Mega annoyed with C4 bought matchmaker chocolates in MOE on Tuesday went to MCC the following day and the same chocolates were more than double the price, I then checked another few item they were also more expensive in MCC. Spoke to the grocery supervisor and he could not explain why and I was told I would be better going to MOE to buy the chocolates:\: . Left a complaint with the store manager who surprise surprise has not got back to me yet ...... So much for 48 hour reply time. So just beware!!!!!

I moved from Dubai to Qatar ( and then back to Dubai ) Yes I did miss Dubai but I had no choice but to make the best of my time in Doha. I found Doha a more friendly and helpful place than Dubai, although the driving in much worse than Dubai :). I cant really help with Schools but one of the main issues I found was that alot of villa came fully furnished and it was harder to try and find an empty villa but may that has changed in the last year, we loved the fact the rent was paid monthly! I would have loved to have been able to stay in West bay but it was out of our budget so we lived near to Aspire/Villagio. The other main change is that on a Friday the few shops that were open the morning closed for prayers at lunch time, the number of times I was chased out of C4 :)

There are ways around it ;) I was a TA but on my labour card it stated I was a nanny, as you needed certain qualification to be classed as a TA, despite the fact I have a few A levels and a university degree they would not count as it had not been attested by the ministry which the school would no pay for so I had to settle for being offically classed as a nanny.

They are from new zealand they are great they have 1 for newborn until 2yrs and then 2yrs until 4yrs. They are also good because they have harness holes so you can use them in carseats and buggies. There is a local online site selling them <em>edited by Sharry on 13/07/2011</em>

I had a D&C as I had a period that would not stop, I had been bleeeding for a few months, they did the D&C and checked everything out and it was due to a hormonal inbalance, but since then my periods have been much better.

I know that concieve was mega busy last weeks as I was there a few times for scans, the main thing I love about Dr Pankaj is his honesty, he wont waste your time and money if he doesnt honestly feel that he can get you pregnant.

It is etisilat and they are in the process of upgrading to the fibre optics cabels, so you should be able to get it when you move in. Nice place to live, even nicer if they ever fix the swimming pool!!!

My DH just got his back after 12 weeks, there was a problem with the photo, but they never told us this, we only found this out by phoning the credit card paid hotline number to be told it was with security and that somebody would be in touch, he got a call 3 days later to say his picture was not acceptable and to send a new one from then it only took 3 weeks.

My DH must be the only person to get stopped for bringing in too much booze, He had 4 litre of spirts and 24 cans of beer and got stopped, although they were really good and let him return to duty free for a refund on the excess, although maybe they should never have sold it all to him in the first place!

My DH left the UAE with 6 months and week on his passport and he warned to come back in he would have to have more than 6 months left on his passport, and he had a resident visa. Also he sent his UK passport away for renewal at the end of Feb and it is still not back so they are not always quick at renewing it!
