I just got my LO the leapfrog leap pad. Your son may be too old for it, but its worth checking out! The internet is very restricted, it has a camera and you can use any cartridges for the leap frog. The cartridges go a long way as they're more entertaining and activity filled than say "angry birds". My son has a leapfrog and he plays a lot with it, you can buy games online as well.

How many ladies here converted from their own religion to another? Interesting thought.....I did but wondering how many others did, for whatever reason.... I have grown up in a very catholic family, on my teens I started to follow another religion more for curiosity to see how it is for the others, then at university we had classes about different religions and believes... which is a very interesting subject to study. But now I don't follow any.

If you fall into the category of those nationalities that gets visa upon arrival, then do a visa run. or pay 600dhs to get them done in dubai. Mine is a Visit Visa for 3 months under my Sisters Sponsorship. If I got a job before my visa expires, how long will it taketo process from visit to employment visa? You will have to exit the country and your new sponsor will request an entry permit to proceed with the employment visa.

I'm also looking for a puppy... I have voluntered for fostering or adpting a dog at some rescue center's but as I will be home only at 4pm. I do not qualify. And with good reason. Have you looked into taking an older dog who needs a home? Although that is a long time not to be let out for a toilet break. No I haven't, thanks for your suggestion but I prefere a puppy who will grow with the family. Good reason or not, I can not argue with the rules of the shelter's just respect it. Anyway, we are looking to have a new member of the family very soon.

Do you work only in the mornings? ... have you tried to ask for working flexible hours in exchange for the time you spend at home? If you have a nani and work not far from home it might work for a few days. Hope your kids get well soon.

Talking about clothes I see the sales as the "normal" prices and the normal prices (outside sales) as over priced. I don't know how to buy online, I'm trying to learn from the experts here. :)

I've read the fine print for hotel stays and I'm very cautious with these coupon deals. Have had other good experiences with other deals but if you don't get the dates you want, price changes etc. I can see how frustrating it can be. Maybe chalk it up to lesson learned? [b'> I have an idea if there's a next time. [b'>Make a reservation and tell them you have a voucher[/b'>[b'>[/b'>, the buy your voucher and you're then guaranteed the date, price etc.[/b'> This is what I do, no problems.

Agree with outspan. When I have a difficult decision to take, it helps me think I am the one given advice to someone else, I think it helps because I know the "other person" well.

I can't help with brands because it depends on a lot of things, but I can suggest you use a primer before and then the fundation (which I suggest it to be a BB Cream type of), it will look beautifull. Er...what's a primer? Do you mean a moisturiser or concealer? A makeup primer will prepare your skin, keeping oil at bay while filling in fine lines and providing a smooth canvas for your foundation to stick to.

Hi, it was long time ago. Have a look at the link below. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/sign-in-cant Once it is recovered, get into your old account with old password and change it to a new one (microsoft will give directions). After that you will not need the new accont anymore. let me know if you get it.

40 plus is pushing it but over 45 forget it get it cut to your ears and keep it neat but funky. What arrant nonsense. Short hair does not suit everybody, no matter how old you are. The Golden Rule is to keep it bra strap length. That is a very flattering length and very youthful. Anything below the bra strap pulls you down and makes you look older. Oh, and keep your hair sleek and shiny. Fluffy hair is very ageing. *Like*

Beebers, the rush hour is bad at SZR .... if you could take the Ppsy exit (or any other exit leading to Al Khail Rd) and then take Maydan (on the way to 66) is better. Thanks. The route suggested by google was beach road to Umm Suqeim, and then on the DSO. I've passed it on the way to Hatta, but not in "rush hour" hours. Back home I drove 45 mins each way. I can handle that, but of course who doesn't prefer less! x I wouldn't go to beach road... depending where you live but you could take take the exit to organics @ Greens as well ... anyway, I dont live there anymore, I moved to DSO !!

Sorry for a slight hijack...does anyone commute from Marina to DSO? Are the rush hour traffic times h3ll, or any feedback? Google maps says it's 40km...but that could mean any amount of time...

A friend of mine told me she did a boxing class - twice a week and lost 15kg in 3 months. Gloves were bought at the weekend and I start tonight as I would love to loose the extra 15 Dubai kg's I have put on since I have been here. I'll keep you posted as to how I have got on! Hi polly, may I ask where are you doing your classes? thanks

For me, it works only when my oldest DS was in grade 5 ... as I was sure he would be able to tell me if something was wrong.... I've got a part time maid who would clean and keep an eye on them. Before that, I had lots to do with the kids, like HW, sports day, parents consultations, and so on... But I know someone who was working before get pregnant and after she got the baby she employed a full time maid.... so, what I whant to say is that people are diferent on their decisions... I would not leave my new born baby with a maid. But this is just me. Good Luck <em>edited by BeckyDXB on 03/04/2012</em>

No idea what VBAC is but, as far as I know with 38 weeks the baby is ready and after that will only gain weight. Also, if you have had previus C section the chances you will have now a baby in a natural way is minimal. But of course I can be wrong, your baby is healthy at this moment, why you dont want let him come ?
