You can buy car seat travel bags that are generic I bought mine in Target in the states for the next stage seat ( have used if for travel for a few years and it is even roomy enough to put the additional booster seat in the same bag for my older DD) but you can order them from Amazon in the UK. They might deliver here or you can get it sent to someone in the UK and pick it up from them. Only around 15 pounds

I've just renewed my daughters passport (still waiting for it but it's on way i have been informed after almost 6 weeks) and didn't write any letter. it's nornal procedure for a parent to sign for a child. You are actually the applicant on behalf of your child so can sign.

it is very much a mixture of academics and social development, we don't have as much homework as other English curriculum schools. Sport is very stong along with themed projects. in the early years the learning is very interactive and the kids are very happy.

I've also been looking for a flight to Miami so it's great to see the Qatar Airways option. Has anyone flown long haul with them and would recommend them. I haven't heard such good things about Delta, does anyone have any feedback on their flight from Dubai? thanks

you can get a waterproof mat in IKEA children's section and put it between another sheet draped over the bed and it's fantastic. Just whip it off in the middle of the night and the bed is dry underneath. It only cost 25 dhs so you could buy a couple and wash them. later when a bit older and accidents are less often put it under the sheet.

I think you are just too early to get a good choice as the shops haven't started with their halloween displays yet. From early October you will get a good slection from most of the supermarkets, C4 and Ace.

the kids can generally use any bags DESS branded or not (my kids use a mixture of both) . In the case of the swimwear he will need the DESS trunks and the appropriate house colur cap. For trousers any grey school trousers will do as they dont have a logo on them even from the uniform shop (at least the grey shorts dont). however the cost of the uniform isn't too much in comparison to M&S. He will need to school hat, others are not allowed.

not sure of the name, just spotted it one day and was quite impressed and it was busy on a Friday morning. Looked very clean. I've since heard from friends that they also cater parties and the meat was excellent. We're going to try it for some Lamb kebabs for an upcoming party.
