Tartiflette- see you are starting at DESS what year?? I've got 3 of them covered if you wanna 'bump' into someone. It's a lovely school and you will make frinds there but it's also nice if you can get some introductions. Hi! My daughter is in Year 1, she'll be joining the green class. Any of yours in there? It would be great to meet you but also great for her if she can know of another kid in her class or year... Someone who could say "hi" (if bribed beforehand with Easter eggs) and/or include her at break time...

I'm sooo lazy in the school hols and DH working so not going anywhere. But have the big eggs and a 'party pack' out from EB and hidden lots of plastic eggs filled with stuff that won't melt like cola bottles and mentos. However DS 1 is just like his Mum and never sleeps and just came down for water, I told him 'No' coz EB may have already been!! He's 10 and knows the truth so laughed at me and now we have a deal that he'll try and stop the younger ones finding the eggs he's spotted before I get up - great secret for us. And as I never got round to making the xmas snow globes (but have all the ingrediants) I have suggested using those silly lego figures they buy and making them into snow globes - and he thinks that's cool. So I'm gonna have a cool, fun day with my boys. Tartiflette- see you are starting at DESS what year?? I've got 3 of them covered if you wanna 'bump' into someone.

Hi Sugar, The Four Points is fine, big flat (very skimpy kitchen equipment though) and decent furnishings although the bathrooms are pretty dated. The staff are a bit confused as to our cleaning entitlements so hoping to sort that out tomorrow (twice-weekly full cleaning has become thrice, but daily rubbish removal seems to have been forgotten altogther)... Not much for kids, just the pool upstairs but school starting anyway and hoping to move mid-month if we find a house. LO starting at DESS, have been rushing around to get uniforms and the special red shoes. Need to start ironing the name labels on.. Yeccch. :(

No one going to brunch somewhere (with egg hunt etc.)? After all my "newbie" threads we have finally arrived in Dubai and thought it would be fun to take our daughter (nearly 6)--who is freaked out about starting at her new school on Monday--for a bit of a treat. Suggestions welcome (as well as company if anyone has similar-aged kids!)...

Best friend is arriving tomorrow!!! Can't wait, have missed her soo much!!! Not really doing anything Eastery (is that a word?), but will have roast Lamb tomorrow for dinner. Slightly worried about all the Easter egg hunts, how do you prevent them from melting before you little ones have managed to find them? I remember many years ago we lived in a house with a very very large garden and would find Easter eggs when mowing the lawn untill deep into summer. Guess Dad hid them a little too well ;) We used to love icing sugar easter eggs for the hunts back home-they never melted! Have a great time catching up with your friend

I'm baking Hot Cross Buns (or Hot Non-Denominational Buns in our case lol). No choccy eggs yet but perhaps DH will surprise me... I miss the days of easter egg hunts - up super early on Easter morning, and "the Easter Bunny" (aka Mum) would hide about 20 large and small eggs around our garden. I even had my own wheelbarrow with my name painted on for egg-collecting (SPOILED!) :) Chocolate for breakfast, yum yum!

Picnic brunch today with friends and we've all done something for the kids to do an egg hunt at the picnic. Sound of music tomorro and we've ordered turkey take out for traditional Easter Sunday lunch and are doing with our great friends who live on the palm so another egg hunt but on the beach on Sunday. The Easter bunny comes to our villa with the big eggs for the kids on Saturday night so they wake to a chocolate festival!!! My dh's Easter bunny came early as he polished off one of the kids eggs last night!!!!!!! I love easter it's a mini Xmas in our house but with a chocolate theme. <em>edited by Clairehdp on 22/04/2011</em>

beach, bunny run building, dinner out, visiting satwa, bbq with friends and on the Sunday we're having a lovely traditional lunch with friends. Himself is working, but lil miss is finally on holidays. He will take 2 days off next week and we'll head to RAK for 4 days. Really enjoying hearing about other countries traditions for the egg 'finding' in the morning from lil miss. We do a hunt with the plastic eggs and sweets inside but just for fun, otherwise the bunny comes in the middle of the night to leave the eggs. We've heard about them hidden through the house, left hanging on a basket on the door..all sorts. Very cool.

I just got two bags of little ones from Marks & Spencers...(they also have a bucket and kits for setting up an easter egg hunt...) but am just going to do the little ones. Need to think how to do it though.....? Ow shame. Do you do the big ones as well usually in your country? And then they come with this little sugar stuff in it that makes a sound when you shake the egg... Maybe Waitrose, Choitram or Spinneys... Might check it.
