Thanks CSH. I will try that for sure. My main concern is if the covering is loose and doesn't fit properly. perhaps I should go to an upholsterer. If anyone knows someone who and tried them plz let me know.

Hi DebK, thanks but I already asked and the kids need to be picked up at 12:30. I cant do that with my schedule. I would much rather get him into a school that offers transportation. If anyone has any suggestions plz let me know.

Hey Everyone! I know this topic has been exhausted and everyone hates hearing about the woes of school waiting lists! But I really need any help I can get. We've been on the waiting list for ACS for Kindergarten (son is almost 5) so he's done with KG1 and should be going into KG2. I really had hope a spot would open up since his sister is already enrolled in the school and we've been on the list for months, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. I was planning on the Qatar Academy community school but they want to drop him a year and they don't have a bus service. I tried Compass Rayyan and they dont have spaces, many schools don't even pick up the phone these days. I was thinking of enrolling him in Kid N Around but again i doubt they have a bus and don't know if they have spaces. Anyone know of a school that has spots in KG2 or equivalent? I know this is a longshot but any info. would be great, Thanks.

i had a parcel sent to my street address via empost and they delivered it to my previous work address.... somehow my name was attached to this PO Box - have no idea how they managed it. simply because they do not even read the street address. they just put in into the po box. Well then according to Princess_I the guys who sort the mail don't just discard it if they don't find a PO Box, they actually make an effort?? from what i heard on this thread and from emirates post it will be discarded or sent back. Well this proves theres a third option? I have hope!!

Oh NO!! If my name is attached to the POBox then it will be delivered to my old work address, NOT good! Well I actually sent newlook an email and they confirmed that my number was on there! They used standard delivery because its the only option they have..i didn't know that, i assumed it would be courierd but when I tried to access tracking thats when i discovered it was standard shipping!! Does anyone have a similar story and got a call from the post office? sorry I know I sound like an idiot but I don't know what to do at this point.

Officechick, I have a brand new cloud-nine roller system that I just bought 1 week ago. Its the "gift of volume" and i bought extra 20mm rollers and 2 packs of clips. Original price: The Gift of volume is 1250, 85 for the extra rollers, and 80 for 2 packs of clips. I paid 1415 total. I'm selling it all for 1100. Its brand new let me know if ur interested as I will be exchanging it tomorrow with other things but I would rather get cash back!

ok I called them this morning (customer service of emirates post) and they said either the package will be discarded *yikes* or sent back!! I don't have a tracking number or PObox but my phone number is on the package. Does anyone have a similar experience and actually received their package? No P.O Box and no tracking, just a mobile number...anyone?

yes you can call marie listed on the cloud nine website. even though the wand isn't on the UAE site but she sells it I'm sure coz I called and asked! I just bought TheO from the website and she's very very helpful! I'm looking to sell it now but only coz it doesn't match my hairtype.

Hi, I know a great place but in Deira in AlRas area. They sell all sorts of boxes and gift items etc. Very cheap. They have a website with a map to help you get there, they are near the Gold Souq in Deira, best option is to take a cab and tell him "gold souk". http://www.mab1925.com/ Showroom Details: Al Ras Sheikha Latifa Bldg.Deira, Dubai Mohiddin Al Bastaki co. Gift Accessories Tel : 971 4 2266700

Pastels are very professional and honest. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. I tried sisters and was very disappointed!

I second Cloud Nines. I tried GHD and cloud nine and definitely think cloud nine are superior. They sell them at the Arabian Ranches pharmacy (supercare), seen them at pastels...you can order them online and they will deliver in the UAE for free. I don't use mine now coz I had the kerastraight done so don't really need them these days :)
