Does anyone have a link or page that lists the 'official' school starting age here in the UAE. I'm looking through the KHDA site but can't seem to find it. Also, is the first 'compulsory' grade FS1, FS2 or Grade 1? Is there a link to that too? Thanks a bunch.

So sorry about your sister Anne. Keeping both of you in prayers. Tell your sister a stupid joke and record her laugh, it's not much, but it'll bring back such fond memories when you'll watch it later. Hugs xxx

I second La Germania. I used to have the gas hob + gas oven and now have the gas hob + electric oven, and have had great experiences both times. Easy and practical to use and clean, nothing fancy, bought it at Plug-ins Festival City.

because the arabic word for salon is written as 'saloon', it probably just started from there ..

no such update, i've received the one book, still waiting for the others. after i spoke to TBD initially they refunded me the cost of one of the books (even though i don't think it's their fault at all), while empost insist my tracking number doesn't exist. got back to TBD asking them what the next step was, and was told it would take around five weeks for the books to be sent back to them, and then they'll let me know so i can send a p.o. box number and they'd ship the books back to me. empost could learn a whole bunch from TBD honestly :\:

anyone ordered recently from the book depository? i ordered 5 books, one of which arrived today and i gave them the home address, no po box. empost charged me 30dhs for the delivery and after a long fight over the phone, they refused to budge on the amount, giving me a whole bunch of stupid reasons. we've never had any problem with the address before, and i haven't heard of anyone else being charged, whether or not they gave a po box number. do i now have to pay 150dh extra for the books?!

Coco's also have a nice selection of cakes, you can just pick it up at any of their branches, and I think they do writing as well.

thanks k3! my tummy's becoming huge too, but it's smaller than last time thank goodness! i keep a flat pillow under it now at night to make sleeping comfortable. i do the middle of the night wake up too, to find myself sleeping on my back. the thing is i find it really painful, my back really hurts when i turn over. i don't know whether it's because of the spinal from the c-sec the first time, but it huuurts! the docs say you shouldn't lie on your back after the first tri as the tummy gets bigger and puts pressure on your spine. <em>edited by square whisk on 22/02/2012</em>

No problem, just make sure you don't sync and backup to icloud at the same time, I did it and all the tabs got greyed out, restrictions got enabled and I had to do the factory restore :/:

Go to preferences &gt; parental . Check if restrictions are enabled, if they are, turn them off, turn off your ipod and then restart it, then try syncing again.

It's been over half an hour, she should call mall security. They have a PA system in the mall and can help find out where the parent/s is/are. If they can't be found, call the police.

Magnolia hands down (full marks for moistness and the yummy yum yum icing), then Hey Sugar (Magnolia's icing is better), then Kitsch (not so moist, icing ok).

They had Australian, Pakistani, Indian and one other (US?). But the majority was Pakistani or Indian meat though, I agree with snugs, it seemed more catered to them. Zannie do they do your choice of seasoning for the sausages? Will go check them out too.

Went there for the first time over the weekend, it was quite clean and well run. The butchers knew their cuts and made the meat like I told them to. Meat prices more or less the same as elsewhere, the chicken was a bit expensive but very clean so that made up for it. The only thing I didn't like was the goats heads staring at me from behind the counter :\: eta: yes the meat was very fresh, better than what you find generally at supermarkets <em>edited by square whisk on 20/02/2012</em>

Its the sort that the government usually bans. It doesn't give emarati men and women a shining name! neither does city of life though, yet they show it here.

you get free valet at some of the malls with valtrans (moe, dcc and micc recently excluded), plus extra airmiles when you pay with the premier card and give your airmiles card as well..
