Try asking security in Trident Bayside, I think they may have numbers direct with the Landlords. 2bed unfurnished going for about 90-100 now. Lovely building with great finish, near Marina Metro too. Check out Dubizzle website aswell, you will find loads of apartments on there. Enjoy the UK weather it hit 38 today here, winter is over, brace yourself for the hot summer.

Aww what a shame that you have become terrified of the aspect of giving birth. All I can say its one of those pains that is soon fogotten when you hold your beautiful little one in your arms. I suggest you talk to your doctor and go thru your birthing plan. Im all for any mum to be to take what ever pain relief they need or want!!. Dont panic, we are all so different, some of us have a very low pain threshold and some of us dont. Childbirth is one of those subjects its hard to explain, but all so worth while. big hug to the OP.

Fretty, babies will want to get away with murder if we let them, you may need to try and put him in his crib with a music mobile and try and not hold him so much. I can understand this will be hard, but babies memory span is so short he will get used to it, honestly. He may cry for a wee while, dont fret to much, unless he really does heartly cries. Hope this helps.

Im no expert but DD mentioned the lions were acting mental, pacing up and down, there was no water in the enclosure either. So very sad. Did I read a while ago they have cut the food allowance to the animals as they havent enough money. So the poor creatures are going hungry aswell.

My DD has been here over a year and met only one friend, and with working and not really going out much it can be difficult to meet new people. May I suggest you try and look on FB and search for ladies meet ups in Dubai, there are a few groups out there.

I always want to believe when we learn to drive to stick to the rules taught us. Far to many accidents due to seeing cars reversing down roads, LL make note to self, drive properly with due care and attention for yourself and others. Do forget Dubai is such a dangerous place for driving, you risked your own safety and that of others.

Far too many people want pets for the wrong reason. The cost alone to have a cat here is expensive. My one one cat has costed me 1000dhs in vet bills last month, and with a further 600 next week for teeth cleaning. The OP needs to consider all this before taking on any cute kitten.

My goodness salsB you are still up - I think I know what you are saying about driving - I will not have the option and will have to force myself to think positive and possibly not be an ambler on the roads but a bit more assertive. That is another reason for me to find schools first and then housing at a manageable distance from the school - although I guess I could also consider school transport if I feel it is safe and affordable. Oh decisions decisions decisions! Hope you get some sleep soon, please don't tell me you have to be up at some very early hour:) Yes cant beleive im up so late!!!!!!!!! lol, no I dont work, havent got time, haha
