..I have a meeting at 4pm tomorrow and the last time I took a taxi from Dubai, it cost me over 300dhs. Its for a job interview and I am not really sure of the location though I have been provided with a map. I know I can take a bus there and then hop onto a taxi but I might be carrying quite a bit of equipment and documents for demo purposes...so do not want to mess up my dress by moving about too much. Is there a metro/tram that goes to Abudhabhi ? Apologies for being silly :confused: I will be travelling alone. All advice and suggestion highly appreciated and valued. MB

A big thumbs up for Dr. Anupama at Noa Dental Clinic in Satwa. Highly recommend her. My search for a good dentist ended when she was recommended by a EW on this forum. She really cares for her patients and in the past 3 months, I have done a much needed root canal, two crowns and a denture.

you can check out kidzania in Dubai mall. second option is the water theme parks that would have promotions for during Eid as well.you can check the cobone or groupon website for the deals. or you could have a anice get together in one of the parks or restaurants like chillies or ihop whr they would also have the bday suprise with a cake cutting etc. this could be followed with a trip to Ski Dubai. Check if you could get entertainer voucher from anyone. Thank you smile16. Did not know kidzania admitted older kids. have to definitely check that out. Never been to SkiDubai... so thats an idea too... Thanks mums

You could plan a whole day and evening of activities for him. Early morning take him and his friends to a water park, leave just before lunchtime and take them somewhere you have organized a lunch (at home or at a restaurant, too hot to do a park at the moment), do the birthday cake. This is the bit, where the adults join in. After lunch take all the children to the cinema, then back home for video games competitions (choose the games beforehand and have a board for the scoring, prizes, have drinks and snacks available) and a sleep over. If you have the energy, set up his room so it is like a camping sleepover (lots of ideas on pinterest). Or else do the water park the whole day followed by the video games competition, dinner plus cake and the sleep over, skipping the movie, and doing movie night at home with popcorn instead. It would all depend on what he is into really. Like keepitsimple, I would personally not do the dolphin experience, but if it is your thing, see if there are any groupon or entertainer deals, and take him on his own the next day once all the sleep over buddies have left, so you are only paying that bit for the immediate family. Hope this is useful. Thank you suzy...appreciate the whole day idea. Will definitely look into it...though not sure how many of his friends would be here as most of them would be going home for the summer hols.

HorizonMum2 I'm saddened you're encouraging swimming with the dolphins at Atlantis, sorry I had to say it :( Dear KIS, HM2 was just answering my very particular question...not every post needs a reply. If dolphins are there to provide comfort to children and parents like me are unaware of it, forums like these do help.

if he loves Dolphins then the experience at Dolphin Bay at Atlantis would be well worth the money... they will have good offers during summer (as it's not the most favourable time of the year climate wise) for the hotel stay as well so why not have your family friends etc book yourselves in for a staycation at the hotel... this would also give you the Aquaventure passes... i would avoid the Eid weekend though coz prices will be sky rocketing at that time Thankyou HM2 for the suggestion. My DS adores dolphins and would really enjoy spending some time with them. thanks also on the tip about the Eid weekend...didn't think about that...have to plan ahead then....

Dear All Just want to celebrate his turning into a teenager with a small group of family and friends:music: We do not intend to travel mainly due to the heat but is open to water park adventures and such.He loves dolphins ,so was wondering if anyone knows of any offers or promotions that could see him spending a day with them. He has had quite a tough time last year with his grandpa passing away that we would like to make this a memorable one.All ideas and suggestions on places that take up a birthday celebration highly appreciated. Would also appreciate the contact number of a freelance photographer who does not charge much to capture the whole event. MB

Dearest Maroosh ,thank you very much for the info. Appreciate it. Unfortunately Uni of Not. does offer a PGCE course but the advisor has made it very clear that it is NOT a teaching qualification but serves as a pathway if I want to further my Masters in education. I do not mind if it is anywhere in the UAE as long as I receive a UK teaching qualification ta the end of my course. Can you help? Anyone else have any suggestions/experience?

I have gained 4 kilos in one week!!! Fearing the worst, went for routine blood checks and tests and by God's grace,all turned out fine. My BMI shows 24.5 which I believe is borderline overweight. I have also been eating too much lately and I feel hungry most of the time. Has not happened before!! Could be the fact that I have returned to playing squash twice weekly after a gap of 11 years. I can actually feeeeeeeeeeel the flab when sitting down or moving. I need to loose weight and I am trying to cut down on my intake. I work fulltime leaving home at 6.30 in the morning and coming back at 4.30pm. Can anyone suggest a good doctor/dietician? All advice highly appreciated.

Thank you for all the response. Dear Mrs. P, as kids ,we were always made to wash our hair in the morning when we take a bath and I think it sort of grew up with me. So now, not washing my hair everyday makes me feel like I am missing something. Also I do have long hair. Being from the sub continent,oiling and shampooing the hair has become a routine.I will try the perfume squirt ;) Dear DB, no offense taken. Its always great to know more information. I will surely read the article. Sarah, thanks for the info. but where do you get Keratace from? Anyone else with more advice? MB
