You may be surprised by what you find at the crafts & party shop in The Beach Centre on Beach Road. There are lots of small crafty type things to buy and it includes wire, little blocks etc. When I built models I used to use piano wire for stiffer metal parts, and florist wire for softer connections. Do you need the small machine to work or be a model of a machine? I wonder if the car part and scrap shops are the best places to try. Thank you for your reply, and yes I need it to work. And I have no idea from where to find the stuffs. Thanks and will definitely try there. Please keep the suggestions coming.

Hi, We are buying a new car and would like to make some modifications (adding some stripes etc. ). The dealers are very expensive. Does anyone know of any place that will do a perfect job and not make a hole in the wallet? Please help. TIA!

Hi mum! You seem really worried. I had this problem and had to get it removed, bcoz it dint go with medication. It was a laproscopy. That was a para ovarian cyst. And then I got it again,( PCOS) I had read somewhere that a good healthy diet will help this condition. So the second time round, I had changed my diet to a healthy diet and included soya milk in it. I also did regular exercise. Then, Alhamdulillah, it went off by itself. This is not a condition you need to worry about unless you want kids soon. The doc will tell you in how many months you need to check. I think in six months is fine.

Oh wow! Thats a lot of info! You know I typed Salon and checked my voucher which said 'Saloon' so I changed it! :) The name puts me off:( I know what you mean! Saloons to me are western bars, for gun tottin' hard drinkin' cowboys. Kills me when I see 'Saloon'. Can you pls explain why? I really didn't get it. Look up the dictionary definition of 'saloon'. A Western saloon is a kind of bar particular to the American Old West. Saloons served customers such as fur trappers, cowboys, soldiers, gold prospectors, miners, and gamblers. The type you seen in Wild West movies. A beauty outlet where I come from is a 'salon' NOT a 'saloon'. Only really in India are they referred to as 'Saloons'. edited by Chocs01 on 29/02/2012

Its rather quiet here, except for the planes! I love this place actually.I moved here about a year back. Initially we had an issue with planes but now we r used to it. There is MCC, Arabian Center, Etihad Mall and Uptown Mirdif close by. Then even Mushrif park is near by. We r pretty happy here!

I lived in Iran couple of years back. Iranians hospitality is out of the world, they make you feel very much at home and one among them. It was a lovely experience - beautiful place, loving prople and awesome food! I make Iranian food at home now and infact even today. I have been to some good and bad restaurants here. Danial dubai- bad. Danial sharjah - better Sadaf dubai - fine Sadaf Sharjah - awesome! I have forgotten the names of many but Sadaf Sharjah is the winner hands down!

You must be knowing best by what he has been talking about lately or else just treat him with a special day - maybe movie with his friends or give him some money based on your budget and let him pick what he likes! Some kids like to do that. HTH!

Beebers thanx for being such a sweet heart and replying again. And WOW you have good knowledge in this. Ok so I do go for a walk everyday for half an hour and i do climb stairs, but i guess that alone will not work and I am a total food enthusiast so its a war between my brain and my heart. I have a thin waist and yes i do have a bit of love handles but my arms are not fat, its just my thunder thighs mainly and my face is thin and so if I lose weight overall it will show on my face. Any solutions? Complicated isn't it? Thanks beebers! My issue is just that I really dont need to lose weight over all and when i do, my face is getting too thin. Its soo annoying! I am still not sure whether Ishould invest in a stepper. Gotcha! okay, so you just want to trim the fat on your thighs, which is not too much, but has cellulite which you are unhappy with and wanting to rid? Defo would want to build some muscle in your thighs, then, and do cardio at the same time. You could even do walking, bodyweight lunges and squats! I do these along the marina walk in the mornings..or you can go to a park as well. you burn fat better in the morning, IMO, before breakfast while insulin is low and growth hormone is high. Also a note: do you actually have lower body fat in other areas of your body (upper arms, waist)? Meaning, you have muscle definition in your arms and abdominals? or are you just smaller in proportion in those areas? I don't want to say skinny fat, but I think you know what I mean. What usually happens is once you start cardio training, the fat will peel off the extremities (wrists, ankles, face and neck) and then to skinny fat areas before it goes to areas with high alpha receptors (love handles, thighs) <em>edited by adesperatehousewife on 12/02/2012</em>
