for the deep cleaning of my villa, after tenant left, couple of months back I used Tool Time and I've been impressed!!!I've maintenance contract with them but i didn't know about cleaning division. they are going up and down, each corner, each part...bathrooms never been so cleaned...as well as cupboards, tiles,floors... very good job and the cost was below other quotations ( only 1 company gave me same price) Now they are coming once a month for windows and pave yard.

i've received below email. There are so many "crooks" around, and that' s hard to know who is telling the truth ' :( Do you know something about? Da: Karama Kanteen Data: 25/03/2012 19.42.11 A: Karama Kanteen Oggetto: HELP UONE Hello Bed no 3, Ward 16 at ICU [Trauma'> unit at Rasheed hospital. A 3 year old child with a neck collar and tubes in and out of his little body, lies there battling to start living a normal life soon. This is how I saw little Eone when I went to visit him last Thursday. Initially I wasnt allowed to enter the ICU, but on request I was given special permission and so was able to see the baby. I spoke with Peter, his father who was at his bedside ever since he has been admitted. Mabelle, his mother was at work. Euone is not covered under medical insurance and hence they have appealed for financial support from whoever can help. Please read her request below. Her bank details are also mentioned. Like always, you have the choice of either transferring the amount directly to the bank, or hand over cash to them directly or through me. I would appreciate if you keep me in the loop either ways! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Roshni, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for all your effort in helping us in raising funds for my son. I have attached one letter which you could also send to you contacts. Here are my account details for your reference: xxx Thanks & regards, Mabelle HELP UONE We are humbly seeking for your kind support in contributing any amount to cover the hospitalization cost of our 3 year old son Uone. He had an accident which resulted to Polytrauma (Cervical & Thoracic spine fracture, bilateral pneumothorax and spelenic contusion). He is confined in Rashid Hospital since 6th of March 2012. He has undergone spine operation and tracheotomy. He is now recovering but he needs to undergo a long term therapy as the movement and sensation of his lower extremities were affected by the contusion of the lower spine. We would be forever grateful for any help that you could extend to our son. GOD BLESS YOU ALL! Sincerely, Peter and Mabelle -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take care and God bless Have a nice day Roshni [b'>ETA- personal details and bank account details removed by Admin[/b'>

singingwales , dear, please think very well about this....it can be a nice thing...but it can be hellish situation. i wish just to report the experience of friend of mine here in dubai when stepson decided to come ... . dad divorced after 8 years of living alone because wife didn't like to follow him all around the world ( because of his job) The excuse was the son...still too young...why to change the school???friends??? house.???? and so on. Son never liked the school or responsabilities.... after divorce , and after spending 2 yr in saudi arabia, he has been transferred in dubai. he then met my friend, they married after 2 years living together. both working ... Son came twice here on vacation every time (for 2 weeks every year)...dad was visiting him almost every 3 months... he decided 2 y. back ,he was 18, to join dad as " I have no future and no opportunities in UK...I want get diploma, I want finish school, I want learn and get a job...." dad always patient, pleaser person, convinced my friend to accept him. She was reluctant but she said " yes". He came here...thinking to go out every night, sleeping till noon, asking always money for cigarettes and pubs, doing nothing at home, talking with mum and friend on the phone!!!hours and hours....no skype or other...only by phone!!! Etisalat bill was 3,000 - 2,000 - 2,500 aed.... he has been asked many many times to reduce the phone calls....nothing! Company was not paying for education , dad decided to pay for vocational school but after 6 months ( he was attending just 2-3 days a week) he said that teachers were against him.... every time my friend was telling him something....the usual reply was ' you're not my mother"...when dad told him to respect his wife ....he was very very unpolite with vulgar language . But dad was justifying him ....always. ... no maid at home....and as I said both working...he never , never washed something or cleaned table or his room...nothing... Nightmare. After 1,5 years my friend told husband " I'm going....when your son respects me ...I'll come back" After 6 months he decided to go back to mum... now thanks God everything is normal... I don't remember all....but situation was almost like this....

I'm really sorry to hear your bad experiences...:( I've contract with them after cancelling Emrill , Renovo and H&G TT is not worst than others; on the contrary I've found them always very polite and kind....and skilled !!! Of course they are not perfect, as well as me, and as humains....mistakes are always behind the corner ! I'm trying to be always kind with staff as well as with my maid and driver because what we receive it's sometime the result of the way we are approaching other people ! I'm not in business with them and I don't have particular interests with them ... I can tell you I have left in my room jewels, money , mobiles, and in our study room notebook, iPAD, and many items, IPOD in my son' s room , CD's everywhere...and we never missed any of them. Spongemonkey, you said "...Unfortunately didn't notice the exact occasion but knew that the said item was in the house after our move and then was not after all the various initial visits from them...." maybe the maid changed its place or damaged it and decided to throw it, or to hide the same??? no other people at home??never guests???never friends visiting you? if I'm not home when they are coming,( I'm working lady) , I make inspection as soon as I'm back ...but I'm always trying to be present, as I want understand what they are doing, and they can explain me the problems as well. But dear I would have no exitations to call the Police if something is missing and I'm sure about my impression. I wish you both better services in the future.:)

tell your sister to make online check in... this will allow her to see the plan of the aircraft... considering the 10 months child, I would suggest to book the seats normally on the row 45 (if I'm not wrong...it depends from aircraft) ...it is the 1st row in economic with big space in front of the seats so the baby can sleep... hope this helps...

In my maintenance contract with Tool Time I've annual water tank cleaning...even if I'm not drinking tap water !!! Wgen I bought my house I cleaned the water tank twice per year but now the Company told me that once a year is enough as the tank keeps clean The Food Control Department of Dubai Municipality organized a campaign to clean water tanks and water coolers. “The campaign aims to increase public awareness by focusing on the importance of water and the need to protect its sources and preserve the safety of drinking water,” said Khalid Mohammed Sharif, Director of Food Control Department at the Municipality, adding that the campaign focuses on the cleanliness of water tanks, domestic water coolers, and public water vending places. Sharif said that the aim of this campaign is to create an awareness among consumers regarding the importance of preserving the safety of water through the periodic cleaning of the tanks by using the services of cleaning companies approved by the Municipality as they comply with the required hygienic conditions. “The Department has developed a comprehensive guide to cleaning of the tank as a first step, as listed among its most important strategic priorities as stated in the Local Order 11 of 2003, which has been applied to all food establishments and factories in the emirate,” said Sharif. He emphasized the participation of the public and private sectors in maintaining the cleanliness of tanks present in their building premises by conducting periodic checks to make sure it was safe, structurally and hygienically. “
