Sorry to hear you are going through such a tough time at the moment. I have heard great things about dr houriya kazim. I think she set up a support group called Brest friends I met some of the members a while ago and they were an amazing group of women you may find they will be a great support to you while you are making these really difficult decisions. I'm sorry I can't help with a recommendation for a cardiologist.

Al ain wildlife park is fantastic. For a 14 month old all they really need for a great holiday is a paddling pool to sit in, bucket and spade for the beach, my little girl at that age would spend ages filling a little plastic watering. Pcan and sprinkle the water around the garden. For indoors a few DVDs mine loved mickey mouse and Dora the explorer, play dough and just pots and pans from the kitchen with wooden spoons and lids! Oh and ice cream in the freezer!!!!

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to names, or should I say I like *proper* names rather than *made up* names and to me they all sound a bit daft with the exception of Nina and Giselle that are *proper* names within the context of the countries they originate. But.... each to their own. I fully understand that one man's trash is another man's treasure. :):)

Where are they from? The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in London are world class. My nephew's scoliosis has been operated on there. My sister cannot speak highly enough of them. I completely agree world class spinal specialists. Would e worth a 2nd opinion and a plan with them that's absolutely what I would do if it was one of my children.

One of my nieces friends has scoliosis and I remember seeing her shortly after her surgery (she was about 12) it was amazing. She's got a beautifully straight back now and her curve was pretty bad affecting her lung capacity from what I remember. Are your friends British because it may well be worth them getting in touch with the paediatric orthopaedic team at the Royal national orthopaedic hospital in stnmorr, Middlesex for advice I believe they ave a specialist unit there. My best friends daughter has recently had hip surgery there and she was very very impressed with the specialist care there as she had been sent from pillar to post by the local hospital who really did not have the right level of expertise for her condition. There is also a very helpful scoliosis website that may help them. http://www.sauk.org.uk/ I'm not sure if surgery is required that I would do this surgery in Dubai I would prefer to take the treatment at a specialist centre who perform these operations and treatments day in and day out. Maybe the dr has not given them any more information as he knows it is probably better handled in a specialist unit outside of the UAE. You don't say how old the child is but if they are young it can be treated very well with plaster body casts but again you would really need a centre of excellence and I'm not aware of that type of facility in Dubai. I hope they find the help they need.

Shepherd I was in Farnham today!!!! I'd choose to stay there with little ones. You've got bird world to visit and the fantastic Alice holt forest and if the weather is good you could have some lovely picnics at frensham ponds. The m25 does not go o Farnham but get off and onto m3 and it's a pretty easy run. Oooh maybe we might meet up!!!! Happy to help you if you need more info as this is where I hang out!

I would turn up but hang back and nip into the chuch/crematorium and sit at the back. Be there to pay your respects and go. I would speak to hs wife and explain that you will be there but won't go back after the service. Go and visit her in a few weeks time so you can chat with her and remember her husband. She will probably be very pleased to see you when everyone else has gone. That way you pay your respects on the day, you cause no ill feeling to your ex husbands family and you can boost the widow with a visit to remember her husband when she will probably need it most - a win, win situation. How lovely that you were able to see him before he passed away. I know my mum doesn't remember much about the day of my dads funeral but she remembers fondly of those who turned up in the weeks after with a cake, some flowers or a nice meal for the freezer. So sorry for your loss.

I'm here!!!! I would highly recommend the breakfast buffet at Al Qasr. When the weather is nice you can take breakfast out on the terrace. If you want pork go to the main buffet restaurant, Arboretum they serve breakfast til 11.30 on a weekday so do a late breakfast and it will be a brunch! - if youre not bothered about having pork sausages, ham and bacon products then there is a smaller restaurant which is lovely too and superb fresh pancakes - Khaymat Al Bahar. I've not tried the Address one but would imagine that would be very nice too - we are over in December - I'll put that on my list of things to do!

We did Bab Al Shams last christmas day - it was fabulous - Santa arrived across the sand dunes on a camel! superb food, lovely decorations and we all sat outside - wonderful experience and one I will never forget. We have also done turkey take out which is also superb. We are back in the UK now and can't decide whether to do the turkey at home or go out to one of the hotels or a country pub...... hmmm decisions, decisions...... Dare I ask how much that cost, Claire? It sounds wonderful, but possibly out of our budget as there may be 10 of us this year. BTW, were your ears burning today? I was just telling a friend how much I wish I'd met you when you were here and how I want to be you when I grow up, IYSWIM :D Can't remember simpleas - it wasn't OTT and it was pretty amazing. I'm back in Dubai to celebrate my birthday right after Xmas so perhaps we can get a little drink together then!

You can always call for a sky cap assistance. The guys arrive with their trollies and you just point out which is your luggage. It's no where near as cheap as the ones in Dubai but if you are travelling on your own with toddlers and babies it makes it much easier. You can take them on arrival at Heathrow and the ones I have had always take me to a special check in desk and get me checked in really quickly and I can assure you I am not a glamorous traveller so I don't think it's my looks that get me there!!!!! The only other way is to just take your time - get baby settled into their buggy and get the cases off. I used to find that I would be thinking of how to do stuff but.....you just get there and you work out a way and it's usually absolutely fine and you feel so triumphany when you arrive and sit down with your glass of wine!

Ooooh tally-ho - I just got a message from a friend telling me to go on here! Getting on really well thanks. Just come back from an amazing weekend away in The Cotswolds with another family who left Dubai a year before we returned! My little boys best friend from his class - we all had such fun and laughed at the things we miss and the stuff we don't miss! Kids are absolutely loving school - can't believe how much sport they have - they are knocked out when they get home! Both are up bright and early excited to go in - long may that continue!!!!! We moved to a brand new house too so am loving that and we've got great neighbours - funnily enough one of our neighbours used to live on Arabian Ranches and came back a year before we did - so it's all working out really well. Am loving the greenery, we seem to have avoided most of the rain and we are enjoying lovely blue skies and flurry clouds. I am the proud owner of a pair of wellies and I've only got to wear them twice!!!! Missing bits and bobs from Dubai but we are going back on vacation at Christmas so we get to see all our friends and have our Dubai fix! Most of our 298 boxes are now unpacked and the house really does feel like home. Would be fab to meet up!

We flew our cat from UK to Dubai using Air Pets - they were superb. We paid a little bit extre and they collected her from our house. We used Alison at the Dubai Doghouse (even though it was a cat - she does all animals!) and she was superb. Easy to deal with on e mail. she sorted out all the paperwork and liaised with Air Pets. We paid a bit extra to her too and had her deliver the cat to our villa in Dubai. she gets the pets cleared really quickly at Dubai as she knows exactly where to go and who to talk to!!!! We have recently returned to UK and used Alison to coordinate our cats return. As I am typing she is here, purring at my feet and enjoying the long grass and the cooler air! One word of advice - make sure that you keep your rabies jab up to date and redone every year - within the year - I was told in the UK it was good for 3 years but it seems that if you want/need to return to the UK from Dubai the rabies jab is needed to be done annually.....a lot of people have been caught out with that. If I can help you with anything else I am here in the UK and spent 5 years in Dubai - very happy to chat to you and answer any questions - you can reach me on e mail on claire dot damamme @ ntlworld dot com.

If the rent committee say that an increase is not legal then I would listen to them. I'm surprised they even suggested that you offer an increased rent as that dilutes your case. We took our LL to the rent committee and won our case - they are fair there and the rights of tenants are protected against rogue Landlords.....however..... it does depend on who your LL is.....if he's a local...... might be a different scenario...... Since we won our case (a few years ago) I have recommended everyone goes to the rent committee and I know many many people who thought they would have to pay a load more rent but....did go to the rent committee - took advice - wrote to their LL and quoted the law and ended up with either a reduction or a renewal at the same rent. other friends have lodged cases (you do have to pay a percentage of your rent to lodge a case but if your LL is acting against the law (and is not local!) then it's money well spent because the amount you spend when you win the case is deducted from your annual rent) and won. In fact......in my circle of friends there I don't know anyone who has lost a case....... emlsnre on here had a run in with her LL and I told her to stick to her guns - she only recently dealt with the rent comittee - put a shout out for her and she can tell you that you are protected - she got sorted...... she was really nervous about it but I promise you - call their bluff and quote all the rules and regs and laws .....you do have rights and you should be able to renew at no increase...... good luck!

Oh, Claire, that's the first I've heard of a private abra tour of the Creek, sounds fun, if I just google will I find a company, or do you just wander down to the Creek and ask? Amazed husbad hasn't insisted on the Seaplane thing, will have to do that when nephew comes over at Crimble :) Just ask at The abra station one of them will take you. Keep an eye out for drawings as they do good offers every now and then. They might also be in the entertainer..... Can't remember! <em>edited by Clairehdp on 20/08/2011</em>

Have you had a chance to visit Dubai to have a look around? I personally prefer Springs/Meadows/Lakes area as the area is closer 'centre'. With the highways coming up, I am sure the roads will be less congested. And I do personally find AR too far out for me. Meadows have lovely huge villas! :) It's funny because I used to think that ar was far out when we lived in jumeirah islands so right by the meadows but it's not at all it's far more central than the meadows having moved over there! You get to see far more of Dubai than being right down sir by springs and meadows. Now the roundabout has been replaced by the flyover I found ar a much better location.

If you are both non Muslim then you are not subject to sharia law. A person I know lost her husband last year and her children stayed with her and I'm pretty sure she had no mention of this in her will. The only time the children will be put into care is if you both died (ie in car accident) this is when you need to have done a temporary guardianship naming who would look after the children until such time as your children's guardians from your home country can get over to Dubai to take over permanent care. This is. Legal document and very few expats realise the implications if they dont have this. My understanding is that it can take weeks to get the children out of care but by having this in place your children are well cared for and looked after until your family can come over and ake over their care.

My first housemaid had never seen a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave etc that's very usual she also hardly spoke English but I spent time with her, training her helping her and teaching her English and paid her a decent wage - just because these girls can't work a machine doesn't mean they should be treated like 2nd rate citizens. I respect these girls/ladies they are brave having left their homes and families and often very young children to provide a better future for their families. 500 dhs a month isn't going to get a person much in any country - be a better person - pay her at least 800 and your girl will be able to give her family so much more. There are loads of Ethiopian maids in Dubai try to hook her up with some especially as you say you have friends who have Ethiopian maids and let her hav a little life outside of your family. You say she's with you 7 days a week - go on be kind and generous and give her a day off. 500 dhs in this day and age is shocking. Name and shame the agency.......

There definately seems to be a theme going here,we were just looking for alternatives to Arabian Ranches but there doesnt seem to be anywhere else that can measure up to the complex unless anyone has any suggestions.We are looking for a min 4 beds + maids and preferably with private pool We lived on jumeirah islands for 3 years when they were first handed over. We had the most fantastic time there. Great community, loads of children the kids parks arelovely and a lively tennis circuit. Jumeirah ladies group was fun, its close to IBM battuta and easy to get to spinneys town centre but the entrance from both ends was not great. We moved to Arabian ranches and I personally don't think you can beat it for quality build, community, facilities, ease of getting anywhere. If I'd known how happy we were going to be in Arabian ranches I would have moved there a year earlier. It's a far far better location than jumeirah islands. We saw so much more of the city from ar as you are closer o everything except the Marina from ar. I went to visit a friend back in jumeirah islands in June and I was really shocked at how tatty it had started to look. The beautifully maintained and clipped landscaping looked very unkept and it just felt very tired. The club is fab (although almost 5 years late!!!) so although the pools are small you have that lovely facility but......I would stay in ar dubaiden you won't regret it - far easier to get to most places and a much better location in my opinion. <em>edited by Clairehdp on 17/08/2011</em>

So good to hear you are enjoying yourself moo moo hope your son is good too. We haven't had time to miss Dubai although I'm sure e all will when it's cold in the winter. We arrived back and a week later had the removal guys in and moved into our lovely nee home ee are now waiting for our container so by the bank holiday we should be totally straight and the kids will have all their toys back here. We all have new welly boots! We have been fruit picking at the fruit farm up the road, we are eating lovely fresh food from my mums garden. My little girl picked and ate an apple straight from the tree and her face said it all! We are loving being outside and enjoying the light evenings sitting in the garden with great friends. I've never drank so much champagne celebrating our return with friends. We've also had lovely picnics in the parks up the road and shared a nice bottle of White stuff with the mums while the kids re-acquaint themselves with mates from a while ago. We went to get new school uniforms from a shop that had been in the same family for 150 years and it was like 'are you being served'! The most amazing old fashioned customer service ever. I'm also loving ordering an Indian on the phone and it takes a nano second and you don't have to repeat it and you get what you order!!!!! Have had excellent service so fsr but I do mss the funny things that happen on th telephone in Dubai it was part of the charm of living there. Also my mum s staying with me at the moment and to see her face smiling t being so close now is priceless.my dh is back in Dubai at the moment and says it feels odd not to be going back to our villa but we have some truly special friends there and we are already planning to be back in the winter to escape the cold!!
