You will be fined 50 dirhams each time you pass with no tag. Then when you re-register your car, you will have a big fine to pay before they continue Hi Roysie The tag is registered. I clicked the tolls the other day and was charged. It was when I went through on Thursday that one has registered, it shows when I check on line, but it hasn't deducted the money from the account.

I've searched all previous threads but still cannot find an answer to my query. Why would Salik register me as going through a toll gate on line but I haven't been charged? Or am I missing something?

Hi Sarsoor Sorry but the only question I can help with is the cleaner in JVT. There's a girl on the JVT facebook page works for a company called ECO Green and she can help you with that. Not sure if you're on there but there's a lot of help and advice on it.

Hi Asti You'll get loads of different suggestions for this. I think it's personal preference and what ever suits your type of hair. If I've ever needed one I've used H&S, just look for the one that you feel will suit you best. All I will say is stay away from the 2 in 1.

Thank for all this Marroosh. I would really have hated to miss such a chance to learn about Ramadan, especially as it is the only chance we will have to go to an Iftar this year.

I am going to their organised Iftar and the visit to the Mosque is part of the event. I would hate to miss out on such an experience, especially since this is my first Ramadan here. Obviously I wouldn't be praying, so I would assume that this will be all right. Thanks for your help. <em>edited by Dilys on 24/07/2012</em>

You must cover your shoulders and knees, minimum. You do not need to cover your head to hear the adhan - but they will take you on a tour of the masjid and you will need to cover your head for that. Just take a scarf to put on before entering - you dont have to wear it the entire iftar. if you go to the Masjid will need to cover up totally; no legs or arms on show. The quote from the email you receive when making a booking with SMCC is: "There is a mosque visit as well so please ensure that you and your guests are dressed modestly – ladies bring scarf to cover hair, covered arms, hemline below knee." I do agree with you that islamically it would be more proper to cover your entire arms and legs, but the OP is asking specifically about the SMCC iftar, and these are their stipulations for that occasion. Thanks for this. As someone has booked it for us I hadn't received any email with info on. I will definitely go with the long dress, cardigan and pashmina.

I have just had old cine films and VHS converted to digital and their advice is to keep a master copy of all, then make copies of it whether on CD Rom and/or external hard drive. You can't have too many copies imo. I use Dropbox but only for things that I need to access wherever I am. I agree. What's the cost of a few CDs compared to lost photos.

In the long term it depends what you want to store and why. It also helps with the running of any computer to save stuff externally on hard drives or discs. Less on the memory.

Call me paranoid !!!, but I've always used an external hard drive and most times even copied photos onto 2 separate discs as well just in case. I've lost treasured photos before. It then means I've got at least 3 copies of them, but who cares. <em>edited by Dilys on 22/07/2012</em>

I got a job via the EW jobs page, secretarial, first one I applied for - gosh I was lucky. There was no mention of salary at my particular place of work until the job was offered and the contract sent to me, the perks are not brilliant. I had a figure in mind which would be a starting salary and I got just a little over this. It is no way near what I was earning in the UK, even after the tax there had been taken off. However, it pays for those little extras, the hours and location are convenient to me as I have to consider my 14 year old, and I don't want to be working only to cover the need if I am working of his school bus and any 'baby' sitting etc. For me it is a balance of: wanting to work, do I feel adequately compensated for the job and is the location good for my work life balance. Currently it is. I know I am worth much more than the salary I currently get, but I don't want to be leaving home at 7am and getting home at 7pm and therefore that comes at a lower salary. For the timebeing I am happy. I was offered a job, via a friend, that paid considerably more but I turned it down as it didn't fit with the work life balance that I need with a relatively young teenager. Good luck to all of you, I hope you find a rewarding and fulfilling job. ETA I also do not fit into the young, attractive and thrusting category .... am the wrong side of 45, but I'm good at what I do! edited by cymraes on 19/07/2012 This is exactly my take on the whole working scenario - I know where I definitely don't want to work and will take a reduced salary to achieve the work/life balance by working in an area which is more convenient and closer to home. I worked my a** off in the UK and my relationship almost suffered the consquences and I don't want to do that anymore but by the same token, I don't want to be working for next to nothing. The most important things for me are quality of life, have a job which taxes my brain a bit and is enjoyable. A decent-ish salary is a bonus. I still think my problem is that I'm the wrong side of 50, it was just the same in the UK. Thing is though, I've got no ties (apart from DH) so am happy to work anywhere and full time hours, but I do feel I want the right compensation for my experience. I would at least like to match my net UK salary.

The best way to move around the question of what is your expected salary? is to tell them that you can not mention what is your expected salary until you can evaluate a whole package for example location, timings, other benefits with salary. what is the job description, regular overtime, going out of office, calls after duty etc... and you would prefer them mentioning what is the salary range they do evaluate the job at and you will decide if that is suitable for you. many do provide this information even before you attend the interview so you donot have to waist your and their time.. just need to ask for information... if in an interview and after telling them all the above they still want to know what is your expected salary, you can mention the previous salary details if that is your minimum salary requirements, then they will know what is your boarder line and still do not take a word from you on what you expect from them. edited by loranaji on 19/07/2012 Dilys , I have used the above approach and it did help me during my search. Thanks for this I'll try it when I next manage to get an interview

I have 25 years' experience and have been looking for almost a year for something suitable but I absolutely refuse to work for a low salary. I have found that most prospective employers want to employ westerners but won't pay western salary expectations, or is that westerners have a high salary expectation? what's yore expected salary range? Yes and I really hate that question before I have even had a conversation with a potential employer about the job, expectations, terms, location, hours, etc. I know there are well paid jobs out there but I don't really want to be traipsing through loads of traffic day in, day out (been there, done that!). Don't get me wrong, I am not moaning about a lack of a job (ideal scenario would be part-time or early start, early finish somewhere south of Barsha - not 9am to 6.30pm in Deira!) and given my criteria (restrictive I know) I am more than willing to discuss a salary but as I said, prospective employers want a figure there and then before an conversation takes place. I agree, it's not a good start to an interview when you have to tell them what you expect before you even start. I'm lucky as I have no restrictions and can work most hours, so it must be even harder when you're looking for certain hours and areas. Why? sorry but when a recruitment consultant rings up it's pretty much the first thing i ask them - why waist mine or her time; if they are not offering anything near what i want then no point continuing. salary is not everything to a job.. if you get insurance+ tickets for your self only + with high salary is good .. you can also be offered a less salary + tickets and insurance for whole family + housing maybe... then that can accommodate for the high salary. this is just one example of a situation why you dont want to say what you expect because you might agree for a lower salary if you get high benefits. I'd be more than happy to take a slightly lower salary as long as the benefits made up for it. I've never managed to get that far yet, they always ask outright about the expected salary and then change the subject. I do now say something along the lines of 10,000 AED but dependant on benefits offered.I'd be happy with 1 flight home a year, medical insurance and something towards the housing would be a bonus

I always do that too, so they don't offer me anything with less than that now. It's the jobs advertised elsewhere who often don't advertise their salaries that tend to wait until you get there and ask the question. I've applied for a few from this website, been invited for interview and then been asked what I expect to receive. I would love to say at that point, if my expectations are too much lets end now, but you just never know. If they really want you they may be prepared to pay you what you want.

Do you have experience? Hi....I have over 8 years of experience.... I've got over 30 years experience and am still looking :( I have over 14 and look as well since one year ... I once got told in an interview that they received over 850 apllications on the job out of which around 120 were relevant and interesting and the market was better back then. edited by Nyranee on 19/07/2012 I wonder if the problem is that they can pay less to people with less experience and they realise that people with more experience are expecting higher salaries. Also there are a lot of people out here looking for work.

Dilys- There is no longer any quarantine? OMG DH will be so happy to hear that =) Yes we rescued a dog from Northern Cyprus just before we moved out here. They changed the law in January this year. That's the only reason we were able to bring our 5 pets with us as we knew we'd be able to take them back without the expense of 6 months quarantine. Dilys we have no plans to move back to UK any time soon but its really comforting to know we can take our little baby with us when we do. Were seriously attached to him. Hes such a big part of the family. Even my parents are attached to him. When on skype they will always want to see our cat on the webcam! So I will go get him and they will baby talk to him and funnily our cat actually seems to have full on conversation with them! Tell me about it. I'm sure all our family are more interested in the pets than us. :)

On the whole, Dubai is a very throw-away society and some people tend to treat their pets the same way too. [b'>In my opinion, if you really are not going to give a pet a forever home (and that means taking it with you when you leave), then don't even entertain getting a pet[/b'>. They can be hard work and should not be treated as the next disposable item. I do agree with DB - all my previous cats have been possessed and treated my (their) home and possessions like a giant cat playground, despite them having a flap to roam around whenever they wanted. Unfortunately, I had to rehome my beautiful chocolate burmese before I came out to Dubai - I knew we would be living in an apartment and he had always had 24/7 access to the great outdoors so he would have driven us crazy, trashed the place and been thoroughly miserable. It was the worst few weeks of my life before he went to his new home and I still cry now when I think about him but I couldn't deny him the life he was used to. I am not sure how long we will be here and although I crave the companionship of a cat or small dog, I cannot even think about taking in a pet until we settle somewhere (I am, however, available for dog walking!!!). Cats and very small babies really do not mix well - when my mum was in hospital giving birth to me, the lady in the next bed lost her first born when her cat got in to the child's crib and literally smothered it to death - the cat wanted the warmth and the smell of milk was also a big draw for the cat. People have to give up pets for all sorts of reasons, so lets not judge eh? The OP probably feels rotten enough as it is. This is not possible for everyone. When taking pets back to UK quarantine is stupidly long. My cat suffers from separation anxiety issues so he will get chest infection like colds very easily if hes under stress. It would kill me but I would NOT be able to put him through the long quarantine process bless him. He would be better off with a family here that can love him like I do. There's no quarantine in the UK now as long as your pet comes from a Rabies free country and is fully vaccinated.

The rules here are really strict. It rules out people from most European countries or people who have even visited certain places. The Mad Cow rule definitely applies. It means there is only a tiny percentage of people who can actually give blood so I would check before going down to do it, to see if you're eligible. Shame really as they're in such need. I agree TDB, especially since I bet a number of us from the UK have been regular blood donors there and as one of the others said we were ok over there and they are also very strict who they take blood from. They are not strict here. i lived in the UK at this time and i gave blood two months ago..... Great I'll be more than happy to give it a go. Think I'll ring first as both my kids were born in the 80's, although they were very straightforward births.

I've never seen this rule being practised by grand cinema or any other cinema in the UAE. I understand you have kids and you want to enjoy an evening out but go to an earlier viewing/appropriate movie for kids or pay for a baby sitter! It is a new role and in the Express newspaper today. I seriously hope they enforce it I agree. It's not fair on the kids, never mind any adults going for a quiet night out.

We haven't tried to give blood yet, but I did read somewhere that if you'd had an operation in the UK between those dates you couldn't give blood. Even a minor operation. DH and I have been blood donors in the UK for years now and were hoping to carry on while we were over here.

Back in the UK I had all sorts of SMEG products over the years, fridges, an electric oven and a ceramic hob - personally liked them and never had any problem with any of them. I haven't ever heard of Le Germania, but that's possibly because they weren't imported to the UK?

Hi I would say that if she's doing as she pleases out here, it can't be any worse in the U.S. As long as you keep her in for at least 2 weeks preferably as long as possible, she should settle ok. What we have done with ours when they've moved is butter their paws before they go out for the first time and it's supposed to remind them of their home and help them find their way back. I know it's an old wives tale but it's always worked with our lot. Also regarding the 4 seasons, I'm sure if she has her own access she'll make her own mind up about the weather. Cats are very good at finding their own place when the weather's bad. HTH and good luck with the move.

Taking the kids on the metro today to kill a few hours..... Is moe the best undercover car park? If so where's the nearest place to park for it? Any other good car parks out the sun.? edited by fairycakeyumm on 11/07/2012 MOE allows you 4 hours free parking and you walk through the mall to reach the metro (entrance is above carrefour) Ibn Battuta parking area is directly next to the metro but its exposed to the sun, and Dubai Mall is quite far from the metro itself. You could park in the Nakheel Harbour station next to Discovery Gardens which has a massive car park attached to the metro but its been so empty that I am expecting them to close it. If you heading towards Rashidya destination on any platform make sure you get on the very front of the train because its a glassed front and they will be able to see much more. Enjoy. There is good covered parking at the Geant end of Ibn Battuta on the other side of the road to the Metro

Why don't you go along and find out? I know you can go and use the restaurant and bar and go to classes without a joining fee and that you can pay a daily rate if you want to go and use their pool. It's much cheaper than at the Lakes Club, but the facilities are possibly not as good. Miss Fortune found out the daily non-members' rate there recently, if you do a search.. Thanks for this. We'll probably go and try out the restaurant one night soon. I was really just being lazy by asking.:cool:
