Here you go (sorry not in dubai) http://www.mymms.com/utility.aspx you can put pics on them, write things on them and also choose any colour. I think they ship internationally but if not a shop and ship account should be fine. If you dont want to go and order them from the US, Candylicious as Chocs says will have something pink to use I am sure! Baby Bling in the Village Mall I think has pink sweets. They have lots of cute things for baby showers too, for sure its worth a look. <em>edited by Ilovechoos on 13/03/2011</em>

Take it to the City Hospital, you should have results within 45 minutes. We did this at midnight once and within an hour my dd had antiboitics after being diagnosed... so impressive the doctors and service there!

I lived in Paris for a few years and found it fairly baby friendly, for sure if you have a bugaboo they will not love you going into restaurants or shops (those prams are too big for france) so take a tiny umbrella stroller with you. Here is what I consider to be the best guide to be in Paris with a baby, it has kid friendly restaurants and places to go as well as some very cool shops to check out: http://babyccinokids.com/paris/

Sticky Wicket, I think she only has 2 kids, aged 1 and 3. But still I cant think 19k cash in hand if everything else is paid for would be enough to support a family, thats 5k a week and my single friends could not even do that!

Boutique1.com is amazing, for me almost a rival to Net a Porter and they deliver within hours....last week I bought a pair of jeans from them and they were delivered 4 hours later. The website is divine and they have a great selection of clothing. They also offer free returns so if it does not fit you can just call them and they will get DHL to pick them up.

If its occuring bottom middle of t-shirts only its due to you catching either your jeans zips or trousers zip on the cotton material and slightly tearing. This tearing is made worse each time its washed or irons, so tiny tears end up quite big eventually. I have only noticed this with soft cotton tops! If your holes are elsewhere sorry I dont know what it could be!!

Dr John Mcewan is amazing with kids - he operates out of city hospital. If you want I can give you his cell. When we moved here DS was terrified of Doctors, and "dr John" re-established his trust in doctors...he is very very good. I agree hes amazing!

GGP, I think if your looking for great bathrooms and kitchen then you need to try and find somewhere that the owner has lived in and renovated. I saw a few when I was looking that were really great, and the owners were being relocated so having to rent their house out. If you have a good budget, I would look at hattans either in EL or AR, or any of the bigger villas in AR... there are some nice houses, usually they get rented as soon as they go on the market if they are really lovely so you have to be ready to move fast once you find the one you want! Good Luck!

there was already a charactere there for men and kids right? That's where we take our little boy for his haircuts and success everytime. Hope the ladies one will be awesome so I don't have to go far for my hair to be done. Yes the mens one is really good! My son loves getting his hair done there and they always do a good job of my husband. I just hope the ladies one is as good, I need a good blowdry!

I had a bad eyebrow experience in Beauty Lab, will never go back there ever again..... it literally took 2 months for my eyebrows to return to normal. I am hoping that Charactere will offer killer blow drys, and the other salon further down the road will be nice nails, facials and spa treatments. Am keeping my fingers crossed!!

Thanks guys, I just wanted to update you MaiTai I got the Spiruteen Banana as you recommended and its really delicious. Sophia I think its Whey protein that is better for weight loss, but either is good! Spiruteen is Soy protein but its the one I ended up getting in the end and I like it. <em>edited by Ilovechoos on 24/01/2011</em>

My trainer says "if you cant kill it, or grow it dont eat it!" a good philosophy to live by but I find almost impossible to stick to... hence why I need a trainer!

The Toy store on the top floor of MOE, its kind of right above Cacharel. They sell them and they have one on display that kids can use too. They are very nice, I wish I knew about them before I bought my one with springs!

Sorry I should have specified that its a Whey protein I am looking for! I have been trying a few and they are just awful. Bunkie I will give that one a try and also maiTai I think I tried the vanilla Spiruteen - not good, I might try and give the banana one a shot. Thanks girls.
