How do you know that your shipping expenses are not outweighing the savings you're making? When you order, you can usually see the weight of your package - or at least make a good guess. Here are the rates. I've often found that it's not worth it to use the SnS account, especially when you know vendors do not consolidate your items. http://www.shopandship.com/ship/countries-rates.aspx Thanks Sakhifa. That's helpful. But if you don't use the SnS account, then how do you ship your goods? By using the normal shipping process of the website you're buying from? DH just orders his shirts from the UK website he's always used. Costs about £15 to have them delivered, no matter how many he orders. So far, so good, they've always arrived in good time and undamaged.

last year we got 12 month notice sent via registered mail (correct avenue) informing us the landlord wanted to move in. We signed a non-renewable contract. We are due to move out end January so prior to the 90 day, we sent an email asking if he still intended to move in and if not, we would like to renew. He replied saying he still wants to move in...... Fair enough. I have since read (again not sure if it's actual fact) that the rent committe don't recognise non-renewable contracts, therefore my question is - if he then moves a new tenant in, can we still take him to the rent committee for compensation..... Or is it a losing battle. many thanks. I would think that because he has given you one of the correct reasons for terminating your contract, you will have to vacate. Not sure how you will be able to check up and see if he does actually move in himself and if he doesn't, and moves another tennant in, I would hope that there is some way you can take it to the rent committee for compensation.

@Geordie Thanks! I've made it known to the LL that I have plans of renewing. But it's good to know evicting me isn't really possible. Just in case, it does go down to court, I've visited the RDSC website. And of course I have questions: [i'>Notarized PoA (Power of Attorney) in favour of person authorized to represent the plaintiff - where and how to get this?[/i'> Sorry haven't a clue about that. Never heard about it before

I have a doubt. In my Tenancy contract, it states: "Renewal of Tenancy is at the discretion of the Landlord. If the Tenant does not renew the Tenancy on the Expiry date he will have to pay the rent as demanded." Is this reason enough for the Landlord to evict me after my contract expires? Not sure what a standard contract actually says (must check ours tonigh), but if I was you, I would contact him at the 90 day point and say that you want to renew on the same terms and condition as last year. That's if you do want to. He definitely can't evict you without the 12 months official notice. <em>edited by Geordie expat on 17/11/2013</em>

@Sanzeveria @Sam7 Thank you, girls. I've been inspired by your posts. I did some research. Made the Rent Calculator work (used only till December 31, 2013 in contract end). And read the law about the 12 month notice before eviction. And let the landlord know I know about these things. Now, I'm waiting for his reply/call according this issue. I'm a little worried though maybe he will stop communicating giving me no chance to renew the contract when it ends on January 2014. If that happens, I have no idea what to do. Anyway, I'll just wait. By December, I should settle this. If I am correct and he doesn't come forward with a new contract, that's when you can turn up at the Rent Committee with your previous contract, any correcpondence (or not as the case my be) and your cheques for the following year. They will take them and then you know you've paid. I'm sure that this has happened before, or something very similar.

We took our LL to court as he tried to kick us out in order to increase the rent, we went to Rera who were very helpful and told us LL cannot make us leave unless he wants to move in himself or wants to renovate the place, in which case he needs to give a 12 months notice first. If his reason is he wants to move in himself, he cannot rent it out for 12 months, meaning he cannot register a tenancy contract for 12 months and he can only get DEWA in his own name for the next 12 months, so there is no way out. If he says he wants to renovate he needs to get prior permission from the municipality for the reno, before he can give the 12 months notice. So we took it to court and won. go to Rera for any issues, they will tell you what to do about it. I thought the rent committee dealt with this not RERA. I am confused now Me too. Either the Rent Committee or this new thing they've set up.

With the first we went on a coach trip on his 5th day (first day home from hospital) because we'd had it booked for ages and he was early...from then on I took him out most days if only for a walk round the block...I was an Avon lady so I used to take him out for deliveries, made sure I had a pram with a huge basket underneath !! lol. When the second one came I had no choice but to take him with me on the school run straight away - which I did on foot with him in a sling, then later in a buggy... For me it's the most exciting feeling - walking out with your new baby, showing him the world for the first time and it cant be soon enough...no reason to put it off... my Mum had four of us and no help as Dad worked away. I don't remember any of us missing school due to Mum giving birth When I had my second I was out shopping the following day and taking the elder one to school. No choice. We also went to the local Mums and Babies group immediately, or I would have gone stir crazy in the house all day on my own. <em>edited by Geordie expat on 17/11/2013</em>

Have you been to Victoria's Secret? They are not as expensive as I thought. The staff in the fitting rooms are excellent. They have one of every style in every size in the fitting room and will advise on size and type to get you the best fit. They have great sales too. I can second Victoria's Secret. Went in for the first time yesterday and couldn't fault them. They took time and found me exactly what I wanted.

I tried Gellish to help with broken and splitting nails and they are just as bed now I've gone back top normal mani and polish. I'm now trying Sally Hanson products to harden and strengthen my nails.

Hi N0rdique I'm over 50 and use the same routine I've always used, with one exception. Cleanse. tone and moisturise morning and evening, except since I moved here I tend to cleanse twice in the evening, once when I get in and again with the full routine before bed. I have been a Clinique girl for years, but since coming here have slowkly changed to Clarins, make-up the lot as I found it felt better on my skin and I was much happier with it.

Also have you ever seem the damage that can be caused, if you have had a Henna tattoo in the past and then dyed your hair. Really horrible and at times life threatening. . what do you mean? Here's the warning from Clairol 'By law we must put a warning about tattoos on the packaging of all hair colorants. This is because many permanent colorants contain an ingredient called PPD (paraphenylenediamine), which is sometimes found in tattoos. PPD is the ingredient in colourants that is often linked to allergic reactions, and so the use of PPD is very strictly regulated. Certain temporary henna tattoos, primarily the darker and black ones, can induce an allergy which can become evident the next time you color your hair. Many of these temporary "black henna" tattoos have been shown to contain the same ingredients used, legally and safely, in hair colorants, but at much higher concentrations which remain on the skin for a long time. It is important to remember you can develop an allergy to a hair colorant at any time, even if you’ve never had any problems before. Scientists have recommended that PPD should not be used in temporary tattoos, as this can cause someone to develop a reaction to this ingredient. An allergy to PPD can develop at any time. Although we don't recommend a time from when you have had a henna tattoo until when you can colour your hair, we do recommend that you do the Skin Allergy Alert Test at least 48 hours before using a hair colorant . ' Sorry I can't find any pictures of what can happen, but believe me it can and does. I've seen photos of girls with their eyes and face so swollen that they thought they may never see again. Certain doctors, liken it to anaphylactic shock and you know what can happen with that. <em>edited by Geordie expat on 13/11/2013</em>

To some people taking offence and being affronted is a hobby. Regarding tattoos being haram, what makes henna tattos not-haram? I see many covered ladies with henna on their hands and feet and have often wondered. There is a huge difference between henna and an ink tattoo. Ink tattoos are permament and the ink ends up in your blood stream. A henna tattoo is superficial and fades in a few weeks. Ink tattoos are damaging to the skin, henna isn't. Sorry but I beg to differ on that. Henna can still seep into the blood stream even though it isn't permanent. Also have you ever seem the damage that can be caused, if you have had a Henna tattoo in the past and then dyed your hair. Really horrible and at times life threatening. But although I dislike seeing tattoos, each to their own.

I went to Salalah for 3 nights over Eid and personally have to say we were a tad disappointed. Maybe because friends we spoke to had hyped it up we had high expectations but actually found it quite dull. The Marriott is in 70s time warp and needs a good coat of paint. Hotel food and service was mediocre we ended eating in town and that was just okay (the pizza restaurant and the Lebanese). The two half day tours we did were interesting but because we went over Eid, unfortunately a couple of the museums and places of interest were closed. Perhaps we should have gone during the monsoon season when it is supposed to be really lush. We flew there direct on FZ. I have had a more interesting time in Muscat. That's such a shame to hear as we were looking forward to a few nights just chilling in the hotel and by the pool.

I posted a thread in hope that somebody here may be able to point me in the right direction in terms of finding a new opportunity and some lovely ladies did just that so thank you. It's a shame though that those who have no intention of helping feel the need to sabotage a thread and scrutinise others. I think it was just a friendly tip that if you are trying to "sell" yourself in the job market then first impressions are important...Listing your years of experience in a senior position could be seen to be undermined by your posts containing several grammatical errors.. My apologies if you are posting in your second language...sometimes hard to tell on a forum with so many nationalities... I completely agree with this as you never know who is looking at this forum. On a personal note I would have just come back and said thanks for ALL the help.

That's why I know how good nail polish remover is. This year I only, very gently stuck the top part of the sticker on the windscreen and them removed it as soon as we returned to the car.

ETA found this, seems you can fly direct to Salalah from Dubai with fly Dubai. Flight Information Flights to Salalah operate three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. FZ039 departs Dubai Terminal 2 at 1620hrs, landing in Salalah Airport at 1820hrs local time. The return flight, FZ040, departs at 1920hrs, arriving in Dubai at 2130hrs local time. edited by mum2girls on 11/11/2013 So I didn't dream it. That flight hasn't shown up on any of my searches.

Should a renewed tenancy agreement be registered with Ejari? we signed the standard tenancy agreement for the 2nd year and also a separate document confirming that the tenancy will not be renewed after the 12 months. should we register the new contracts with Ejari? the agents did not ask us to do so! The LL is supposed to do it however you can You need passport, title deeds and tenancy contract cost AED200 I think I don't even think non renewables contracts are legal even if you signed a separate document saying your tenancy contract cannot be renewed we have copies of the necessary documents from last year, so the tenancy agreement has to be registered with Ejary every year? even if it's with the same LL and it's the same apartment? I actually don't know the answer to that question but would assume that you don't have too I would hope not, or that's another AED 200 approx to pay out every year, if you stay put.

A friend of ours was advised not to sign a non-renewable and they stuck to that and ended up signing a normal one, but were given 12 months notice. It now remains to be seen what will happen next year, as the LL has more than one property so has more than one place to move into.

• If the tenant does not intend to vacate at the end of the agreement (giving 90 days notice) and the tenant remains in occupancy, the tenant shall pay the rent as demanded by the landlord. There is nothing in the contract about me having to give notice, just if we dont give notice of 90 days, the landlord can delightfully DEMAND rent. I honestly can't see that standing up to the rental calculator, or all landlords would have that inserted into their contracts. Just another thing. You've quoted your February 2012 contract. Do you not have the most recent one? <em>edited by Geordie expat on 10/11/2013</em>

I still don't think he has anywhere to go on this as he hasn't given you any form of notice, and that's the main bit, so the contract should just roll on for another year. If I was you, I would just let him know that you will be renewing on the same terms as last time. <em>edited by Geordie expat on 10/11/2013</em>

Thank you Sarahlou! The 90 days notice period was last week and we didnt receive anything, so i can assume we are in the safe zone and he can not 'demand' anything? You have to give 90 days notice of your intent to stay, I think?!? We did, just to be on the safe side, and it kept him sweet as he allowed us to increase our number of cheques :)

Both of these pieces of information are new to me. I have had friends take LL's to the Rent Committe, and win, when they have tried to get them out with less than 12 months notice. They were also told they could only serve the notice from the end of one contract and the start of another.

As far as I am aware he cannot give you 12 months notice until the end of your contract and then, as has been said he has to specify one of about four reasons, why he needs you to move out. So if your contract ends mid-July 2014 you should get 12 months notice, taking you to mid-July 2015,

We had the same but that was back in August and the first day of Eid, didnt realise it was a new rule :( We had the same problem and when we called 20 mins before hand we were told there was a 45 minute wait. My DH asked how this serves us better (the phrase they use I think), the guy kept saying but it does serve you better, DH asked how and the guy finally admitted it serves them better as a company. Apparently lots of people were booking but not being there for pick up or being asked to wait for 30/60 mins. We will try careem when we next fly. We've been using them since they first stared up and I wouldn't go back to taxis. My heart can't stand the stress when I need to be somewhere for a specific time and the taxi never used to turn up even though I would always give myself an extra half an hour or more :)
