Hi Ladies, Wonder if you can help. My daughter has quite a big Sebaceous cyst on her arm that must have doubled in size over the last year. I've taken her to the doctors and dermatologist and I keep getting conflicting advice to either remove it or leave it alone, so we are not sure what to do. The problem is as it's getting bigger, the doctor said it's probably best to remove now as the bigger it gets the worse a scar it will leave when it does get removed. Does anyone have any experience with these and could you recommend a good pediatric surgeon/dermatologist who could remove this if we decide to go down this route? My daughter is 8. Thanks in advance x

Hi ladies, I just wondered if you are giving your maid a holiday for Islamic New Year? I'm a bit confused if it's falling today or tomorrow and if I should be giving my maid the day off tomorrow? thanks!

Hi everyone, Just to be clear, you can only get an ETD from the British embassy for your child if they cancel their residency visa is that correct? :(

On the Dubai calendar it's saying 2nd August to 5th September for the summer suprises. I'm looking to buy a new sofa, just wondering if I should be waiting for any sales but if this is not till August maybe I should just go ahead? Does anyone have any info on upcoming sales? thanks... Home Centre and HomesRUs are both currently on sale... in case you like their sofa collection Thanks will check them out :)

there is always the disclaimer that dont book any travel plans without first having your renewed passport in hand..... so even if it takes 6 months they will not be at fault. I know, I have seen that :( should have got it off earlier but just due to personal circumstances. Hoping that it will be OK but looks like we will probably have to change our flights. Just wondering if there is anything I can do to help matters....

Hi Ladies, I'm worried about my daughters passport too. They received it 2 weeks ago. When I completed the application it was saying on their website it would take 3 weeks and once they had received it the website turnaround time changed to 6 weeks. Our holiday is touch and go now :(. I see a lot of you are calling them, does it help? or should I just wait a few week? thanks.... they will not talk to you i think unless 4 weeks has past.... you may be lucky but i doubt it. when do you need it back? could you not have sent it sooner and avail of the 9 months window? edited by busybee2 on 03/06/2014 Thanks, need it back for first week in July....fingers crossed.....

I am in the same situation looking for blackout curtains and blinds, I've had 3 quotes including Jamal for 2 windows and it's just way too expensive . I have already spent a small fortune on curtains for a rented house and these are the last ones I need due to my DD wakening early with the light in the hall!!. Once you buy the curtains from Dragon mart/Homecentre what do you do about poles and hanging them? are you just doing it yourself? thinking of sending DH while we are on holiday so need all the info for him!! thanks....

Hi ladies, Came back to my car today to see someone had scraped my car door paintwork by someone opening their door against my car presumably. As it was a bad scrape I phoned the police and I now have the slip to go to the police station at the trade centre tomorrow. My question is what happens when you get there? Can my husband go on my behalf with all the documents (he is a registered driver on my car) or do i need to be there in person as its my car? Does anyone know what time it opens? What documents are required and how long it takes? Thanks!!!

Thank you so much for you help. On her Imupro 300 food intolerance report they have said she has an allergy level 3 reaction to gluten, dairy and eggs and they must be strictly avoided. It just comes as such a shock and it feels like these foods especially dairy and eggs seem to be in everything. I'm wondering if she should be doing the celiac test and how I go about it....

Hi ladies, Just looking for some advice...My daughter has had a food intolerance test done and it turns out she needs to completely cut out gluten, dairy and eggs from her diet. She is only 6 and I really don't know where to start!! I wonder if you ladies would be able to give me some advice on sourcing food products and how to go about all of this....thanks x
