I thought if they are married and have proof it would be ok ? Is there any Goverment dept I can go to sort this out.

Thanks for the replies, I had a feeling that there would be something, as nothing here is that simple. So I will have to sponsor her so they can use our maids quarter , which if thats the case so be it. Dont want to get fined and deported for trying to help someone!

Hi A friend's maid and her husband are just about to move into our external maids quarters as she needs some where to live ( she has just had a baby and my friend is moving away). The maid is being transferred onto her husbands visa. I am not charging any rent or asking her to work for me and I don't want her to. I'm glad that some one is using the buildings for the summer and my husband wont be alone. I am worried that any part of this situation might be illegal. Is it ? where can I find out? Do I need to sponsor her ? Will this affect our home insurance? All answers are much apreciated TIA

Does anyone know where I can find this ? I have been to Carrefour(MOE,MCC), Spinneys ( Mercato,UmmSq,MC,bin sougat) Tavola(UmmSq,Mercato)and I have also done a search on here. Its for my daughter so she can make mint choc chip ice cream, her favourite. I want to put it in her stocking as we have looked everywhere for it. She will love the fact that Santa has brought her it!

Try Countryway. I cant remember their number but if you google them they should come up. We used them when we lived in the ranches and they were quite reasonable. Just found the number on a search Countryway Landscaping: 04 432 9257. <em>edited by frankiestar on 12/11/2012</em>

My husband goes the football with my kids and they really enjoy it. Matches are always on a night. He said its a family environment but he hasn't actually seen any women at matches, to be honest he probably wasn't looking. He said its mainly men with their young children( girls and boys) in the family area. He looks on the clubs websites for the fixtures.The season has finished now Hope that helps forgot to say there is another Football ground by the airport T2 thats where my husband goes to watch footie.I cant remember name of the club. <em>edited by frankiestar on 01/06/2012</em>

I live in the Ranches. I have also had the water money stolen , it turned out to be one of the neighbours kids.Its not happened again, but recently I have had some one dumping their recycling in my garageport for me to do it. Third time it happened I dumped it all at the security gate and low and behold it hasn't happened since. It turned out to be a gardener that was getting paid extra to do someones recycling and he was just dumping it in my garage port when the car wasn't there. I suggest you go to security ( ring Emaar)and tell them and they will sort out the problem

Hi LesleyG Try the DIAC,(situated on the road between Town centre and the Mercato mall on the Beach road). I am sure they do jewellery design/making classes. Just google them. I get my beads from Deira much better selection than dragonmart. Hope that helps <em>edited by frankiestar on 09/05/2012</em>

Take it from someone who was bullied as a kid . The verbal abuse is alot worse than physical. Please do something about this before it affects your daughters self esteem. The school should have a bullying policy ask to see it. Its their responsibilty to have a safe environment for the kids.

I have a nice landlord aswell. When our AC breaks, we just email him and the guys turn up the same day and fixes it for us at no cost to us. He also does what he says he is going to do. That is why we have stayed in the same villa for 3 years now. :)

I organised a kids party in Safa 2 park generally , There is a notice board in the park. On the board you will see a tel. number that you have to ring up. The guy on the other end takes your name and thats it. Other than tipping the security guy for cleaning up after you.

I bought a deerstalker type hat from Sun, sand ,sport Factory outlet. ( al Quoz). It was A&Finch. I can't remember how much I paid for it. I bought it so my ears would be covered when in Ski Dubai and does the job. It has fur on the inside but the front peak was soft maybe you could insert some stiff card inside to make it point out. hope this helps

I think its not about the type of relationship you have with a man( married ,unmarried ) its the amount of responsibility you share with him. In order of priority kids top the list then pets , then financial etc . If the man is being selfish and not showing respect then it has an effect more so on the children as they learn behaviour from parents.

Happy Birthday I know exactly how you feel because I had the same problem until I snapped one year and just went nuts about how much thought I put into his gifts yet he couldn't be bothered. He was very shocked as he didn't even realise how I felt ! Have you told him ? Men aren't that clever at reading signs unless you are blunt and actually say 'please make an effort because I deserve it'. men aren't psychic

Hi When we did the walk around at DESS in May I was told that there wasn't a bus service to the Ranches as it was too far out and not enough interest. Has it changed ?
