I think it really does depend on who takes the car in and what registration centre you use... but when it comes to tyres never take a chance, its not worth it... a blow out is very scary and very dangerous...

Can we have more confessions on EW please. :D Maybe a funny story? This morning I rang Dh to tell him that I was ovulating and he needed to come straight home after work and he replied, in a rather loud and abrupt voice, "Thank you for that useful information. I'll be sure to action that later on" He was in a meeting :\: Glad to see that romance is not dead - er.... what are you doing on EW? When one is 40 with low ovarian reserves, then ovulating is all the excitement we need and with that Ill bid you ladies a good evening :) Go for it !! Good luck... ;)

Even the classy ones are messy - last time I was at Spectrum on One (Fairmont) with 550dhs price tag, people could barely stand and a lady was being violently ill in the toilets!! Azur at Raffles is lovely, Al Qasr and Westin are 500dhs+ I believe. God I don't understand it.. really I don't. But there you go... greed. Thanks DB I will have a look at Azur. Thanks

We are in Layan and have a very big plot. For grass all round, bricked border, basic planting in the border, 2 smaller extra patios (interlock) and 2 full size palm trees and a small fence and gate was 10,000 3 years ago. But probably spent that again since... hope that helps.

Then moved on to [url=http://www.off-roadexplorer.com/oman/western-hajar-_-south/jabal-shams/'>Jebel Shams[/url'>. Camped out here for the 1st night. Came down Jebel Shams and then went up [url=http://www.off-roadexplorer.com/oman/western-hajar-_-south/sayq-plateau'>Jebel Akhdar[/url'> and camped for the 2nd night. We headed out driving through the mountains, passed through [url=http://www.off-roadexplorer.com/oman/western-hajar-_-north/wadi-bani-awf'>Snake Gorge area[/url'> ([u'>[i'>amazing[/i'>[/u'> views) and came out on the East coast. Need to look up the exact routes, email me at goodmorningxox-EW001 @ yahoo . com if you need them! xx Sounds great.... when we lived in Muscat we did sooooo much exploring and camping but in the last 3 years not so much so is great to get other peoples routes etc. That would be great to get the details... dropping you a mail now :-) Thanks

I feel dead the first 2 days. Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, light headed and generally no energy. Anyone else feel like this? Take Evening of Primrose Oil everyday... it will take a few weeks to kick in but works well. I take 3000mg per day in 3 seprate doses.

That's a coincidence! I'd be interested in prices too as I may try to get some things copied. I tried in the past but they were never quite right and it ends up being a costly mistake if the fabric was expensive. I bought material for 3 dresses today to copy quite a pricey dress, so quite excited to get it copied.
