Just wanted to say watch out for thieves, friend and I did it a few months back and they are getting more brazen... had lots of stuff nicked (not money fortunately) seems to be groups of young women, one will ask you about an item (usually clothing) the others will grab stuff while you're not looking :( Good advice. I have shared a table before and in one sitting it happened several times. Usually in groups of 4-5. IF you can have someone there just to watch out for this it helps.

Goodreads is addicting for me! I don't even download the books but enjoy reading reviews and suggestions. Wouldn't an official EW book club be great?!

ASD is superior! Unlike DAA it is non-profit, smaller class sizes, many more activities , and a genuine community feel. However it is more expensive if finances are an issue. If you have any questions I would be happy to help as much as I can

Not always though. Sometimes it is to their benefit. It's nice to have a chat on EW about opposite viewpoints without resorting to a cat fight!! I agree !!!

Blondie. The best for all of the people involved is what I wish for too. Unhappiness is a terrible thing to suffer. You may think you are a little jaded - but I could be totally deluded! But I hope not! Yes, all involved. Children do seem to usually suffer the consequences of our choices in life though

Look, the OP may be telling the truth. And have tried to cover up who she may be in real life by altering what children she has, and then, in her distress forgetting her story. She may also have oversimplified the end story for easier reading and to, possibly, alter the truth a little to cover tracks. None of us know for sure. I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt and wish her well. Really ladies, if this is a true story lets hope it all ends happily and peacefully. Have a happy weekend everyone. I can understand changing identifying factors such as child/children but than why come back and post about this new blossoming relationship if so concerned ?!

Wear what makes you comfortable. I wear a suit but usually have a towel or sarong very close by because I am conscious about mine. I am more comfortable swimming in a one piece or tankini than a bathing skort

I too thought this was a wind up from day 1, just someone trying to entertain us ladies. However, If the husband has been banned from working, it must go through municipality - they are the only ones that can ban someone from working although he can still be in Dubai on a tourist visa. If the husband is banned from Dubai (also UAE) then there will be a police case against him, for him to be out the country the case will have been opened after he left - he can't have got out the country with a case open here! I would not be getting involved with anyone if there was a police case against my husband, the police will dig deep and the laws are very tough out here!! From what I understand from your post, you are now seeing his ex boss - something I would not be getting involved in if there was a case in dubai! I certainly would not be proud of your latest thread and posting it on sites, the police out here are extremely tough and i would HATE to be on the wrong side of the law! There is also your child to think of, you have taken them away from their daddy. Regardless what you think, children make up their own minds and I would hope despite what has happened that you would never BS your child to disliking their dad. What has happened is between you and him and regardless of that, I'm sure I read in the past you stated your husband was a great father to your child. This story really does not add up, I'm sorry to say ... If it is true, I feel for the little child not being able to see their father! All excellent points! You never know who is reading this and yes- can be traced. Even local newspapers have copy/pasted posts from here for "stories." If this is true and you are seeing another man you could very well lose custody if your child/ren regardless. Please consider undoing what damage you can now before it completely gets out of control. If this is a windup - shame on you

If this really is all truth please consider all the drastic changes your DD has been thru and will face before getting involved with someone else. Completely unnecessary at such a vulnerable time for all.

You should sack your driver because if his reaction and prediction skills are that poor to a small mutt taking a wee nip how can you trust him driving on the roads here? That's a bit harsh. Some cultures here have a belief that a dog is the dirtiest of animals- so to be bitten by one may upset someone more than those of us used to dogs.

I have used Dubai LAadies Club. Gorgeous sauna, steam room , jacuzzi, and tropical spray showers. You can also have beach and pool access and its pretty empty during the week. They serve lunch as well ( nothing fancy). They do not serve alcohol. I can recommend the moroccon Hammon scrub but I have not tried anything else. If there are two of you maybe invest in the entertainer body book

I also enjoy large bookstores. Something about all the various fiction / non fiction appeals to me by reminding me that whatever is bothering me shall pass. The travel section also helps. There's always the self- help section too

Hello, I can highly recommend Infinity Clinic on Al Wasl rd. # 04394-8994 My daughter had sessions with Aalia Thobani and has thrived. She will no longer need her sessions and we will miss her, very lovely. She was highly recommended by DD nursery as they found her very sucessful. I find her very honest, positive, and warm. She also assists in what you can do at home to help.

I found that high AND low lights was the best way to transition for a few reasons. It lasts longer growth wise because it blends, not such a drastic change, and you have the option of the amount. Try face framing highlights

The Ripe Shop off Al Manara stocks Shea Butter, but i'm not sure if it is unrefined. The one i picked up is a gorgeous rich cream, which i've been using to try to avoid stretchmarks. It looks similar to the pictures found in the link below. **UPDATE** - just check and it said it is Raw Shea butter, 95AED for 250ML. edited by MrsJT on 10/04/2013 I see this is a resurrected thread. I want to add that I used this too MrsJT! I always recommend it - available in whipped also

Gone are the days of scandal and entertainment... It started when the maids moved into their own forum. And nobody seems to have such scandalous maids anymore where the scandals run on for days/weeks with us all on tenterhooks. It's all a bit dull really. I think it slowed down from an era of bannings and several threads getting deleted often

Seychelles ! We went with our 4 and 6 year olds and they absolutely loved it! There is an optional kids club full of activities ( crab hunting, pirate scavenger hunts, dances, kids shoes, all types). Even a very varied Buffett to please everyone. My girls loved the magical looking rock formations and beautiful waters. Also the other children we meet were just as thrilled. Yes it can be expensive though.
