I don't know about now but in the UK when my children were of vaccination age Chicken pox wasn't available.. It was only given to pregnant women who were at risk of catching it I remember Mums wanting their kids to get it when they were young and it is far more dangerous in older people.

Hi All, I would just like to add that although the LL can give 12 months notice, it cannot be for the reason of obtaining new tenants paying a higher rental fee. He can only give the 12 months notice if him himself or his next of kin are moving in to the property and then he has to prove to the rent committee that he or his next of kind have no other means of accommodation in the emirates. The LL is not allowed to rent the property for 24 months to other tenants after you have vacated the property if you were served the 12 months notice. These rules have been put in place to stop LLs being able to simply get rid of tenants for higher paying tenants. . All very good. But how do you enforce it? Does the former tenant visit his old place and check who is there ? I would go all Columbo and make it my business to find out My friend did and successfully got 1 years rent back from her LL :-)

I gave birth last week and since 2 days I have red flaky burning skin on my face. I feel like I am turning into a red lizard woman, no matter what I put on my face to hydrate, it burns like (bleep). Any of you ladies have a good way to treat hyper sensitive ultra-dry postpartum skin? I use the Dermologica age defying orange mask as my skin is so sensitive, it calms my skin down immediately Anything perfumed or from Clarins/Elizabeth Arden/Chanel etc just makes mine worse

I'm sorry to hear about your daughter, chickenpox can be really nasty. I don't know about neem leaves, but we found calamine lotion was quite good to relieve the itching of chickenpox blisters. I should think you can get the lotion in Boots the Chemist, if not other chemists here, though I don't know for sure. Also, I have heard suggested a cool bath with porridge oats in it helps; failing porridge oats, apparently you can use bicarbonate of soda. Good luck, I hope she feels better soon. Thanks. I am trying to get hold of Calamine .In the meantime tried Bicarb-soda it is a bit of a relief for her. I am worried about blisters turning in to scars specially if she tends to scratch I scratched mine to death. I got it at 19 from my baby nephew I have a couple of scars but they are tiny Calamine helped. It is best they get it young as when you are older can develop in shingles which is nasty

It's because so many people don't know their rights, that some LL's think they can bully people. Until more people start fighting back, they just keep getting away with it. The authorities really need to look at this whole situation before it gets out of hand again. There should be caps on how much properties can be rented for. Things can't just keep going up expanentially. Read the front page of 7 days today

Hi....just checking for any recommendations on online shopping sites from the UK and US for shipping to Dubai? Am particularly inquiring for girls clothing brands (tweens/teens). I know Gap from the US deliver to Dubai but prices are the same as Dubai retail stores. Thanks in advance. River Island do a teenage section and you can have their online store clothing sent here for 10GBPs only. I use them all the time New Look deliver to Dubai also Marks and Spencer will but you have to go into the store in the UK to purchase the items then they will deliver it here?

The issue here is not whether Madge or myself would leave, it is that many more like us would make that choice, [b'>essentially creating a bit of a brain drain[/b'>. Not good considering Dubai is trying to accomplish greater things. Not really - i think that a lot of overpaid expats will leave but due to the issues in the rest of the Arab world a lot of very qualified Arab nationals are moving here. I know of numerous Levant nationalities who are very well qualified who have moved here in the last year; and with issues in Syria getting worse and Egypt and Lebanon becoming increasing unstable there will be a lot of available people with the qualifications and greater skills (bilingual) to take the jobs of westerners, at a third the cost. The problems there will be visas for them

Hi girls, My residence visa has been cancelled on the 14 th of august. I have to do the visa run to Oman, however I have heard from the consulate that it' s illegal to do visa runs. I am very worried about this since I was planning to do many visa runs. Could you please tell me what's so risky about it as there are many people doing it. I have another question: How can I get a residence visa beside having a job off-course. What are my options? Can I get a visa if I buy an apartment ? Hope to hear from you soon as am little but of worried about all of this. regards sara What passport do you have? Lots of my friends do visa runs with no problems at all ( They are from the UK) I wouldn't expect a visa if you buy an apartment either. That can be a very grey area

Hi Ladies, Its come to that time where I need to re-register my car. It's my first time doing so and I have a couple of questions. I understand that I get 13 months insurance which expires end of october. My car registration runs out the end of this month. Am I right in thinking that I get a months grace to get it done? I have searched and searched and have come across conflicting information. If it has to be done this month do I need to get new insurance or do I take in the certificate that I have as it is still valid for another month. Also, what is it they do when it the car is being 'tested'? And roughly how much am I looking at paying for re-registration? Sorry for all the questions! Thank you in advance :) YES.....you get a month's grace from the RTA. Then only a 25aed fine per month. (I just edited this as I see others claim 25aed per day. wow!! This may be true but I was told 25aed on the phone). But...you cannot register without insurance. Just did it myself before the summer. I failed to register the car when it expired on my tag for the same reason as you. 13 months of insurance. I had no fine when I went but itt was before the end of the 13th month. Also...The cost is cheap to renew and no problem at all. 150aed for the test. Cost to register with sticker is about 350aed depending on the size. FYI!!!! If you have ANY tint on your windshield....they will FAIL you. I am talking about factory tint too! new rule. If it is not clear glass (only on the windshield) they will fail you. Apparently the rest of the windows don't matter. I managed to get a pass after failing by arguing with the manager and he allowed them to pass me but noted my result (had to pay 50aed for a re-test) but they left the tint (it was factory) Also...the emergency triangle I had to buy last year. It was 40aed. They charged me inside. Did somebody put 400aed by mistake? I can't see it going up 10 times the amount! edited by Coriander on 09/09/2013 I was 3 months out by registration and my fine was 75AED not 25AED a day as someone posted :-)

Hi Flames, not wanting to dampen yours (see what I did there), but unfortunately rents have risen a fair bit this year and I think you'll struggle to find a 3 bed near Knowledge Village for 85k. I've been helping out a few staff member of OH's who are just moving over and only yesterday compiled a list from the rent index of 1 bed apartments, this is what they are: Dubai Marina - 80k - 110k Jumeirah Lakes Towers - 70k - 90k JBR - 90k - 120k Tecom - 65k - 75k Business Bay - 70k - 90k Greens - 75k - 80k Down Town - 90k - 110k Bearing in mind you want 3 beds, the rent will be significantly higher than the above. Hope that helps you and Good Luck with your search. New towers in the Greens up to 95! 2 beds in the greens 120 in some areas ouch

Hi there! DH and I live in the Springs, and have family coming to stay with us over Christmas and New Year. We need to find somewhere to put them up for as little money as possible! I spoke to the 'Holiday Shop' and they want 15,000 AED for a 2 bed apartment in Marina for 10 nights!? We pay that for 2 months in our villa... My mother-in-law and other half will be staying with us (oh the joy!) but we need to rent somewhere for my brother-in-law, sister-in-law and their 3 children aged 1, 6 & 9. A 2 bedroom apartment would be more than enough but having looked at a few places I can't believe how expensive they are! Can anyone recommend a cheap serviced apartment or hotel at the Emirates Hills end of town, ie. Al Barsha, JLT, Greens, Marina, etc? Alternatively is anyone leaving the country over Christmas and New Year and fancy making a bit of money renting their place out!? It'd be very well looked after! Thanks, Leonie Gloria Hotel Yassat Gloria Near Media City next to Metro

Thank you in advance :) You should get the 1 month grace as you cannot insure it for 1 month if that makes sense If they weren't feeling in a good mood the fine for being a month late is AED25 They test the wheels, brakes, lights ( standard stuff) If you have illegal tint on your windows you will be asked to take it off ( Happened to 2 of my friends) and if you do not have a warning triangle you have to buy one it costs 400AED thereabouts plus fines if you have any <em>edited by sarahlou123 on 08/09/2013</em>

Definitely get married, you need to consider medical cover for yourself and your child, all the other things like driving a car, looking for a job is so much easier when you are married and 'legal'. You will save yourselves a lot of hassle and as the others said a quick court ceremony (which we did) will do the trick and it doesn`t cost anything :) Driving a car and looking for job is easier when you are married? I am reading that bit wrong :-)

So, ready to buy a freestanding freezer and a new vacuum (fitted carpets and tiles, little kids, no pets). I only know that I should avoid Fisher&Paykel (which I was offered at discount) and Beko white goods. Kindly advise! I was a huge fan of Dyson however as they were overpriced here compared to the UK I bought the new Hoover Airforce ( pets one) I don't have pets but oh my goodness this hoover is amazing. The suction is fantastic and it has the longest cord ever so you can get round the house The suction is that powerful it lifted my living room rug off the floor haha It cost AED850 from C4

Hi there, I will move in to Jumeirah Islands in a few weeks and was wondering if it is necessary to fit in an alarm system ? I will be mostly on my own with two kids as DH will be commuting so a bit concerned about sefety. I know Dubai is very safe but want to check since going in and out of JI seems easy there is no need to fit an alarm system just make sure that all your doors etc are locked, you will be surprised how many dont... I wouldn't think so, I have friends that live there and they have never had an issue with safety

Tried meetup once, was a meat market...literally...never again. Been here for so many years yet can't help but feel Dubai is one of the loneliest places on Earth with total lack of communities, etc.....very difficult if you don't have children...it being a transit city doesn't help either... My friend joined recently said exactly the same!!! I was fortunate as I work in a Female dominated environment and house shared with a lovely girl who is now one of my closest friends here It is difficult to meet new people especially now. I feel many years ago there were less people so it was so much easier. Most of my friends met people at the gym classes

Hi would love to have some of your opinion about the Dubai flea market. I have lots of nice dresses that i do not want to sell for 20 dhs also lots of computer games that are still 250 dhs in the shops and dont want to be offered 10 dhs i know its a flea market but i do want to make some money the table is 300 dhs do you think i can make a lot of money or do you think i will just break even taking into count the fee for the table. I have around 5 suitcases of stuff and its all really good quality. I done want to go and pay all the money if i am going to get stupid offer. A flea market where i am from cost no more than 50dhs why is it so much here? Would really appricate your advise if any of you have done one before thanks :) I have lots of clothes especially dresses which cost quite a bit and have been worn once or twice! I have had too much negative feedback about flea market so will try elsewhere Good Lucj

So many of us in the same boat, I have been here since May and non stop job searching all to no avail... it does make you wonder just how people get employed here!! DH tells me to enjoy being a lady of leisure but I need my own independence and want to work!! I to would take any thing admin, reception, etc GOOD LUCK EVERYONE :-/ Giggles it a lot of luck and having the right role land on a recruiters desk Pre 2009 there were roles galore however after the crash everything changed Clients can afford to be really choosy when it comes to hiring staff and as there are no active PC laws here they can chose gender, nationality, age etc You have to keep bashing away at it, this time of year historically is quiet and towards the end of the year companies write their budgets Good Luck!

Sorry if this seems like an obvious question but have you checked the 'silent' switch on the top left side? It is a physical switch that can easily get caught on a pocket or something. When you switch it a bell with a line through it should appear on the screen to show it is in silent mode, in this mode the phone will only vibrate. A bell without a line will show it is not in silent mode. the + and - buttons beneath this button allow you to increase and decrease the volume when switching to not silent mode (iPhone needs to be unlocked at the time of moving silent mode switch) Here is some more information (images are iPhone 3 but the switch is in the same place) http://www.imore.com/iphone-101-iphone-ringing-meet-silent-switch Image of iPhone 4 showing switch (ringer button) http://ipod.about.com/od/introductiontotheiphone/ss/Anatomy-Of-Iphone-4.htm If you have tried this switch then there is a possibility it is malfunctioning. There are a number of forums I can direct you to for possible solutions on this if it is a malfunctioning switch (of course if it is a hardware fault then it will need repair). I checked everything, all i ws doing was having a facetime conversation, and all of a sudden therewas no sound!!!! completely puzzled.... grrrrr Salsa Google the problem I find threads for iphone problems on the internet very helpful Failing that its restore Plug your phone into the computer and back it all up first then you wont lost anything Wasn't the world easier with the old Nokia phones haha my one from 2004 is still going strong and it went for a swim in the bath!
