't advertised for all but they were legit and agreed with management. He said they're in the gym (West heights) on a few evenings after 6pm aand suggested talking to them to see if anyone can join. I haven't actually seen these ladies yet tho! Tips & toes not open yet...

Are there any exercise classes held in the gyms? I am in my early 30s and find gyms very daunting - hence my ever increasing weight. I have peaked and feel like a hippo and need to do something. Does anyone want a gym buddy that is in need of motivation? Thanks

Hi everyone, my husband has just signed the lease on an apartment in J tower and I'm really looking forward to joining you all in early August. I will be moving with my two teenage daughters and newborn baby so am really hoping to link up with some other mums! For now I have a question about orthodontists though. One of my daughters has braces and I'll need to find an orthodontist straight away ( preferably before I arrive) to take over her treatment. I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations? Thanks (love the updates about shops opening btw!)

Ohhhh I get you!! I know our windows were washed today (at least the bedroom) I'll check and see if anything has been removed and then report back...lol but then I can guarantee that I know if we had them in the first place or not! It's a bit worrying they can just remove them though, isnt it?

We are currently having all the ? fittings taken off from above our windows externally. Is this a temporary thing? is it just so the windows can be washed and then they put them all back on again? Or is it permanent? What is the ? for before fittings? I can't for the life of me figure out what they're taking off externally!
