My wedding dress is very slim fitting and simple, but backless. I would be happy to lend it to you as it is definitely a lucky dress.

If you have chosen a satin finish for your walls , they don't stick. I have tried loads of brands and all peeled off.

Just started having no nappies at night and had several accidents (DS is three, just), seems like I should be more patient as I was going to put the nappies back on.

Whilst this is not ideal as a high chair from weaning age, as soon as they are around 1yr it is super. I took the plastic support off at about 18 months and son loves it. i know they are expensive, but I have friends that use them until 4 or 5 years so it's worth the money. We have the dark wood one too so can't tell you about the paint situation...

Eyelash dye - I look like the Mona Lisa without it! I don't like having it done at salons they always do it wrong and nothing beats eyelure!

You have it wrapped in cling film for 20dhs then send it in the hold with your suitcase, if you try to take it on the plane they will off load it and you will have no cling film to keep it clean. I promise that there is very rarely extra space on a plane and car seats are bulky. We have done this loads and it never damaged our car seat :)

I bought mine from Cocoon and had it altered by Barbara, I don't have her contact details. It was wonderful, but more evening dress as I got married in Vegas so not so traditional.

I haven't heard anything and I was also asking around as I fancy it for next year (2013) for my DS. I do know a lovely person that will be starting work there in September and if the rest of the staff are of a similar calibre it can't be half bad :)

Wow, they also do my DS so nicely, although he has it very short so maybe there is no room for error. Can you spike it up and make her punky? ;)

we are in a saheel and DEWA is 4000 in summer and we are careful and have no pool. A lot of estate agents put low rents to get you to call and then say that those have gone and offer you something at market rate.

Lydz, he is a stunning Arab Grey about 15hh stabled in the polo club by the ranches. His owner has been forced to go home indefinitely and cannot bear the thought of selling him, but will have to if he doesn't get leased as it is expensive. She is happy for up to three people to split the cost as long as they are competent riders and responsible. I am sorting this out for her, but my email address is my name so if you are interested and have an anonymous email we can go from there?

I'm pretty sure that no insurance, particularly individual insurance covers a baby until at least 9 days old as the don't cover congenital issues.

Handy hint, if you are with OH have him go in and watch the trailers and let LO run around in foyer (without irritating other cinema goers obviously) have OH text you when film starts, this cuts about 20 mins off the film time. My son watched all of Cars 2 when he was just two and he ran out of patience about 15 mins before the end.
