Yes it can take some time. We've had varying numbers of cats since 2006 and it's always been fun. Out of the three we've got now, two are from 2006 and the other was a pressie for Mr GE in 2008. We've had others inbetween but unfortunately at one point it got so bad we let our eldest DD have another two and everyone is living in delightlful harmony now. Well most of the time ;)

I wondered when this would start ;) We're taking the dogs to the vets tomorrow for their rabies vacs and that's it. Boring weekend in the house.

Thank you. My children are 4 and 6 and yes they are well aware animals are to be treated as you do humans, with respect and love. Be playful but cautious and never to be rough or tease an animal. I suppose my main concern is whether when it's trained I am able to take it out in the desert with us and let it off its lead to run and play. I guess my thoughts are whether a) this mix would be too independent to train effectively for being outside and with the family and b) whether a puppy who's small would be better because it won't appear so big at first to my cats! It's not a big dog, and apparently fully grown, just about knee height. And they think she's fit a lovely temperament, quite nervy at first on walks but can already sit for treats Etc... And been good with kids in the foster walkers house. Originally we wanted a cocker spaniel but the fact there are so many poor little things in a shelter weighed too heavy on my mind!! :( We were told we shouldn't have a Jack Russell as they are notorious for disappearing down rabbit holes and never being seen again. I can honestly say, he has never once even attempted to chase a rabbit when we lived in the UK in Kielder Forest and he was never walked on the lead. It all boils down to the training they get from the start. Don't rush it and don't put pressure on her or yourselves. If you do want professional help I can highly recommend Laura at Positive Paws.

Perhaps clear all the history and cache in your brower, turn off and leave it for a while. That would be preferable to a call/visit to the bank :) It may come back all of it's own accord.

I can remember the very first post I put on here, asking about furniture stores, so I had an idea of what and where to look when I came out. I have no idea what happened, but it was deleted overnight!!!!!

We've had out chipped CCs for some time now and no we didn't have to do anything with the online banking at all. Just cut up the old cards and started using the new ones straight away. Sounds as if a phone call or a trip to the bank may be needed :(

All I can say is that dog's aren't born bad, it depends on how they're brought up, but yes there are genes to consider. We brought a rescue dog from Northern Cyprus, never met her before, she was roughly 18 months old and had been travelling for 5/6 weeks to get to us. We then had to introduce her to our JR and three cats!! The JR was wonderful from the start. The cats just took one look and disappeared for a while, but they were the same when we introduced the JR. We didn't even bother to try and keep them separate, just made sure the cats had somewhere to go out of the dogs way. As long as you're patient and give her lots of time and love and don't expect miracles it will be fine. You don't say how old your kids are, but if you already have cats then I'm sure you've taught them not to treat them as toys.

Ouch. That's one of the reasons I hate seeing people out here on bikes. Majority must have no thought for themselves or their families the way they dress. Not that I'm saying your Dad was like this. <em>edited by Geordie expat on 13/03/2014</em>

UPDATE : Thanks for help girls - tougher than I thought In the meantime.... He keeps going to the Pub ... All of them! His wife in uk ... waiting for him to get a job etc., I now have my teenage son back (he's 31) :( hungover, messy bedroom etc., It's not even weekend!! Not much job search goin on here :'( Help Do what we did when we had friends over and they kept wanting to go out. We converted the price of every drink back to GBP - that put the brakes on ;) I have friends visiting for the 1st time in May and I told her Husband who is nearing the end of his 22 years how much a pint is here. He nearly fainted! Going from drinking in the Mess and at Sqn Bars with twofers, it is a shocker to even pay bar prices in pubs in the UK, let alone here. Any good ex-mil can sniff out happy hour here at 50 paces! When I lived in Germany we paid the equivalent of 40 pence for a double voddie in the mess. :-) Oh the days Our social club back home in the village is a little like that even now, no need to ever go to the bright lights of the city ;) And it stays open as long as there is someone in :)

We met him many years ago at Silverstone and he seemed a really nice 'boy'. I just feel that he now expects to win all the time, but if he can prove himself I am willing to be persuaded. I also felt it was turing into the Schumi years, when he would win no matter what and was quite hated for it. Although I did change my mind about him when he came back, he seemed to be quite human :) Yes I will never forget the Massa bolt incident, it scared me nearly as much as when Mark went flying in the air. I think we may have to play this as a race by race champoinship to start with especially because of the Renault engines, which seem to be c**p.

I'm hoping that the finger waving German struggles this season, especially after all the problems in pre-season testing. I'm hoping to see Massa win at least one race and I have a feeling it may be Mercedes or perhaps McLaren for the Champoinship. PS there is a rumour going round, that said German will be jumping ship if he doesn't win like he has done. Talk about toys and pram

Out of interest, when did he become *big* in the UK? Seriously, I am interested. I lived there from 03-08 -- then moved here -- and he was pretty small potatoes then, so if it's in the last few years, good on him. He's got a certain something, I have to say. It happened mainly after you left the UK. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bishop_(comedian)

Arghh is there anywhere else other than timeout online where. I can purchase tickets! I have tried online since yesterday morning to buy 2 tickets and it will not work. I have tried my credit card, my husbands credit card, called the bank who say there is no problem their end, called time out who say they have no problems grrrrrr Not sure if this is possible, but have you tried the timeout office in Tecom, or some places may call it Media City. It's just opposite the entrance to the multistorey car park (I think). I'm sure if you google it you'll see the location better.

Thought I might know GE, but my GE is male (shock horror - and sorry GE!). Rhod Gilbert is my favourite - we were looking for John Bishop on You Tube last night, and we ended up with Rhod instead (the duvet one), as we always do! Oh, and yes I do drink - [b'>but obviously these days have to keep an eye out for the nearest loo when on a night out![/b'> I really can't say what I'm thinking right now ;)

Got tickets yesterday too - though the article on Dubai 92 suggested that he's really unknown here... And it got me out of Black Sabbath :-) There didn't seem to be any explanation of the different price bands - cheap seats for us! I imagine he will be. You should meet with GE and I before for some grape ( That is if you drink) I would love for Peter Kay to come. I saw him years ago and he is still one of my favourites I would really have loved to see Black Sabbath too, but as I was told by Mr GE I've seen them numerous times in the past and never seen John Bishop. Yes I too would love to see Peter Kay, he's a brilliant stand up. Yes putting more faces to names sounds good to me :)

I do agree with the others that they are only for occasional use. My cousin had one back in the UK and used it regularly, till it packed in. It then cost quite a bit to repair and she was without a washing machine for a couple of weeks. And I doubt you will need that right now ;) Can you not get a smaller one which would stand on top of your washing machine, then at least you could come home to some dry clothes. Or to be honest I quite often put my airer in the living room during the day and come home to dry clothes that way.

Any explanation what the event is all about, somehow behind news! He is a comedian from the UK. Early 40's so my age group ( [b'>He has amazing teeth[/b'>) He recently raised over a million pounds for Comic Relief and comes across a really nice family guy. :-) Yes he has got lovely teeth now you come to mention it.

All I will say is we have a washer/dryer and I have only ever used the dryer cycle once :( Our's is on an inside wall and works fine, but yes you do need to be careful if you have a full load and the drying needs there to be more space in the machine to work properly. I think I paid the salary of all DEWA employees in one bill!!!

We went last year through Lime & Tonic and had three free food vouchers. We were allowed to exchange them for whatever we wanted to at any restaurant. I would think that this year will be the same, no restrictions on the food vouchers. Sorry can't help with the drink though. If we do go again this year I would definitely not bother with the VIP area, there are plenty of bench seats and tables etc to sit at.

I saw some at outlet mall Columbia and the big sports store upstairs close to it Thanks, though directions!!!! It is on the Al Ain road past Silicon Oasis I think http://dubaioutletmall.com/contact-us All I can add to this is that we go along the Bypass road, passed the large swimming pool complex and turn off to the right when you can see the archway (on the right) which was meant to be Universal Studios. Then the Outlet Mall is on your right, you can't miss it.

GE too much good stuff on UK telly now so I go into hibernation mode By the time we get in, do some exercise, have dinner and walk the dogs, that's our night over. Where do you find the time ? I go to the gym at 6am and am home by 6pm so my night is my own. I don't have any pets either Friends come round and raid my fridge and cupboards and watch some TV I struggle to see 6am but wish I could as that would save the exercise at night. And don't finish till 6pm :( I use to exercise at night but find I have far more energy first thing although I do love my bed ha The only time I'm out of bed early is for F1 or MotoGP, and then it's just as far as the sofa ;) <em>edited by Geordie expat on 11/03/2014</em>

Thank you for your replies. It does not have to be licenced we are in Tecom area but will travel around. The Montgomerie has a nice bar and restaurant overlooking the driving range. I haven't been for a while but they usually have some classic English dishes on the menu. I also like Maison Mathis at Arabian Ranches golf club and they have just changed the menu so lots of new dishes. For a casual breakfast or lunch the Sports Cafe at Jebel Ali Hotel is nice, especially if the weather is nice to sit overlooking the Marina. If you have the blue entertainer book there are vouchers for the Dhow and Anchor or Latitude which have a British theme buffet one evening per week. For more upmarket dining there is Rhodes Twenty 10 at Le Meridien Fish and Chips at the monty last week was AED 150!!! That's 24 quid!!!!!!! And that's one reason I never convert back when we do go out ;) That is why I go to cheap places ha....:-) Yes, but you're younger than us and go out more ;) Not anymore. I cant remember the last time I went out out ha. Prefer concerts and weekend hotel stays. I'm not that much younger than you :-) and I never go out mid week as its a school night haha Same goes for us on School nights and a weekend hotel stay sounds just the ticket :) <em>edited by Geordie expat on 11/03/2014</em>

Yes I agree, [b'>make sure to tell her she can use the/any toilet if she needs to[/b'>, and that she is welcome to take water from the cooler. In my experience she will not be likely to take food, or make herself a tea and definitely won't sit at your dining table or on your couch to eat/drink it but she might take you up on a can of pepsi or a biscuit etc if you leave it out for her and say it is hers. I have always been astounded at how little water my maids have seemed to drink. I initially found the maid thing super awkward and always used to try and get out of the house or be busy doing something as I felt really rude just sitting there while someone cleaned, I also struggled with being called madam, but after a while I realised these were my issues not theirs and got over them. Best is to be polite and direct. Speak very simply and specifically because you will get a lot of "yes madam"s that translate to "I have no idea what you mean". So simple things like "clean out the kitchen cupboards" can be wildly misinterpreted. After a while you will settle in to being a lazy expat like the rest of us and lift up your feet while she vacuums under them. ;) Please do stress this as I saw my neighbours maid 'going' in the garden one morning and then using the leaves off the tree to clean up. Obviously I called and told her (she was very embarrassed about it) and when she spoke to the maid, the poor girl hadn't been very well and was scared to even ask to use the toilet.
