GEMS Wellington Sillicon Oasis is a new school. I would think you have a very good chance there, given that they are already offering places for 2012 FS1. <em>edited by JulesLC on 21/11/2011</em>

Got a reply from EMAAR that was completely unhelpful - they basically restated the letter. Apparently it comes down to fees...

Why dont you try Homely Petz petsitting instead? we used them for our cat, works out about the same cost, and your pet stays in their own home...

try giving her a spoon of manuka honey every day, it has excellent properties....i have DS same age, and another DS 3yrs, also at nursery full time as I work too, and we are lucky (touch wood) that they are generally pretty healthy. aslo make sure she gets plenty of sleep (my DS your DD age sleeps 2-3hours in the day, and 11-12hrs at night, bedtime by 7pm absolute latest hope it gets better, it's probably adjusting to a diff climate as well

we have had this debate at home as well - we are now opting for on for a bit, as we used to leave them on, until one exploded!! what can happen is that the thermostat breaks, the tank keeps heating so that the water turns to steam, causing an explosion in the pipes!! got the shock of our lives one friday afternoon when this happened!!! so since then have gone for the switch it on for a bit approach.....

hi - not selling mine, but just wanted to tell you that I love my vespa! especially if you live in one of the communities, so useful to nip to the shops etc...be aware though that you will need a motorbike licence to drive one, so if you dont have it, then you will need to do the course and test...let me know if you have any questions

GM - what we have is the frame, not the mattress as we are keeping that (have a new bed frame coming) so the frame with drawers underneath is the perfect size for a 2x2 mattress

Alimart - my 2 DS wear amber teething necklaces, got them from baby souk dot com. bought it for the little one who was teething, and older one wanted one as well! i think it helped, we have had no issues with teething at all, no raw bums or sleepless nights. Dubaicat - they are not for chewing on, it's more a natural pain reliever. the specific amber they are made of releases tiny amounts of resin into their skin as they wear them....and it's this which is supposed to act as a pain reliever. a bit like copper bracelets and arthritis. re raw bums though, if either of mine ever suffer from any redness, make sure you dry the area super well, ie when you touch it it should feel smooth and feel no dampness, put some olive oil on the area, then put sudocrem on top as a barrier. as a rule, barrier cream is just that, so if the area is not completely dry before putting on the barrier cream, then you end up trapping the moisture in as well as keeping new dampness out, if that makes sense! hope his bum gets better soon!

each manufacturer will tell you their method is best! and to be honest we could see both adv and disadv to both...in the end it came down to who could do the job within our timeframe , and in the end we also felt that in this climate the fibreglass will withstand the heat better than concrete (same technology as they use in boats). tiling wise you can have the same type of tiles on either, and the same water features, lighting etc....HTH

...when you go around the house singing 'Annie Apple she says ah, she says ah, she belongs to Mr A' to the tune of My fairlady to yourself, or 'wind the bobbin up' or 'A B C D E F G' or any of the other songs that your LOs also constantly sing to themselves!!

i just had it, my doc said that last year was a light flu year, so this year is predicted to be a bad one (it goes in alternate years according to her). i know it doesnt protect against all viruses, but figure if it can help at all then its worth it! being a working mum with 2 LO at nursery, am surrounded by opportunities to get infected!!

depends if you are looking for fibreglass or concrete. we opted for fibreglass in the end due to speed, we used absolute pools as well, ask for tony, can recommend them. had we gone for concrete, we would have used silverfox/mak pools, they couldnt fit us in as they were so busy. best decision we made though, it has transformed our life!!!
