well most parks have a particular area that is most suitable to host a small party... like under a gazebo or on a slightly raised area or close to bbq pits... so it's always best to book! the booking is FREE... so why not get it done and be assured of your spot! plus is also helps to know how many other parties are happening at the same time so you can estimate how crowded the park will be As someone who has held two parties in parks in the past I can tell you that your spot is never assured. You cant reserve/book an area. Its first come first serve. Some people send their housemaid the moment the park opens 8:00 to go and take a gazebo or area that is coveted until the rest of the people come at 11 or 12 to set up. The maid will then sit there for hours playing with her cellphone and chase away any people who even come near the gazebo. the key to avoiding this situation is to make friends with the security guard at the park... and try and not pick the larger ones like safa... best is to go to the smaller community ones likes Safouh Park, Safa 2 park, Satwa park, etc... there the security guy can actually monitor all areas so will know when anyone ventures into your booked area... the people who send their maids to book a spot early won't venture out for park parties till late november/december (as they are often the ones who dont want to stand out in the heat anyway!!) hehehe just my assumption...

Bags in Daiso start at AED 7/- per bag... which is quite pricey in my opinion!!! There are cheaper places to get bags... any of the discount stores (lots in karama and deira)... for example, DAY TO DAY in Karama sells gift bags for AED 3/- onwards and prices vary depending on size of the bag... only problem is that they might not have the whole 50pcs in one style that you're looking for... If you want to buy in bulk best place to go to is Dragonmart... the stores there have large quantities of identical bags! :) and prices there are AED 3/- onwards... the specific shops for bags and gift boxes is Zhongdi trading (Shop No. FAAA22 or Shop No. GBB 10,11) in DragonMart If you want convenience and are prepared to pay a higher price per bag then go to Party Centre in Garhoud and they do a variety of colours and sizes but the bags are crazily priced from 10/- and upwards for a tiny bag!

although it's still quite hot during the day the late afternoons are quite pleasant... why not look at one of the Dubai Municipality parks in your locality... you can contact [email protected] to request for persmission at the park... you will also need to then go to that particular park and make an entry in the booking register held with the security guard and also let them know of the exact location in the park that you would like to book out... following that you can either arrange decorations yourself or get one of the party suppliers to come in... lots of the bakeries do lovely mini snacks (sausage rolls, quiches, mini sandwiches, pastries, etc.) and of course there's the highlight - cake! :) if you need any additional advice send me a mail on [email protected]

not sure whether they cover the Marina area but my DDs go to M&S sports and I'm very happy with the progress they've made... classes are around 4 per class and classes last for around 30 minutes... we have done classes with them at JESS Jumeirah and Safa School... lovely friendly staff!

Babyshop & MOTHERCARE have the plain white ones... but if you want something cheaper then try RED TAG or MAX (but can't guarantee that they have the white coloured one!) do you require bottles (cheap plastic types) for any games? i have loads that i could sell off (also used once for a baby shower!)

I have just seen a young girl with a fantastic figure come out of an EK crew building White dress with a black thong underneath. I doubt she realized it is on display for all to see! or hasn't turned around. Huge Faux pas! hehehehe maybe it's a really expensive branded thong that she just wants to show off! :) #wishingihadafantasticfigure

assuming you're okay with apartment living why not look at shk zayed road... you will get a 3 bedroom plus maids room for 130K and you will be right in the centre of all the buzz... if you choose the stretch on the same side as Shangri La you get access to Satwa park (lovely little park with lots of area for kids)... plus almost ALL the buildings on that strip come with spacious baclonies, pool, gym, squash courts, partyhall/children play area and 24hr security... we live in skyline residence and it's a lovelyyyy tower! :)

gulf news (the only newspaper my company follows when announcing holidays) says that the days are Mon Tue Wed (basically first day of holiday is the Hajj day and then two days of eid)... that depressingly means that i will have to work on sunday and then again on thursday... any sickies taken on those days wouldn't go unnoticed at work :( Gulf Nes says: Abu Dhabi: The first day of Eid Al Adha is expected be on Tuesday October 15 in most Islamic countries, according to a statement from the Islamic Crescents’ Observation Project (ICOP). The statement said: “The sighting of the crescent should be possible in most regions of the world with the naked eye on Sunday October 6 2013, therefore it is predictable that day will be the first of Dhu Al Hijjah 1434 AH, and therefore the 10th Dhul Al Hijjah 1434 AH, or Tuesday October 15 2013, is expected to be the first day of Eid Al Adha.” http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/general/first-day-of-eid-al-adha-expected-to-be-october-15-1.1237196 Yup first day of eid is TUE but the day before ARAFAT DAY (MON) and this day marks the last day of Hajj and hence will also be a holiday... sooooo... basically, as i said before, the private sector will get 14th, 15th and 16th as a holiday... which means Mon, Tue, Wed

Prednisolene is a corticosteroid and this type of steroid is naturally produced by the adrenal gland in your body anyway to keep infections at bay... it is basically prescribed to reduce allergic-type reactions in your body... it's only recommended for short term treatment and has immediate effect (which is why OP noticed the immediate stopping of the cough) Singulair on the other hand is a leukotriene and is basically used as a long term prevention of asthma triggered by allergies...it only works after two weeks of taking it daily so is more a preventive measure than an instant cure...

Hmmm... we used to have a similar situation with ours... very small things really... toothpaste, talcum powder, deodrant, even tins of rainbow milk!! i just made some general comments at home as how things seemed to be finishing so fast and how expensive the supermarket bills were becoming and how i couldnt find something i knew i had kept there... guess after my incessant harping she got the hint and now fewer things appear to be 'misplaced or missing'... worked for us... maybe it will for you too...

also have a look at RED TAG... their baby section seems to copy off their entire line from Carters!! quality is not great but basically if you're looking for clothes just for everyday use then it fits the mark like Primark... tights / tops on sale at Red Tag only cost around 9/-... MAX stores are also on the same price range

thanks for your reply... we'd be more than happy to hold your hand through the experience though it will end up as the blind leading the blind adventure! :) we're a crazy bunch of couples with a few kids under 6... so quite a noisy bunch... i read some previous posts that people had purchased their gear from carrefour so i might give that a look... not sure about their quality though as some foldable chairs we bought a long time ago for the balcony crushed into a little aluminium puddle when one of us sat on it!! we are thinking of going during the eid break so vouchers would be of no use... just trying to find out where we should go... cant see us doing more than one night... and ideally we'd like to go where other campers are going so that we have a backup if we end up forgetting something or just land ourselves in an emergency hmmmm cant say i'm too thrilled with the idea of going to the loo with a shovel... but i guess that's all part of 'roughing it out'!!

i completely feel for you... we've been living with the same for yearssss and as a matter of eliminating items from our DD's environment we were able to reduce the night time coughing... it's basically a simple case of identifying the triggers and being prepared for them... DD's pediatrician had initially suggested Zyrtec and it definitely worked at keeping the cough at bay but that was only because it pretty much drugged her off to sleep (as any typical antihistamine does!) However, after her being on repeated cycles of this i took her to a specialist pulmonologist... one look at her and doctor suggested asthma (and here I was thinking that asthma patients only wheeze!! i had no idea there was such a thing as asthmatic cough)... so the pulmonologist went through the following tests: - inhalant allergy testing (she tested positive on the counts of dust & mites) - lung capacity test (tested positive to asthma) - typical physical exam (revealed dark cirlces under eyes, whistling sound in chest cavity... all typical signs of asthma) Anyway... she went on long term treatment of singulair and we resorted to the nebulizer with ventolin for any majoy attacks... two years down the line the nighttime coughing is completely under control... she is completely off all medication and only has to have the nebulizer on particularly bad days of very high humidity or dust storms (if she's directly exposed to it)... Do all the standard hygiene checks at home... - hot wash of all linen - deep cleaning of AC ducts (even if you dont switch them on) - full cleaning of the air purifier used in the room - keep away all scented candles/perfumes from the child's room - no soft toys/heavy curtains etc - air out all pillows, etc. I second the Vicks under the soles of the feet!! works wonders though i honestly have no idea how it works! I personally don't use the VICKS brand... we use a much milder version from Mustela called 'Soothing Comfort Balm' All the other recommendations made so far help too... from steam inhalation, honey, ivy leaf extract (prospan)... but the most important thing is identifying the cause of the coughing... supressing it will only give you temporary relief... hope your DD gets better sooon...

she could get an office assistant job but as mumcurious mentions it will not solve her accommodation status (if she wants her husband to be allowed to stay with her)... companies do offer staff accommodation even to entry level staff but these are also sharing accommodation and only for single ladies or single men... just saw this on dubizzle so probably worth her calling up to check http://dubai.dubizzle.com/jobs/accounting/2013/9/23/accounting-assistant-2-3/?back=ZHViYWkuZHViaXp6bGUuY29tL2pvYnMvYWNjb3VudGluZy8%2FaXNfc2VhcmNoPTEmaXNfYmFzaWNfc2VhcmNoX3dpZGdldD0xJmtleXdvcmRzPQ%3D%3D&pos=14

lots of lovey florists out there... but it really depends on your budget... for high end, premium flowers, get in touch with Contempo Dubai, Oliver Dolz, etc. for medium range, creative florists get in touch with Bliss Flowers, Vintage Bloom, Mayflower, Wud, etc. for more cost friendly options try Jenny Flowers, Black Tulip, etc. <em>edited by HorizonMum2 on 23/09/2013</em>

mushypeas is right... get in touch with Asteco, Al Kawakeb and Arenco... they are the ones who own the older compound villas in the satwa/jumeirah/ummsuqeim areas... you are likely to get an independent villa at a slightly more competitive rate (145K) if you check on dubizzle and by the time you pay the commissions, etc it will be up 160K so should fit into your budget. there are currently only TWO compound villas being advertised on dubizzle for your area of choice... both are recently renovated (one is behind Al Ghazal Mall in Satwa and the other is close to Beach Road on a street perpendicular to the big Spinneys on Al Wasl)... multiple agents have been posting these properties for the last four months... I know 'coz I've been looking for a villa since then as well... they're having a tough time selling these out as they initial rate was 180K... now slowly they are coming down to 170K... so perhaps if you're a serious buyer with a ready cheque they will bring it down to 160K... worth a try... also, try putting your name down with Deira Tower Real Estate... I'm on their waiting list as well for their villas - THE TERRACES and THE GARDENS... both these are located in Safa 1 and are 100 villa compounds so you might get something in there... I'm number 4 on the waiting list but basically jumped to this position from being number 21 at the start of summer... those villas are 140K-150K... all the best in your hunt :) <em>edited by HorizonMum2 on 23/09/2013</em>
