I've noticed since yesterday both our bedrooms absolutely stink of cigarettes and we dont even smoke. WTH! Its such a disgusting smell and I'm pretty sure its coming through the a/c vents even though the a/c is off. Has anyone else experienced this? Probably a neighbour smoking :-( i dont know how you can prevent it coming through the vents though

The shops in Bur Dubai, Deira etc sell fakes I bought a couple of bottles years ago and they smell nothing like the real mccoy plus the smell wears off really quickly. Yes, some and some sell genuine testers Very rare and they are expensive, i would be interested to know where they get the testers from?

Interested to know where you single girls hang out.. I have a male friend out here, and yes single, that struggles to meet single women.....he tells me that he went to Fibbers the other nigh and wall to wall men................. any suggestions for him? The nice girls never ever go near to those places on their own. My girlfriends always look for the 'ladies nights' where free champagne flows. Like Boudoir in Dubai Marine Resort, Neos in the Address or the Westin (forgot the bars name) Nothing wrong with Fibbers at all! most of the guys in there are normal and down to earth. Boudoir, Neos and the Westin are full of ladies of the night and the pretencious set who are only interested in cash etc

Why not remain under your husbands sponsorship.....it's easier for all concerned. All you need is for your husband to sign a NOC (this a letter giving you permission to work) and this is presented to Ministry of Labour, from this you will receive a labour card. And you are ready to go. If the company wants to sponsor you it's more trouble and expense for the company. Simply removing the 'Housewife' will not be possible I think. The current residency permit will need to be cancelled then the company will apply for an employment visa and residency permit (which will include a medical). You cannot remove the housewife, you are either sponsored by a spouse or a company

Thanks louisedvs, What hospital is Dr Jaffar Khan based at? Good to hear there was no pain this makes me smile ! :-) He was on Al Wasl ( clinic) not hospital although i had 2 choices to have the op American hospital and Belhoul in Satwa. I chose Belhoul as it was cheaper ( Dr suggested it) I do not know where he is based out of now however if you Google him you will find him. As for the pain not everyone was the same as me it all depends on your threshold but be prepared for the itching as they heal! It is hard to get a consultation with him as he is very popular! He will tell you to buy a sportsbra and a tight t shirt after the consultation in order for them to assess the size of the implant I was a B cup and am now a DD/E however am tall so they don't look ridiculous and i went under the muscle which looks more natural and not rounded posh spice look The staff at the hospital were amazing and finally my clothes fit perfectly. Minimal scarring and after 2 weeks the sportsbra comes off however be prepared for them to be swollen and enormous. When i did venture out i covered up completely as i felt they were huge but they did settle in after a few months If you need anymore advice let me know

...another weekend, another gathering of friends...and another time I get disgusted to see the behaviour of married men, whose wives are holidaying with the kids... Do the 'wives' have any idea? I earlier believed the wife often turned a blind eye...but have realised there are very many who had not the slightest inclination. This weekend the guy proudly spoke about his lovely three children ....and tried hitting on me. When he realised it wasn't working, he moved on to the next woman there - who was only happy to have him all over her :( I don't know the guy's wife...but everytime I see something like this, I am so pained on how this has become the norm. I don't party often, but I honestly can't remember the last time, I met a married guy without his wife behaving. At times though I am tempted to contact the wife and send them pictures of what their DH is doing - at least that way the wife is aware and can make her choice. I don't even know why I am posting - just ranting really. I know of several guys who do this and their Wives know! It is a common thing here but goes on all over the world. Unfortunately the world has changed and it is far easier for men to interact with other women on a daily basis plus divorce is common place nowadays. I know it makes you angry but i would just ignore it. If women removed themselves from this situation and told MM to bog off then they wouldn't do it. I know women who are just as bad and if the Wife wants to turn a blind eye then so be it. Karma is a B@@@h and they will get theirs

It is time consuming, the best advice I can give is to avoid job sites, the ads are usually posted by recruiters and they generally want someone with experience. Come up with a list of companies you want to work for, call for the contact details of the hiring manager and send a CV and cover letter to that person. Always call to follow up. I can't really comment specifically on the engineering industry but this method has worked for a few people I know, you just have to make the effort and tailor EVERY cover letter and resume. I'm also a fresh graduate and found nothing through job sites, but when I contacted firms directly, it was a completely different story. I've only started sending CVs 2 weeks ago and I already have an offer and several other interviews lined up, so it really is possible to get an entry level job here. Don't give up! Seaoflove I tried that method and they usually give me the general email for recruitment which is usually [email protected] but i dont even feel they check it... I visited the companies i wanna work in and all they say... please check out website thats the only place we recruit and we cant provide you with the name of the hiring manager its confidential... is what u did similar to what I did? or should make a smarter approach? I'm not in the same industry so that might be a factor, but I just call up reception, tell them I want to send my CV in and ask for an email. Usually I get a direct e-mail address for the hiring manager and I always ask for a name so I can address it properly, it has worked for me so far. It does pay off to be persistent, when you're calling to follow up, be polite and explain why you're calling, chances are they will put you through to whoever you sent your CV to. Keep in mind that it is Ramadan and many people are away so it might get better once everyone returns from their holidays. Also, have you had anyone look over your CV and cover letter? Sometimes you do need a pair of fresh eyes to spot mistakes or ways to improve it. SOL is right. I am ex recruitment ( of many years) and after the real estate crash everything changed. Via an agency they will look for candidates with x amount of experience as they are paying for a service however applying directly is better for you. This time of year is always quiet due to Ramadan and vacations etc however you have to keep applying, networking, contacting companies directly etc etc Fingers crossed for you

It sounds as if the company want you on their visa ( Harder for you to leave in 2 years then ) Some companies do this unfortunately and will not allow you to go onto your Husbands visa. It isn't illegal and it is cheaper for a company just to provide labor card rather than visa. It is their choice to make

If you want to know the service charges for the different buildings in the Greens, drive round this week, as everyone who hasn't paid is listed on boards on the entrances of the individual buildings. Most of the buildings have floor plans in the entrances too, so you can work out how many beds they have for what service charge. Ours are listed inside and you cannot gain entrance without a pass ;-)

A leather fringe-tasseled-bullet-embellished behemoth by Thomas Wylde. Love it to death because it's so ridiculous, but it's also so big and weighs a metric tonne t'boot making it terribly impractical and I rarely get to use it. It's so heavy it actually hurts my back after an hour or so. My best/fave practical bag is my Balenciaga. I love TW have 3 of them :-)

I do have a nice tote which is perfect for travel, or when I need to carry a ton of stuff around. It was advertised as "being perfect for the beach" but that would be a little "too Dubai" for me! I usually throw my towels in a vinyl Carrefour bag--tacky, I know! I have an old wicker type one that was my Mums use that for the beach or a carrier bag haha

I love Zuma brunch. Been numerous times (for brunch, lunch and dinner), and have never been disappointed. It's always my go-to brunch. I was not impressed by Imperium. The food was decent not fantastic, but more than anything I guess the atmosphere didn't really do it for me. And the music was SO. LOUD. I wouldn't return. Been trying to get to Toro Toro but every time it never works out for some reason - I hear it's fantastic, though. I wasn't impressed with the food at Toro Toro although the atmosphere was good

I am renewing my tenancy agreement, going into my second year and my landlord has decided to slap on a 1,000aed Maintenance and Admin fee when you pay your first cheque. As far as I am aware, Landlords are supposed to cover all maintenance. Does anyone have any literature on this? Not necessarily it depends what is in your tenancy contract

I have the same problem with washing powder over here, whites don't come out white, and I don't feel they have the same fresh laundered smell. Also has anyone noticed fabric conditioners aren't the same either. I have bought Downey Stay fresh (blue container) a couple times and it's the consistency of water with a hint of a smell. I'm sure it was thicker at one time (could be wrong, memory failing). And sometimes the washing will smell lovely, other days there's no fabric conditioner smell at all. It's not my machine as I clean it regularly. Louise I am gonna try putting it in the drum instead of dispenser, thanks for that tip. edited by Alismum on 07/08/2012 I find the same with Parazone bleach - it's supposed to be 'thick bleach' and I'm sure it's watered down! I've even emailed the manufacturer but needless to say got no response! I'd be careful putting box powder direct into the drum rather than in the dispenser if that's what you're thinking of trying - not sure if you can do that, though I'm not sure why! Try it first with something that doesn't matter too much! Also make sure the machine is not overloaded as the bleach in the powder will mark anything coloured if it sticks I use the tablets ( you get a net bag) or the liquid filled pouches. I would never put powder directly into the drum. As for parazone i am a domestos girl :-)

I think it is pretty unkind and lacking in grace for native speakers of a language to moan about spellings on a site that has an international membership. The spelling fascists should ask themselves how well they would spell if posting in your 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th language? and how you would feel if native speakers were asserting their superiority by ridiculing the spelling of your valiant attempts? :( It is a forum afterall which attracts so many different nationalities, so who cares if there are grammar and spelling mistakes. Personally i feel people have far too much time on their hands :-)

Over the years i have found if i buy washing powder/liquid etc and put it in the dispenser then it does not get the washing as clean as it does if i buy the tablets/liquid pouchers that go in the drum. I do not know if it is the difference in water, powder etc but find putting in drum gets the washing cleaner

TBH the more expensive ones ( 600 cost) are better as they do different lengths, colours etc. The cheaper ones were okay and last around 3-4 weeks

You should ask her right away why it's say "2009" . And look at her face plus the answer she gives --you can find out the truth I agree with above, photos with the date on the back usually mean they were printed then.

Having seen couple of frnds go through horrible relationships in Dubai over last 14yrs.. I can only caution all single girls to be really really choosy and picky. Rely on your gut instincts a lot as women are very sharp. Worst that happened to 2 of my frnds was that they got in to relationship with married men out for some fun! till date they both can't forgive themselves... Dubai is a place where lonely married men have pit stops where they seem to live in a surreal world, leading a double life...luring single girls and dropping statements like" our marriage is on the rocks" , "about to get a divorce soon" and wat not. This happens everywhere in the world! It is just obvious here as Dubai is very small
