I would hate to see anything happen to this adorable friendly cat. She sits on our doorstep every day. We have been feeding her. Our neighbour took het to the vets to check if sh is chipped. She is so tame and very loving, so we assumed that someone had lost her. We are leaving Dubai and need her to be looked after. She doesn't come into the villa as my son is allergic to cats. She is out most of the day. PLEASE can someone help me? I am happy to contribute towards neutering & jabs... The best thing you could do is make sure she is neutered and vaccinated before you leave, maybe call FF and see if they can help.

But G, the moment i transfer here in dxb, surprisingly i look terribly. Hehe. Blame it on the weather. Maybe you should look at the side effects of having injections from your other thread????

TBH I really do not like it when English speakers make fun of others who can not speak English as a native does. It really grinds on me the audacity of some expats in this respect. However, recently i saw a very serious note sent out by a company stating that "All accounts overdue will be constipated".

I am still shocked. I just read by coincidence that it is not safe for the baby. So my DD is one now, and i am reluctant to wean or wait, but this is my 3rd day on Yasmin and i don't know what to do. I am not taking it for birth control, it's for another problem. I know i should call the Dr, but she is quite difficult (if not impossible) to reach. What to do? :( Urm. change your doctor or get an appointment with your Dr to ease your concerns? Thanks. This will take a few days. Continue pills and stop breastfeeding or stop pills and continue breastfeeding? dilemma. You have to speak with your Dr to answer this really, why not call and ask to speak to her as a matter of urgency?

Is there a non Brit in the world who actually enjoys eating these?:\: seriously, Brits go on and on and on about these on here and Facebook. I thought they were a slice of heaven. Got some from the frozen section "auntie Betty" or ..... Put them in the oven as directed, had one and binned the rest! What is the big deal about these, anyway? :\: they taste like really bad, tasteless, chewy bread! I really can't be alone on this. Just had to say it out loud. Can you imagine if every Brit started pulling apart other nationalities traditional foods? Is there any need for it really, does EW really need to hear that a poster does not like a certain food? <em>edited by Lolacat on 27/05/2012</em>

Hello. I am sorry if I am writing what others have already written. I have not read the whole thread. Fact: An Islamic or any religious marriage has no meaning in this country. A civil ceremony must be done. Fact: You are basically only married in the eyes of God. You are unmarried legally speaking. Advice: Why don't you go back to the UK and have a civil ceremony and just forget about the religious marriage already done? Come back here after all your child's documents are in order. Again I apologize if I stated the obvious. Thanks for your advise. My only question is that if I go back to UK for birth and get civil ceremony done at the same time, surely when I come to Dubai and try to get sons documents attested at MOFA and his visa etc they will see the civil ceremony date doesnt tally with when I was pregnant and had a baby. Wouldnt they reject giving him residency here? i'm confused. Surely theres people here who have had children in UK out of wedlock then got married at some point and have been able to move to Dubai? I've mentioned twice now it will be fine to have your child in the UK and then get your papper work in order to come here. Your child will have a passport and Birth certificate which it can not get here, your marriage (new one) will be legal and attested and the BC will match the father who you are marrying, you will have no issues about your child being born out of wedlock in teh UK to come here. Loads of expats have had children whilst they were not married and then got married to reside here. HTH

But surely coming from the UK and having been married there in a mosque the OP must have been informed the marriage was not valid under UK law unless other formalities were completed? Didn't sound like that mosque was useful - I saw the form for the Muslim Marriage Certificate earlier while browsing and noted that the Civil Marriage registration number, date and district details were required in that form. Exactly, something is not right here somewhere.

why have you got to go to UK to give birth? Go, get married ASAP, get all your attestations done, and that, along with your original certificate showing you were married as per islamic law, should be fine? And how is she going to get around the dates difference she is 26 weeks pregnant now!

A couple that my DH worked with were arrested and deported for getting pregnant then getting married! Dates did not tally, they knew she was pregnant before they got married! Had been here for a few years, and now fighting to come back! He was a Brit, she was from an eastern European country! They had to agree to be deported so that they could register the birth and be given a passport! But isn't OP married according to a Muslim marriage certificate? Doesn't that carry some weight here? That has REALLY freaked me out :( Even if I go back to UK, give birth there, get passports, come to Dubai to get babys residency surely they will reject it again as the civil ceremony will be just before babys birth or just after?? Its the same situation is it not? If you have a child out of wed lock in the UK you will have no problems here as long as everything else is in place post birth. Here it is well known that marrying late in pregnancy is a big problem, not marrying & having a child is an even bigger problem. And from what you are saying your marriage is not recognised here. Marrying late in Cyprus may not be the answer as you will still be having the baby here and the dates will not tally. You need some legal advice and then you can plan.

No because she was married in another country and the country does not recognise that marriage enough to attest the document under UK Law. The UAE need any MC attested to prove valid, catch 22. But surely coming from the UK and having been married there in a mosque the OP must have been informed the marriage was not valid under UK law unless other formalities were completed? If you are married here you marry as a resident under UAE law but normally under your own countries legal requirements.

The first thing is to be getting legal advice as another poster suggested. Your only safe resort is to have your baby in the UK, if you can fly to cyprus you can fly to the UK. This way it does not matter if the baby was out of wedlock regardless of marriage status. This would be my plan of action after seeking legal advice, should that not answer the question.

Can someone explain which are the most expensive schools in Dubai and the cheapest? Why is that? Why are fees for certain schools run by the same group so different to their other schools for example? Are the BC and IB schools the most expensive? If schools from all different fees brackets can achieve outstanding by KHDA why is there so much variation on fees, sometimes thousands? Would fees be less in some schools due to the parent body they cater for? Is this incorrect? If so why are all schools not charging the same fees? Also from the responses on the other thread are those posters saying that the social economics are the same for every majority body of parents in all schools regardless of fees paid? Please explain. <em>edited by Lolacat on 17/05/2012</em>

You may be better with a large cage, the Vet hospital sell them and i think even rent them (need to confirm). There will be less inclination for the kitten to climb the sides than a travel cot or fall out. HTH

I would think that a good thing to do would be to keep a stash of Abayas near the entrance of malls, hospitals, banks etc, and have someone hand them over to those who look like they need covering. I don't know of the rules today, but years ago the Iranian Hospital used to hand a headscarf to women who entered with their hair showing. It was normal and I never saw anyone object. They do this at some of the nicer hotels. Which hotels in Dubai hand headscarfs to guests? The Jumeirah group. I have been asked twice to cover my shoulders. They come with the selection of scarfs for you to choose from in what looks like a large cigar box! edited by Sprinkler on 16/05/2012 Which hotel? I've stayed in most and never been asked to cover .

As for previous threads yes a little negative when we moved in after my daughter was accused of shi**ing the pool and were fined 3k- now case dropped by the way as wasn't us!!! Anyway at no time have a blamed any of the above on the fact some people fly planes as a job!!!! I always thought it was quiet here as well until another resident (school mum) told me of the goings on at her next door neighbours villa.................well I never! Is her neighbour called Debbie?

Hey PR. I too am a Cedre 'villain' and hope that people think I am normal. There is a FB page for Cedre villas as well as a DSO forum that you can join. I don't think the residents here are anti-social I just think a lot of maids tend to take the kids to the park/pool so you see less of the mums. You are not allowed to do this in EW, but perhaps through FB or DSO forum you could organize a coffee meet at Starbucks and see who turns up?? I am sure there are many others out there who would also enjoy a glass of grape! The new Spinneys seems to be a great place to bump into people, can you post the link for the FB page please.;)

AM - thanks a lot for that. mine did the little nippers when they were out in April and loved it. Until we get out here it'll be difficult to tell but I hope my kids will keep doing some sort of exercise despite the hot weather. I still think we can be guilty of molly coddling kids too much but appreciate that until we've experienced the heat properly (and not on holiday) I can't really make a judgement. Who is guilty of "molly coddling" their kids? Clueless.

I know I can't say for sure but I'm hoping mine will be the same. I guess it's the opposite of UK - mine go to athletics in minus temps, blowing a gale and pouring with rain and people can't believe I let them out in it and seem quite horrified. We'll see how we go and i know the little one struggles more than the eldest so will be cognisant of that . Eldest was born in KL and I often wonder if that's why she copes better with extremes of temperature. Just to clarify the weather in the middle east is nothing like the UK or any where "opposite". There are valid reasons why no one ventures out during the hotter months and why there are laws in place to stop outside work during these hotter months. Children in the middle east don't stop exercising in the hot months they just change locations of where they perform their exercise. Heat stroke is very serious in small children, most people try not to expose their children to that by exposing them to the summer heat more than required. There is a huge difference between a holiday in April (one of the coldest Aprils for a long time) than actually living full time in such a climate. Most residents can spot the lobster tourists a mile away!

Purple rain the rule about over 6's only was due to the fact that almost weekly the pool was being pooped in, unreal, but this was the case, so frustrating for everyone else. I've never had a child poop in a pool so find it hard to understand how this was happening but it was and enough to drive everyone crackers. So i can understand why such a rule was made. Sadly it's quite clear that a few residents don't clear up behind themselves or always act in a thoughtful manner so this is why there have now been more and more rules added. Only the other week i saw juice cartons at the waters edge and two mums sitting oblivious, it really annoyed me TBH. Why not introduce your self to your neighbours there are loads of nice people to chat too, also remember that there are a lot of wives in CV who do not have English as a first language but do try to speak if spoken to. I really hope it improves for you.

I'm sorry you have had a bad month but the rules are clear, no eating at the pool, so why wuld you find this a problem? Parking, if your car was badly parked blocking the pavement or overhanging the road you will have been told off, this is not unreasonable bearing in mind how any people like to actually use the pavement to walk on or drive on the correct side of the road. The rules quite clearly state no under 6's in the pool for the simple reason every time they go in they seem to **** in it. Evrytime it gets pooped in it gets shut down and cleaned, it takes time as the water goes for testing which takes a certain amount of time. Someone should pay for that. I've always found the security to be great and residents very friendly, which phase are you in?

195 days spent at school, less 9 public holidays (which fall during term), so 186 actual school days in the year (or there abouts, again there is some calucation I've gotten off, but it's around this figure). ETA because I added the three Eid holidays into the equation when they actually fall in a holiday edited by AmyAus82 on 16/04/2012 WOW!! That is something. Thank you for taking the time to do all the calculation! The advertised teaching contracts are saying 185 teacher required days & 180 teacher/student days?? They might have to change those contracts now. But...This change would then add a school week for the kids regarding instruction (good for kids) but a real bummer for the teachers having to teach an extra week! (lol) It also (yes I know the world does not revolve around us ;) ) makes it quite disappointing for Americans. For those of us who return we love to spend our Independence Day / 4th of July home in our country! Oh well.... longer breaks for better travels during Christmas and Spring Break! edited by americanfamily3 on 16/04/2012 I am not aware of any school that completes 180 teaching days here as it stands (anyone know?), I suspect there will be half terms to add into the equation yet.

Having looked back through your posts I can see you posted your DD had lost several KG as well. I also not you say you see a DLC pead, have you seen Dr Nicola Dreamer or Dr Gordon Bland? GP's but excellent and worth seeing. Like everyone else i would be very suspicious of an ED at such an age, without question you need to be seeking second opinions and actively getting answers with a full set of tests. If your DD really has not eaten as you state and is losing weight (&gt;10%bw) then by now she should be in hospital. You need to moving on this, have you thought of going to City Hospital with your DD?

Bringing schools into alignment with their holidays is a great idea, although i think going back on the 9th to late. I also want to know about half terms? Are these still going to be allowed? Otherwise we are looking at 14/16 week terms which is far far too long without a break for teachers and kids. Has anyone actually counted up the number of days attended yet for next year?

I don't think you should go to the police, you should leave this to the agency. They can deport her and put a block /ban on her without you getting involved. You don't need this in your life, i would move on, get a new maid from the agency. The agency needs to deal with this in their own way, as someone stated that is why you pay them, it is not for you to set an example to the other employees of this company, sending this maid to prison which is what will happen is hardly a way to educate staff in 2012 . The agency owner needs to manage and educate his staff not you Walk away, and regardless of how it should be never leave valuables/wallets lying around when people from poorer nations/backgrounds struggling to make a living are in your house. Just move on and take it as a lesson learnt, trust is not always mutual. edited by Lolacat on 15/04/2012 You are basically saying that its OK to steal if you are poor?? That's a terrible message to say. No, I'm saying this is not the posters responsibility as she is using an agency and there are other ways to educate staff. Didn't realise that the punishment for theft should be education - my mistake edited by angelinaballerina on 15/04/2012 I think you are missing my point.
