Last time I checked polo club were temporarily not doing stable tours. They could do a desert hack, I've seen children on them all tied up to the instructors horse.

Actually a faster nipple might be better than a different bottle as he was taking the bottle at one point.

Try a different bottle brand. One that is made to mimic the actual breast. Hope he learns to adapt. Maybe he's teething and not actually hungry, around 5/6 months they become more difficult to feed as they find distractions everywhere, even when they are hungry. So it could be that too.

Most skilled tailors can do it if u give them a sample to copy. It's a good idea as some schools use the worst fabrics and the prices don't even compare to the quality. <em>edited by Cowboy on 30/03/2015</em>

I get a lot of toiletries (toothpaste, lip cream, boxes of bodyform, deo) these products are just not the same here. I've noticed even the same product is just made differently here. I also buy clothing, shoes, candy..

I thought exhale closed down??? Body worx used to have a ladies exercise room. Mostly cardiovascular machines and they had some ladies only classes. But check with them as it just could have been that no men are joining.

The quotation I got for shipping my 50" TV was half the price of a new one. I shipped everything by sea. I'd just get a new one over here, unless it has sentimental value to u or the option to record live TV as they no longer put hard disks in TV's. Periodically here you can get real bargains on the larger sizes.

One of the companies that installs water filters does a free home demonstration, and part of that they test your water for free. If I find their contact details I'll post later. It might be worth just filtering all your water.

I also bought one from ikea a few years ago. It's still in good condition. They had a few thicknesses to choose from, I took the lightest one. As far as I can remember it was reasonably priced. Quality is similar to the one I bought from debanhams.

I was in times square today. Toys r us has a blow up model with a sun shade for 35 dhs, it is for 3+ it looks like it's for boys, it was a police car design. And adventure hq also has one for 180 dhs. It's more of a fold away model. It's for 9-24 months. Google it - swimways baby spring float sun canopy. Hamleys has floaties with the back and neck support for much younger babies, but without the sun shade.

I'm not sure about all schools welcoming book donations. Do you know any specific schools to donate to? I donated my whole Enid Blyton collection to a school. And it didn't seem appreciated or wanted. It was very awkward. I felt that maybe there was some controversy surrounding the author that I was unaware of. I also have lots of unwanted books, feline friends may be good option for non school age appropriate books.

That's really good to know. It's important to me that non-chemicals are used in the ac ducts as I also have a baby, last time I cleaned my ducts the whole house smelled like dettol for a few days!! I'm not sure if that is normal really.

Last year there used to be a good nutritionist in the mediclinic dubai mall. She was a European lady recommended to me by a close friend. However when I finally decided to make an appointment with her, I found she no longer works there. I tried several nutritionists on jumeirah beach road. They all offer unrealistic diet plans with foods I am not familiar with (no idea how to cook) and I feel they are templates they offer everyone. I went to the first expecting to have some blood work done so they could see what vitamins and minerals I need. And I was sadly informed that this needed to be done privately at a hospital. I visited a few others and felt they were not professional. They just put me on the scale, calculate my bmi and tell me basic information that I already know. So after getting all my bloodwork done thinking this was the reason I was not getting sound advice, I visited another nutritionist, also on beach road. She had a quick look stating that I have deficiencies in a list of vitamins and minerals, and advised me to have my doctor recommend me a multi-vitamin. She did not recommend any type of vitamin supplement and she also did not advise me what types of foods I could eat to naturally remedy the problem. I really felt it was a waste of time. If you are thinking of a nutritionist for weight loss I'd recommend using a company like right bite or kcal. First you visit their office, meet with a nutritionist who finds out what kind of diet you should be on, and they tailor a menu to suit your needs and diet preferences, and the best part is they send it cooked to your house or work. I hope you are able to find the right kind of nutritionist for your needs.

Silkor for laser hair removal. Most doctors offices seem to have older machines which are slightly more painful. Most technicians are quite good, however there are some horror stories with technicians leaving burn marks. I'd just avoid dodgy looking places and places offering too good to be true offers. For waxing there are lots of good places in salons and nail lounges. I'd go for somewhere that has been recommended near to your home. Some ladies can be very very slow at waxing which I feel just prolongs the experience. Dial a nail is quite good at waxing if you can't leave the house and want a home treatment.

You could use a company like creative zone to handle all the start up paperwork. Or you could go to the DED and do it yourself. It will take longer to fill out all the forms and meet all the formalities if you do it alone. Also waiting in line at the DED even with an appointment takes a lot of time. You could also go to twar centre and find a cheaper company to handle all the start up paperwork, there are a lot of small offices all next to each other. Your business idea sounds wonderful, there is definitely a shortage in good birth educators here.

You could also park in heritage village, then just take a walk thru that, past some small museums, thru some shops that sell pashminas and other souvenirs, take an abra to the other side and walk to the gold souq,or spice souq. I'd start around 4 or 5pm but I wouldn't recommend eating there, at most just some juice or a coffee.

I'm very angry at champ.. Dry cleaners. They made all my dresses short and wide. They tried to fix them and made them longer with ruffle stretch marks at the bottom and still wide and some have short sleeves. Looks very bad. I'm Very sad that my dresses are ruined. They refused to pay any compensation. It seems they must have laundered my dresses normally rather than dry cleaning them.

Years ago I ordered remotes direct from lg. More recently I lost one of the remotes and needed to get it replaced. Lg doesn't have the same model remote anymore, so I bought a universal remote from dragon mall, it isn't as pretty but it does the job.

The fastest way if you don't know anyone working in that industry is for your daughter to approach the places she would like to do an internship in directly. She could write a cover letter expressing her interest in doing an internship over the summer and attach her cv (it could just include the subjects she's studying and any skills she has). She could visit the hr department in person or give them a phone call to start the process. Hopefully someone will respond. Some banks have formal internship procedures and you can apply online.

I order from them quite frequently. Sometimes the orders arrive quickly, but other times they are late, up to two weeks. The products are always in good condition and they answer their phone and they update the order online.

I don't trust the doctors here, they advocate natural delivery, then when the due date approaches and it is too late to change the doctor they begin to push for a c-section. The saddest part is the hospital reports don't state any medical reason for a c-section but the choice of the patient and it's happened to several mothers I know.

Root rot comes from over watering and no proper drainage hole or rocks at the bottom of the pot. I don't think it's related to the soil.

You could try and have another company fix it. They might be able to give it a temp fix. Or use parts that are not official LG parts that are also compatible. It's expensive to change the whole compressor.

I feel this is really inaccurate. I've been in the ranches for 10 years and I've only ever seen the odd cockroach, and no one around me has ever had a bedbug problem. I see lizards on a daily basis and nothing seems to get rid of them. And also there are so many mosquitoes and bees

I casually mentioned to my gyne that I was always tired, she did a blood test and found I was severely anaemic. I had an iron drip for 5 days then was put on tablets. I didn't feel a difference for a couple weeks after. Might be an idea to check with your gp and have a blood test.
