Oops. My bad. Let me rephrase. I'm about to order a DVD of a program featuring a family of anglo-saxon and protestant origins who just so happen to be of the pale skin color, and who are unfairly alloted a higher socio-economic status due to the racist and economically oppresive order of the day. I will be ordering this DVD from an international website's operations that happen to be based in their division located on a small island across a narrow strip of water from a continent that is widely known as Europe. Better? wahahaha...thanks for that, needed a good chuckle. Umm...yes, amazon is great. Have used it before but now only ever use it with Shop n Ship. You're welcome to use my account if indont have your own. Just shout.

Ladies I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your loved ones. I lost my father 12 years ago, he was only 53. Not a single day goes by where I dont think of him and miss him. Especially when I look at my son, who would have been his first grandson (after having only grandaughters). The pain will never ever go away, but I can tell you that it does get easier. As for your friends, I know it's hurting, but you really are much better off being rid of them and trying to make new friends...there are some lovely, real friends out there who can make those tough days just that little better with a call a laugh of even just a smile and being an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. GGP I can only imagine what it must be like to lose both your parents and have your whole world turned upside down. Well done for being so strong. I think a support group is a wonderful idea ladies. Think of you all.

Before my DS arrived 3 years ago, I was a full on confessed, shoppaholic. Once DS arrived there was less time to enjoy shopping and the excess weight meant I really didn't feel like shopping. (I made up for it though by buying DS loads of stuff ;-) ) Now DS no 2 is nearly 4 months I'm slowly starting to get back to what I should look like...so I'm hoping to hit the shops soon. Though these boys have seriously put a spanner in the works, shopping with children in tow is no easy task.

Huge congrats Mr & Mrs Dollymud. Welcome little Harry! It's amazing falling in love with these tiny little people who very quickly start to take over your lives. Enjoy every second. My DS is nearly 4 months now. It's just wizzed by in a flash and I'm really starting to miss having a newborn. Congrats once again.

We went to the set up at Al Ain Zoo and love it. Took DS to see them twice at Festival, he would have gone every day if he could have. He loved it. Think the scared factor played a huge part in him enjoying it IYKWIM. We are planning on heading to see them in JBR on the next few days. He can't wait and hasn't stopped asking to go. I video'd all the Dino's and him running around the place...which is ALL he has watches on TV the last few months, so well worth our money spent. When Iasked the organiser why it was so expensive, he said they were instructed by "whoever runs these things" to make it the same as the price at the Dolphinarium. Not sure how true that is.

Thanks glasgo2010. I hope the rules haven't changed too. So frustrating when you get conflicting advice and then have the added knowledge of Dubai and how it's rules change on a daily basis.

We sent a scaned copy to her e-mail and she printed it out in some internet cafe. We've emailed them to her. She is going to an Internet cafe today to get them. But the lady at the consulate told my DH we need to send her the originals...so now he's stalling booking the ticket incase this is the case. Every number in Sri Lanka we try call to find out is engaged or just rings.

My DD(13 months) has been having a bad cough for last 3 months. We tried all the cough medicines, warm clothes, vicks- all natural remedies I can think of. She doesn't have an infection, it's viral. I took her to an Osteopath too. She said DD has a very tight chest and lungs. She believes a homeopath can help. Now, can anyone recommend a good one please? SLEEPY, if you are reading this, I remember you mentioned a herbal doc long time ago who helped you with your daughter's cough. Can you please post his/her contact details? Thanks. edited by tahm563 on 27/01/2011 Dr javed at Dubai Homeopathy Health Center. 04 3953333

did you know that quinny have just released a new Zapp that reclines and you can purchase the seat as an accessory and then attach it to your existing chassis. You should check with Just Kidding because I know they are selling the new zapp, I saw them demonstrating it the other day. Ooh...this sounds fab. Must go check it out. JK have moved to Gold n Diamond park, right?

Now, would this be the same if you were to hire a Sri Lankan from an agency? Will the agency sort out the paperwork? Yes, SQ, I believe the agency would do it all and just bill you for it...

Baby no2 is nearly 4 months, never quite lost it all from baby no 1 who's now 3...but I'm ready to get my sexy back so please ladies, tell me, where do I buy the DVD? Will I have to order it online? Or can I get it here in Dubai. Desperate to get going while the motivation is flowing through me ;-)

Just had another thought... What about asking SalsB if any of the ladies who have contacted her about the "Fairy Godmother" idea may be able to help out. I know this wasn't the idea of her group, but if I was able to drive and not working I'd want to help out. Even if only 3 days a week or even only either the morning or afternoon pick up?

Meals, I know someone who has a taxi drivers mobile number. She uses him all the time. Not sure what you'd do regarding car chairs though and what if he's held up and unable to collect DS from school??? Think you'd Be better off getting someone more reliable, so probably not my best idea. Ok, what about letting us adopt DS1 during the weeks for the next few months? ;-)
