Did you see where it ran to? It could be hiding under kitchen cupboard fascias? If so get some traps and lace them with peanut butter, set them under there, that should catch him (pest control in the uk told me that mice love peanut butter for some reason??)

I like her music, however, i have to say she is a strange creature, its all the competitve business in the music industry that does it they are all trying to outdo one another, going to an award dressed completely in Meat whacky to say the least, some of these celebrities should really just try being themselves for a change and give up the whacky stuff. Edited to say, wouldnt it be a refreshing change if one of these celebrities / musicians turned up to awards wearing a nice pair of jeans and a nice top?? Pretty much like the rest of us. <em>edited by egg on 16/02/2011</em>

Oh the joys of Gallbladder issues.. after many month sof suffering i had mine out last year at MedCare hospital Safa park best thing i ever did, in surgery for a few hours but had key hole (took me a while to wake up) have 4 scars two under breast area one side of abdomen and 1 inside belly button, was out the next day no complications except a bit sore for about a week, have never felt better, there are certain things i cant eat though now as it makes me throw up anything too fatty and i am vomitting (nice) but i suppose its a blessing means i dont eat anything too fatty (occasionally). Good luck you will feels miles better after having it removed.

Urban Male Lounge at Mall of the Emirates is good. Hubbie had a massage there a couple of weeks ago and liked it. I shopped and we had lunch together at PF Changs afterwards! He's also been to ManAge in JBR and thought the massage was very good. FFx thats the one i meant always call it NStyle Men as its part of N Style next door Lol

I was going to N Style in Marina Mall and at DIFC but now I have stopped using them. I paid 170aed for a mani/pedi (french) and it never seems to be a good job. they dont give your feet a good scrub and they have stopped exfoliating your feet with the gel. instead of using the fizzy balls that whiten your nails they just drop cheap soap in the water now. its just a real hash job. Its a chore as it is going for mani/pedi, the least they can do is do a good job I found Manuella salon in the Marina is very good, she scrubs your feet for ages and its more of a treat. The only downside is that the beautician in there is obviously bored and trys to get you to have treatments all the time. Gets on my nerves after a while, now many times you gotta say no! Oh dear, i had a few issues with the mani at N style, always ended up wth really sore cuticles and i like a good foot scrubbing, i am happy with AR tips and toes, they do a goo djob and its quite relaxing and peaceful in there, i dont mind paying the price for it, its my only treat i really spend money on myself for anyhow, rest of my salary goes on DS DH and the house Lol :)

:( i've had such a terrible experience at T&T on the palm. I did at the palm one but the one at AR is fine. You could try N Style in MOE they are quite reasonable from what i remember.

Thanks Ladies, i did opt for the cheaper material as they are really only for show, didnt think of Ikea making the curtains are they any good? The problem is the windows are huge in terraced apartments as they are sliding doos / windows combo, might give dragon mart a go i only want plain beige coloured fabric as i dont want to start changing all my furnishings just something neutral. Cheers

Rud loads of warm soapy water into them, really wet them and let them soak for a while and then use a plastic scraper (like the edge of a fish slice or something similar) to scrape them off. Tried it, but it took the paint off, i used a soft plastic device i found in the drawer, might have to have a domestic goddess weekend and attack them :(

Its nice not to hve to worry about chipping them which i dont now. My only gripe with t & t is the seating arrangements, i sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable sat opposite someone and sometimes people just look at you as there is nowhere else to look Lol, just me typical brit i think. I do however, like the t & t at Arabian Ranches a lovely girl called florivita? has done my last 2 Gelish and did a great job. plus its near home and i can get late appointments there.

I believe that the Gel is conditioning for your nails and so long as you have it removed properly (unlike me who peels it off whoops) you should be fine, my nails have grown remarkably well and are very strong im loving my new nails :) Edited for spelling dur :) <em>edited by egg on 08/02/2011</em>

Well i have been and had it twice now and really like it although there are not many colours to choose from, lasts very well no chipping and no drying which is the best part as i always end up smudging/chipping straight after placing hands in the dryer i am clumsy. Worth the money to me in and out in less than 40 minutes :)
