Was it him? Oh I hope it was. I lost one of my cats 2 weeks ago in DSO and can't for the life of me find him, I have catnapped one cat thinking it was him, took him home to check his teeth, but it wasn't him so I returned him to the place I picked him up. Since then I have had several calls and when they describe the cat they all sound like the one I have been to see countless times. It seems there are a few stray cats around the DSO that are all black but not one of them is mine :(

Hi, I used to live in JVT in a 2 bed arabic style and I loved it!! Really sorry to have moved from there but we needed more space for our growing family. Firstly our DEWA bills were the highest there that they have ever been but never over 2,400dhs. When we first moved we had a laeflet put under our door from one of the neighbours who had a dewa bill for 17K because they had an underground water leak. They did eventually sort this out but I think it took them some time. We were very worried that it would happen to us too but it didn't. It cost us 10K to have basic paving slabs and some grass and stones laid down and an extra 3K to have the fencing covered to make it private (we were on a corner). Basically I would decribe the villas as heat boxes. In the summer we had the ac on in two rooms downstairs and they would contradict each other in temp so only one was really doing the cooling and we never really felt that the room would get cool enough. Plus the fans in the ac are on constantly when the ac is on, its the units on the roof that switch on and off as necessary. All extractor fans in the villa are on at all times and can't be turned off. 500dhs of the dewa was for housing services, our water for the house and grass would be a further 500 dhs and the rest was electricity!!! The only problems we had were with horrible smells coming from the maids room but noticed it was when the sewerage needed emptying and also the kitchen ceiling developed a leak which was apparently condensation. If the roof drainage outlets are not unblocked from sand then the roof leaks and the water comes down the wall of the staircase and then leaves a really musty smell. If we weren't getting ready for having another baby we would have stayed there though as we really loved it. It was so nice not having another villa joined onto you but you are very overlooked at the rear of the property. For the last few months we got a direct view into our neighbours bedroom and they used to like to undress with the curtains open!! No amount of times me standing in our doorway and shouting my cats gave them the hint that just maybe I could see them - or maybe they were exhibitionists (sp?) . Now there is also an access from the springs it makes getting to and from there much better.

I have a nearly 8 month boy and he wakes at 5.30 most mornings! I have tried everything; changing his bedtime from 7pm to later, changing the time of the dream feed from 10.30 to 11pm and to 11.30pm, feeding him at 5.30am and re-settling, altering the temperature of the room from cold to warmer, ignoring him lol!!! Nothing works. He is still in our room as I am lazy and like him next to our bed and we have blocked out all the light with blackout blinds, taped over any lights on the TV, DVD, AC control so it is pretty dark in there but he still wakes early. It doesn't bother me some days as I only have him to worry about and so I just get up with him. It might be a different story if I had two kiddies to worry about! His daytime sleeps are either 8.30 till 9.30am or 9.15 till 10am and then he will normally have another hour at 12.30 or 1pm (depending on the time of his first nap) Its hard to know whether to grin and bear it or to keep trying diff things to see if they help. x
