You are not allowed to sell animals in the UAE unless you are licensed to do so, which would be the case if you have a pet shop. Did you breed them to sell? If not why not give them away to people for a fee covering the first vaccines etc. My advise would be not to give them away in time for christmas though, so many animals get given as gifts and the novelty wares out very quickly. i thought i read about licences, thanks for that info. no not bred to sell at all. we hoped that our pair would produce one or two max to keep, this is their first litter, we didnt expect 5! male has now been neutered as the female was quite poorly after the birth with low calcium levels causing problems and then eclampsia, so no more for her,not putting her through that again. they are def. not going before the new year as they are only 10 weeks old in jan. we beleive that they should not leave the litter before 10-12 weeks. so they are def not going to be xmas presents. thanks again for the licence info.

Irrelevant whether she is in a minority or not. She dresses badly and it distracts from her message. Does it, really? i dont agree dress distracts from a message, if people like what they hear they will listen regardless of what you are wearing.

I believe he did the right thing. Britain is looking after it's borders. Sarkosy was shockingly rude. agree he is very small minded to behave like this as a leader - unprofessional.

just go with the flow get them the size you need now, they dont have to be expensive if you plan on losing weight at a future date, if its the label thats bothering you, just cut it out. then no one can see the label, at the end of the day its just a number. you have to love yourself now for who you are, regardless of size and i am speaking from a 5ft person, who is a size 16. you just have to accept yourself in the now. take care.

my grand daughter loved seuss - she loved the rhythm of the rhymes. so much fun. she enjoyed green ham and eggs and cat in the hat. are you my mother by eastman love you forever robert munsch guess how much i love you sam mcbratney just because your little one is just 1 doesnt mean you cant read older books, the act of reading and spending that quality time is so good for bonding - mine used to love it when i did different voices for the different characters in the book. make it fun and read it with enthusiasm. enjoy - the time will go fast and now i would love to have those moments back when they sit on your lap with eagerness to hear a story. i could fit on their laps now ! edited by fairwater on 20/11/2011 <em>edited by fairwater on 20/11/2011</em>

we have got intouch with consumer rights, so we will see where we go from here. i am disappointed with the shop and it would def. put me off ever shopping there again. its bad service and bad policy, so i will be interested to see what consumer rights say. its not like the things in there are cheap. a plate is upwards of 70 dirhams, i dont expect to find chips on them where ever it is.

i also use the no.7 range perfect and protect ( i use the intense range for over 50's) - the serum has really helped with a crepy chest area, so much so that its noticeable to me and my family. i like the range as the day cream also has sun protection too. they do a good microdermabrasion cream in the no.7 range too, but you do need to follow the instructions so you dont rub your skin raw. and they do a good hydrating mask too. when i feel like a change i use elemis pro collegan marine cream range. i always use the elemis apricot cream cleanser and toner it is expensive but it lasts forever - interchanging it with liz earle wash and polish. especially if i have been wearing a lot of makeup. <em>edited by fairwater on 18/11/2011</em>

even if you were to use e45 if you sweat and wipe it off you will still wipe off e45. have you tried a serum, no. 7 protect and perfect on clean dry skin. then over the top use a sweat resistant factor 30 sun screen. you can get some that are a cream and some that are a dry oil, not sticky, this will not only protect you from the sun - regardless whether its winter or summer sun protection is a must. this will also help with wrinkles and sun spots etc. so further protecting your skin for the future.

the only one deserving of any praise as a rock singer was josh, no one else sang rock. it was pathetic. i dont understand if they have to sing from different genres that astro is still allowed to just rap, although i think hes talented i am so bored with him now. if the kids so talented let him prove his merit and sing other than rap - boring boring. i like josh, chris and i like leroy - altho he needs to up the anti a bit. i quite like the usher a like. rachel - cant stand her again - sorry but a kid cant sing a classic song by a legendary group, she reminded me of a kid singing for her parents in the back yard. drew is just so irritating from that horrible winey weird vocal to her baby teeth. lakoda rain just plain rubbish. black lady who cries all the time was awful again this week and i am sick of her silver nail polish - so over the silver now. l. rain and the black woman should be voted off .

the wafi is lovely and at 295 to eat in all the restaurants apart from sevilles is very good. carters roast and live music. medzo italian and relaxing music. not sure about w grill. thai chi. vintage cheese and biscuits. all delicious with different ctails in each venue. all inclusive of the grape and hops as well. the new W grill room has now opened at wafi, havent eaten there yet, its replaced mahi mahi. if you dont mind sitting in the lobby at millenium near the airport the gozo garden has all the seafood/shellfish you can possibly eat - and biggles included in the price also has all the roasts in the bar. this is around 200 for hops nd grapes and food.

a lot of people do have a better lifestyle than back in their home countries but thats not the majority by a long way. what gets my goat is family coming to visit and saying things like, oh they will pay for the meal they can afford it !my son.i.l. is rich (NO!) he works hard for his money. if we were rich we wouldnt be working !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or a choice one my mother saying in earshot to people or family on the phone, its like being in a 5 star hotel with all the service in the house and all the food etc - WHAT SERVICE, its me doing all the work and washing and feeding and running you around ARGHHHHHHHHHH!

the sort that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. we bought a lot of crockery (and other stuff in there and its not cheap!) which they packed, got it home and there were chips on the first 3 pieces out of the 5 we unwrapped, so we took it back within 3 hours of purchase - they refuse to refund the money back to my credit card. they say we have to have a pottery barn gift card. their shop policy does say refunds with p.b. card and exchange within 7 days - thats the first part of their policy. the second half says refund or exchange on faulty goods. we had faulty good, so why no refund. marks and ikea will refund on faulty goods in cash or to your card. this is pathetic, the assistant manager was useless, just repeating policy policy like a stuck record. the manager conveniently wasnt available. by this time they had returned all what we had returned to the shelves, so we came out with nothing. do we have a case with consumer rights dubai? ah i think time for another cup of tea and a pet of my pups.

went to ikea to look for one thing and ended up with lovely thick and heavy plain white cotton curtains ( the sort where the ring is encased in the curtain) and got the white poles i have been looking for, all for under 1, 000 dirhams. so i am very happy. i will have to hem up the curtains as they are way too long and put the poles up, but apart from that they are perfect for the off white/white/cream colour scheme that i am doing.:) <em>edited by fairwater on 16/11/2011</em>
