You have been unlucky this past week , gosh I rarely take a cool bag even in the summer but get home quickly. Good luck when you let customer service or manager. it is frustrating! Jewelsmiddle - I would have taken them all back if they had all come from the same shop, but it would mean a whole lot of running around to return all of this weeks items! Actually I am very careful about keeping fridge items cool, I use a cool bag at the check out for the fridge items and I put them into the fridge or freezer asa I get home, my fridge freezer is plenty cold enough. Thanks for the advice. I will take it up with all the stores concerned next time I am there for sure.

Yes it may be his age, but I am not a big fan of time out and then praising when quiet as I think it teaches children what buttons to press to get attention, having said that it may work for some children. Children need to be told to behave and suffer consequences when not behaving and to be followed through by parents or carers and not expect to be praised when they do behave as it will be what they will always expect and will not cope when others do not praise them especially as they get older. Consequences is not something children appear to suffer these days and may need to teach our younger generations this.

I have not clicked on the link either. Hairy is not shameful but chiulden and adults can be nasty and insult and hurt with comments. that can be enough for needing to wax a very hairy child/adult to avoid that other type of verbal torture. i havent clicked the link, but in response to subsequent posts, why is being hairy an issue in the first place? im not sure i understand why being hairy is such a shameful / embarrassing thing that you would wax a child. i mean, it frikken hurts! why not just be hairy?

Ask the company to come back as you have a problem especially if only done a week or two ago and be sure they clean the filters and check the gas. you need to leave the A C on as if not used for a while it can smell and they need regular cleaning. We have recently moved to the Springs. We really love it. Now since the weather is turning hot I have started to use the aircon in the baby's room. And here is a problem. It smells like mildew and mold when I run it. They came and cleaned the filter and came a second time and did something but it still smells. Not like at the begining but it smells. Only that aircon. The other premises in the house are fine. Anyone with such experience or any ideas? Or if someone can recomend a good company who can deal with it. Thanks! <em>edited by jewelsmiddle on 26/03/2011</em>

Why are you not phoning or going back to the shop if you have had that many in 7 days ? I have not had a problem , and it can be an issue items left around and then going back into the fridges/freezers in shops . Temperature has increased this past week and may need proper storage in our cars also and straight into a fridge at home. Very strange to have yogurt off ! Is your fridge/freezer working correctly ? Having just chucked a tub of riccotta cheese I bought yesterday into the bin I'm getting a bit tired of finding spoilt items in the shopping. The incidence of this seems to be increasing-Just in the last 7 days I have had from various different well known supermarkets Salmon that was tainted Riccotta that was sour Steak that was rancid Yogurt that was off Mince meat that was high Frozen green beans off Its not practical to drive all the way back to return the item each time, I think a lot of the problem is due to some shoppers abandoning fridge items at the check out where they then sit until they go off and then I suppose staff return them to the shelves. We have no way of knowing if sealed items are off and its a real nusiance and risk - anyone else experiencing this a lot or am I just lucky?

Learn something about the UAE and the culture as soon as you arrive if you have not done so already.where ever you are coming from it will be different . Jumeriah mosque in Jumeriah 1 is a good start whether you are muslim or not as the talks are excellent and from there you should go to Bastyikia, Dubai Museum and many other places. Mix with all nationalities, there are many here. Follow Countries guide lines on dress and appropiate behaviour, it is easy to follow and locals appreciate when we expats make the effort as they get tired of their way of life not being respected. E W did have a list of guide lines which one should read and also in tourist books. Simple one for Ladies and men, dress with, shoulders and top or arms covered,( not strappy tops ok if going to a friends place but if walking cover with a pashmina, no low tops and cover to the knees. Thanks ladies for all your posts. It will be good to join one of the coffee mornings when i arrive to meet various of you. A_lisha think we may have "chatted" before, i arrive a few days after you on 11th April... Fancy a coffee?? Going to look at appts/villas in Executive Towers area. When we arrive we are in one of my husbands company apartments which is in Bur Dubai. Looking forward to meeting new people

It is not unusual for some arab children to be very hairy, I know of some children and could be a night mare for them if they had to change with other children present. Then waxing is reasonable as children and adults can be mean. What about say if the child (female) was really hairy? Like hairy back etc - would it still be wrong to start waxing from a young age? Surely this would be better in the long run as with waxing the hair growth is slowed down.... Just asking before anyone jumps on me.

I am so sorry for your lose and what you have been going through . we do not know all the answers and pray you will be stronger and you will be able to help others also in time. Good luck with your decision and if you decide to take the job and it does not work out, it is not a failing but a learning curve. Good Luck Some of you may know that I lost a child in Jan and things seems to be falling back in to place....slowly! Last year I was offer a job @ Welcare hospital but declined due to the pregnancy. I have been offered the job again but in the NICU department...where my little angel took her last breath I've always had the desire to go back to work and DH always supported that decision plus after the loss of my child-I really longed for something to keep me busy but is this too much too soon?

I think you have got it, " What is it about mothers is it a generational thing" Yes you may have a valid point there, it was excepted in family life one would miscarry one if not two children and babies were born dead and burried, it was a fact of life and not questioned . Today people question alot more which is good but maybe sometimes we need to accept some things as part of life but in todays world we find it alot harder to do that and we strive for better and better and perfection. Not everything from years gone by is a waste and maybe we need the older age groups to help re educate younger age groups to cope with Life. What is it about Mothers? I've decided it's a generational thing...even though my mum lost a baby boy at term she is almost callous in her disregard for any mourning we might feel we need. It's just, oh well, there'll be another. Really, Mum? Lil Miss is only 6, so the subject of siblings does come up, particularly when her friends get new ones! I just explained to her that tho we tried very hard, it just didnt work out that way and that now I'm a bit old. She decided that her dad should then get a 2nd younger wife...the joys of bringing them up in the ME, hey. The subject of not enough love to go round is interesting...and something we will probably encounter along the way. Interesting stuff, being the mum of the unplanned only child. Anyhow, thats a digression, sorry forever...how are you this morning? <em>edited by jewelsmiddle on 25/03/2011</em>

I would have problems understanding a two year old would be able to tell parents about something like this but maybe I am away from that age group too long to remember what they are capable of explaining. Which would be why I prefer to wait and see and not jump to conclusions and looks as if these parents need help if they do things like this if untrue. very very sad. Don't recall that one ! Some people need help. For me from day 1 this story seemed odd. As did the case that followed on it's heels of the 2 year and the watchman at an apartment building. It was another case of where things didn't seem to add up and things that were said were odd for any 2 year old to claim.

One needs to be very careful when one either reads or hears things as so so often they have been altered along the way, term known as "chinese whisper" turns into gossip . It was shocking to read the story when we saw it on the newspaper but why be judge and jury before the full facts come out and unfortunately most of the time we never find out the full facts. These men have had their lives ruined if they are not guilty as you will always get those people who will say there must have been something to it. People can be very nasty and without true reason to be. If these men are innocent , how will it be for them going forward ?

I have blood tests every three months to check my levels. Im happy to go with my doctors advise.

This I understand at 50,000 level is generally only for short term until your levels improve and then one goes to lower levels daily or may be ok if sun is sufficient , but depends on the individual.

Start writing down how you are feeling, if you struggle to get up, when you are tired etc etc , periods, any information that would help as we do not always remember everything. Go and visit a doctor who will listen and not just jump to conclusions.As ladies have suggested get your thyroid and Vit B levels checked. If you can manage to get some help a few hours a few times a week, it would be wise, we are not super women no one is superwoman and if someone says they are , ignore ! Some people disagree with maids help but in todays world when far from the old fashioned family support within the home which has been gone for some countries for numbers of decades and may be the reason it is shunned as they never grew up with it. Get to bed early and check what you are eating , are you eating well. I hope you will feel better soon and please follow the good advice these ladies have given you , it could be very simple and show up in a blood test and be sorted. I know I'm busy, I have two small kids and a large 4 bed villa with no help but I'm not the only one. I do still get woken most nights even if it's just for a few minutes but I find I'm exhausted in the evenings. as soon as I sit down my body and mind seem to hit a wall of exhaustion. Anyone else have this? I know exercise would help but simply have no time right now :-( <em>edited by jewelsmiddle on 23/03/2011</em>

Good you do, think we all including myself need reminding of my post as we do not know the bigger picture. Jewelsmiddle, love your post – actually had it on my FB profile for a while. My story: during a business trip in Milan, one evening I was out shopping with a colleague when I saw a couple walking down the street towards us, him a tall man who hugely resembled my ex of 6 years with whom I lived in London, but had since the break up moved to Geneva. As they got closer, I realised it was him indeed (!) with his wife-to-be, visiting Milan for the weekend. He seemed totally embarrassed trying to explain to her who I was and struggled to reassure her it was nothing but a coincidence :)

I am neither jealous or envious of anyone and if I would see it coming I would stop it as it does me no good at all. I would like to be better in somethings and improve my life but I have a good life and thankful for it. Yes, some people are better with money, others are better at making friends, driving a car,playing sports, others are kind and caring and genuine . I am not so good at some things, better at others , still learning and hopefully will keep learning no one is perfect or has the perfect life. True friends of which they will be few in ones life , will accept one for their strengths and weaknesses.

Tweeti Did not get the impression you want to get pregnant, but you could find yourself pregnant. Think you have been given plenty of good advice. Get on and act on some of it and grow up drop the sweety bit, its in the movies your living a real life. Looking at the two posts you are writing on , you would be better to have it as one as it is all related. Think you could do with some good medical advice and go on the pill as you do not want to find yourself pregnant in your current frame of mind. iam not sure,.....how you got the impression....i want to be pregnant! oh no! not at all......... by sweet talk i did not mean in that direction. is expecting your husband to say "hi honey, how was your day today" when he comes in from work....too much. or if he says..... would you want me to help? ......while iam doing something. i dont want him to sweet talk me to lead me to the "up all night" part. i just want him to talk lovingly to me. DH just walks in from work....says a "hi", i keep expecting him to say something nice. tried talking to him.....i dont know if he forgets. i feel kinda sad....when i keep expecting him to say something nice to me and that doesnt happen. its not that he isnt cheerful he plays with DD, and laughs, and makes her laugh too. so i really dont know....if its the tiredness or if he doesnt feel the urge to talk to me sweetly.

Good to know , when I hear and have seen on TV the naughty step approach I do wonder at times ? as the odd smack can work. Thankfully I did not need to, only a few times but admit harness / hand straps made it easier to handle children especially in a large supermarket or walking on streets , crossing pavements etc etc. Yes I have had my children throw tatrums and yes i dealt with it and think the odd smack does help but modern parents are not allowed to do this. but modern parents are still allowed to give the occasional smack - at least in the UK. Ok, it's not the "sound thrashing" of yesteryear, but the police aren't going to swoop down instantly on a parent who give just enough of a shock so as to stop the unwanted behaviour.

Goodness me head or face is not appropiate at all. The smack situation is such a big thing. In Australia, the courts will tell you that you can smack your child so long as it is par to what has been done - so if they scream in the shop you can tap their bum but you can't smack them across the face. Here it's not too dissimilar - so long as it's not parent v parent in the argument. If a parent smacks their child on the bum or hand, using reasonable force, that will be fine. But not on the head/face and not using an item.

Think you could do with some good medical advice and go on the pill as you do not want to find yourself pregnant in your current frame of mind. looking after a small child is hard work and tougher when your husband is in ABU Dhabi daily as many of us have had to do with husbands futher a feild for long periods of time and with more than one child. I have read their is a fairy good mother group you might benefit from, maybe someone else could give you the details or look it up yourself. Sorry but I currently don't have the patience to help you and think you need to stop complaining and be constructive and i know that may not help you if your feeling low. Sorry but wish I could help you further. Start with the doctor and fairygod mother group. Good luck and hope you begin to feel better soon.

Blue slippers, how do you think people end up going down a bad path because they allow something they should not have into their lives. She could work on him very slowly and get him . Why do you think there are so many divorced people ? Why do people steal away another persons man or woman ? Yes there are cracks in all relationships but don't need a third party coming along and making it worse. After 5 years why are you not married ? I asked him what would have happened if she said okay lets meet up and do something ohysical he said he would have gotten cold feet and he would never be able to do that. but the little flirting he did start to feel a little guilty.

I think I'm going to have to just give her a rocket....I honestly think she does these things to p!ss me of so I loose it! No can be that stupid!

One does not need to do anything physical to ruin a relationship. Signs are there, beware and if you marry him just remember what you have recently found out. Not a good sign ! Hello I recently had this bad feeling between my boyfriend and I and decided to check is phone as i just thought something was not feeling right. And to my surprise i found he was chatting some lady that he knows through work but secretly on facebook where they dont add eachother as friends but they can still send personal messages to one another. Some o fhis messages really made me mad the things that were sent. I confronted him and wanted to read more of the messages but he asked me to please stop. He says they have never met up and done anything physically. I asked him to delete her number and everything of hers that he has. But it is still bothering me inside. I havnt been able to ask him exaclt how they ended up chatting and all that and i want to. But I just want to know what would you ladies do in this situation. We have been together for over 5 years so it is s not a new relationship.

Warn her to take care and live with it or when her contract is up find a new maid. I look after my things also and if i feel there is a risk maid will break something i will only use it myself. They are different and maybe you could be expecting too much from her. I find my maid stilll falls back to old habits so keep her clear of something thats important to me. Ok, so today is the last straw with my maid.....so far she has broken my rice cooker, my pancake factory and the the glass stove top is full of chips, which she blames my DD for..BUT today I get the Le Crueset out and the enamel is chipped to the @@@@ house! Now, I'm a patient woman but I'm so sick and tired of the "Oh sooo sorry Madam!!!" I'm thinking of taking some money out of her pay just to let her know that I'm not super rich and buy quality items which are very dear to me.

Think you need to stand back and have a read read of your thread. you may see some of the answers in your own writing if you try and see it as someone else writing. Your a good person who finds it difficult to turn your back even when someone is not nice , well time you turned away and yes give your mother some support but try not to continue to be a door mat. I know she is ill and may not last too long but her habits are not new and not having good influence on you. Your younger brother is very young at 19 years old, and it will take him many years to learn. As another poster said try not to make promises as duty will make you feel bound and from what you have written so far that would certainly not be fair for you. you need to go on with your life and build a life and maybe have a family and focus on them .

I am sure she died a happier woman having heard your voice and the effort you made. Good for you JS your story mirrors my own Mu mum was in the hospital dying and wouldn t speak to me I called the ward and asked the nurse to simply take the phone to her and not tell her who it was - we had not spoken for around 6 months ( it felt like 10 years ) The nurse gave her the phone - I simply said Mum I love you and have always loved you God Bless and she just said I know and put the phone down 24 hours later she passed away but in my own mind I had said what I neede to say We can never know what goes on in anothers head but rest assured she is she is your mum and she loves you just try to ignore the brother and concentrate on your mum as when she is gone there will be no chance Take care x

Unfortunately most potatoes here are not flourly ones. The saudi, lebannon ones if fresh and not soft will be fine for making your own Chips. Why should anyone judge you ? i want to make proper chips (don't judge me!) and need floury Maris Piper type potatoes, but in Spinneys they don't seem to have names so much as locations of origin? Does anyone know which ones are floury and not waxy? Thanks!

Wonder why your sister thinks it wrong ? She lives in a different enviroment. In years gone by familes helped one another but todays world everyone spead out it is not possible. Think alot of marriages and family lives are better because there is afforable help available in a very stressed society. Having maids and treating them well gives these people the opportunity to feed and look after their own families back home financially. Hi, Just thinking out loud but I wonder how Western places would look at us with maids in say the US or UK or Australia? My sister thinks it's wrong we had hired help here in the Middle East, that we were taking advantage, is it one of those things that should remain in the Middle East and not be re-introduced to other places in the world? Sorry I don't know about Australian immigration laws, I have a hunch it will be tough though.

These doe not always need to be taken by injection. tablet form is also available and specialists can perscribe and guide one. Neurobine, is B1, B6, B12 combined and can be taken at appropiate levels to increse your levels. Same with Vitamin D, specialists can advise you and when levels up one needs to reduce. 30 mins in the sun with face and arms exposed, walking will do it for Vit D once levels at normal. Vit D is one of the biggests issues facing the world .

I am so sorry to read your email and many familes have similar issues. I am a lot older than you and it is only now I am coming to terms with the selfishness of my own mother and favouring anothersibling who turned out just like her and like you thought it was my fault but it was not. Thankfully you are realising this at a younger age and sibling challenges can be so difficult. I am not sure what else to say right now but please do not blame yourself the issues are with your mother who does not see what she is doing. Don't bother asking your brother for computer help , find someone else if you can but in the end if you really have to ask him do and tell him you are not in a position to pay him if he still won't help keep clear. I am sure there will be kind ladies here who will give you good solid caring sensitive advice.

Those who ask what is going on as it is not a normal everyday occurence for most people for one to see, in case someone may be harming a childing trying to do the right think by asking and then the parent gets upset. Worse still still is when people do need help no one may help. Tough as the situation was to deal with at the time rather than critize the people who were asking you maybe one could consider they were kind and caring enough to investigate . Yes I have had my children throw tatrums and yes i dealt with it and think the odd smack does help but modern parents are not allowed to do this. Everything too politically correct and raising brats and over competitive people who don't care about others unless forced to. DD never did anything wrong in public, she was terrified of strangers. DS was permanently connected to a 5 point harness until he was able to put it in writing that he would do as he was told. I was ticked off by women who questioned me attaching his harness to the seat at the front of the grocery cart....LIKE HELLLLLLLLLO......this boy can fly. Others always know best-my son needed suction every 5 minutes the first years of his life so I would lug his oxygen and suction equipment along when I went shopping-lost account of the number of times people physically tried to stop me when I was suctionning him and demanded to know what I was doing to my poor baby-when I asked if they'd prefer I let him die they generally backed off....... not quite as drastic as your baby wuffles but lil miss gets bleeding noses, and they can be quite spectacular. I have lost count of the times I've been told I'm treating it all wrong by passers by. I got so irritated one day with a particularly bad bleed and are particularly persistent woman I did snap and ask her is she'd like me to let daughter choke to death on it. Grrrrr, well meaning yes, but I had explained more than once to her, and quite politely that I knew what I was doing. Lady, I have my hands full here!
