That's a shame Cleopatra. As I said, I haven't had to use him for anything other than routine but I would hope that the admin staff would be understanding and accommodating if an emergency arises. I'll keep that in mind.

I'd be tempted to take to it with my red pen. Which, as a former teacher, I always have on me ;)

I second Dr Nicholl. We haven't had to use him for anything other than routine checkups but he has a lovely manner and he's very knowledgeable, quite academic in his approach which I like. He was recommended to me by a friend and when I saw his photo on his website it was a done deal! Oh and the nurses and receptionists at the clinic are lovely and professional.

I'm no expert but I actually think there will be a temporary spike in the prices. Unfortunately (for those of us who are wanting to buy) it's a seller's market at the moment and owners are holding out for this announcement so they can raise their prices. However, if buyers are not willing to pay those prices and owners are finding that their properties are left on the market for longer before they're sold (which is >1 month is this market) then prices will have to be adjusted. This is all compounded by the new mortgage law which is likely to take effect at the end of December, meaning mortgage buyers are less likely to be able to afford the inflated prices. (Although about 70% of property sales in Dubai are cash sales! so maybe it won't have much of an effect after all). On balance, I think you're better off getting in now because I don't think prices will come down any time soon.

One book you MUST get is [b'>The Wonder Weeks[/b'> by Hetty van de Rijt and Frans Plooij. You'll have to order it online but it is essential reading. It won't tell you how to put a baby on a schedule or how to help them sleep or when to wean or anything like that. It outlines when infants and toddlers go through their major developmental leaps and what you can expect from them and what you can do to help them. I've found it to be reassuring (because when baby's fussy and cranky it's not something that I'm doing wrong, it's because they're going through a busy growth spurt). It also helps to know when babies can do things like stack rings on a stacker or when they can point to their nose so you can put that toy away until they're ready and not put pressure on them or yourself. And most importantly, it's full of anecdotes from hundreds of other parents so it makes you feel like you're not alone. I highly, highly, highly recommend it.

I was just down at the Union Co-Op in Jumeirah and saw a whole bay of the gold shiny wrappers! No peanut slabs or coconut slabs unfortunately but hopefully they're on the way. Nom nom nom.

I second TKD. It's the only place I'll go to now for bras. The ladies in there give the best service and the bras are beautiful. I usually pay about 270 for one but it really is worth it. It's such a good feeling walking out knowing that you have bras that fit you well.
