nothing to worry about, for one that goes two arrive. Of course people made redundant or leaving will start ranting about the place. It's ok, they should just go, nobody forced them to come here in the first place. Your comment is neither helpul or constructive

The rules have changed, you get 10 days grace period, therefore, you can do the visa run between days 31 and 40 . I just did this with a company called elite visa run and was very impressed with the service. The website is very informative.

You could try a shower filter, I get dry, itchy skin on my body and scalp, the filter has certainly helped.

Is there a hotel where we could go and have a drink or coffee that would give us a view of the palm?

You could contact a relocation company, they may be able to assist you. I don't know of any personally, but a google search should bring up a few.

A few days after I posted, I noticed there was less of them and then they disappeared. I have now put down mega gel and so far, have not had anymore.

Just recently, I've been getting tiny bugs in the house, mainly inside the main entrance and in the downstairs toilet, there are loads of them and look like small black flecks, they don't appear to move although they must. I sweep them up and about an hour later they start appearing again. I've used sprays and have put down the sugar and boric acid mix to no avail. Anyone any idea what they are and how to get rid of them?

My DH suffers from gout and it is indeed a very painful condition. The only thing that brings any relief is medication, as FD already stated, go and see your GP to get a proper diagnosis.

I agree with the suggestion about the golf clubs, it is nice weather to sit outside and most of the clubs have a childrens play area

I agrre, they are lovely to see. I saw one really low over JVT this morning, I'm sure it was coming in to land but when I went out to look for it, I couldn't find it, that said, nor could I see it in the air. It's a mystery!!

Sorry I can't help with the answer, however, I was just about to ask the same question. I also have 2 black bags containing garden waste outside my villa in JVT that has not been uplifted, I have previously put out extra bags of household waste that was taken. It looks like it may not be in their remit to take garden rubbish.

I have just started looking for one too. Geant at Ibn Battuta Mall showed me a picture of one that they could order for me, it was Daewoo make and I think it was 999aed. I didn't pay too much attention as I would rather see something before I buy it, however, if the shops don't have them in stock, I may need to reconsider. Let me know if you find one please.

My friend had a bunion op yesterday in the uk, she was told to stay off her feet for two weeks and other than going to the toilet, she was to sit with her foot elevated. The full recuperation time is six weeks.

Tragedy after tragedy... second in recent times, wonder what's happening to Malaysian airlines... very sad indeed... I have just heard on the tv that several other airlines were flying in the area at the same time, it could have happened to any one of them. It's a terrible tragedy for all involved.

My plan is to get the bus from AD to Ibn Battuta Mall and then get the metro. I read on this site that on the Bur Dubai side I can find lots of stalls selling fabrics and crafts and then get an abra to the other side to the spice souk, as I'm not sure where I'm going, an idiots guide would be much appreciated.

Have you told her to stop coming round? we did like twice.. and she still comes, now we just ignore the bell when she comes.. Could you ask the building security to stop letting her into the building, if she is not a resident, she has no reason to be there

I think under the circumstances, it is not unreasonable for your step dd to spend a few hours with you in the morning, after all, it would be nice for her to spend a bit of time with her siblings on xmas morning before going on to join her mother.

He is brilliant, I had major dental work done a couple of years ago ,having avoided the dentist for many years (it showed badly). He was extremely kind and patient, I barely felt him giving the injections and the end result was excellent.It was not cheap but definitely worth it.

I have been dealing with this as well. I was referred to a Dr who performed blood tests. They will try to determine if the main cause is genetic, hormonal, or some type of definancy. I was told to try Regain and have noticed regrowth after months of use. I also have been taking supplements ( Omega 3/6, biotin, silica and just started Inversion). I also use coconut oil, almond , and argon oil mixes. I will try the castor now too! When I returned for my 5 month followup visit the Dr recommended I get 20-30 mintues of sun a day without sunblock (even though I do not have a D deficiancy). Dr said to make sure my SCALP is EXPOSEd to the sun as well for 20-30 minutes. not to cover my hair. Do you apply the oil mix to wet or dry hair and how much do you use?
