I had a tummy tuck in jan this year... I needed help to move to wash to dress for at least 2 week..I thought I'd be out and about after a week..not a chance ..it took a good 4 weeks recovery..and even then I wasn't 100% I had mine done in the UK by a very reputable Dr at a private hospital.. He was so good am having a boob reduction with him next month.. Do your research.. I found it was half price in the UK to what they charge in Dubai... But find a good surgeon with good recommendations from his previous patients.

Emirates mum...I highly recommend marriage guidance with dr jarred Alden... am sure he would help you..you could even go to see him on your own..he is wonderful My situation was a trust issue..not infidelity but step kids...he made me feel like I was NOT going mad and any other wife would react the same way as me! It did help us with our issues as he made my husband listen to my side of things.. Jared is at German neuroscience center at health care city.. Good luck

Did anyone buy this voucher from groupon? I did for our anniversary this weekend..wev been informed that avionics travel have nothing to do with groupon so they have offered us Movenpick on jbr or a studio in the Hilton !!?? If you buy a voucher for a hotel on the palm ...isn't that what they are supposed to give you? Soo mad and disappointed..did anyone else have this problem?? I just want a refund but they are giving us the chase! If I'd have wanted a hotel on JBR I'd have chose a voucher for that..are they allowed to do this ? TIA

On Rak and Ajman The latest was in April in fujairah ., speeds exceeding 200 km so he can't pay the fine even if we wanted to he has to go into Fujairah..let's hope they have the photo ?? He was in Abu Dhabi at a meeting...It's got to be a cloned reg.. ?

Arghhh thanks Joyce b, am feeling a liitle better tonight, because I know she's happy.. She's staying with my at the moment too young to stay on her own ..been here too long , she's waiting for her results, she's been to college here fo hairdressing, shes had lots of opportunities here fashion shoots cat walk shows etc..thinks it's going be same in the UK?? Haha we older ones know different..but am expecting in a few week with no job no money..things might not look soo greener?? DH knows am upset and he's the punch bag for now..but after new year am planning nights away we couldn't do because we couldn't go before because dd too scared to leave...so I suppose it's our time before grand kids.. I know itsbwhat she wants an it kills me for her no to be here ...but it's her life now...she still need us but from afar, and its going to be a lot adjusting.. not easy..I know ...but that's how is, and if she's happier..then eventually il be ok.........eventually!! I hope?

I too dont comment but i jus had to today.. Your not alone..my daughter left yesterday fo the UK, she's 18 and thinks the grass is greener, but also has had cyber bulling here, that has helped her to make her mind up to go... It is like a death to me, words cannot describe how I feel..I never cryed when she was packing or saying good bye, I kept the lid on my emotions because I didnt want her to see how it had hit me, but as soon as she drove off I was on my knees crying..I wasn't prepared for the heart ache..literally like my heart had been cut out.. I couldn't take her to the airport, this was to protect myself, as when she went I waved her off and said "have a nice holiday, because I know youl be back"!...I hope!! The worst is the emptiness of the house, no more mum mum, no more boom box blasting out of her room, it's the going upstairs and seeing her empty room that kills me, so last night I had to turn her lamp on ..as though she was still here..I know it will seem crazy to others but it's a way of being in denial I guess.. Am being distant with DH at the moment, aim taking it out of him a bit..we came when she was 12 with his job, and am thinking it's his fault..we should have stayed in the UK!..but then my reality kicks in and thinks of all the opportunities she's had here and she Definatley wouldn't have had if we had stayed in the UK ..he's upset too but he's like a dog ..keeping his head down incase I shout at him...I know it's not his fault, am just upset and he's the onlyone I can't take it out of at the moment.. So this is day 2 without her..and it's no better..but i am just going to have to get used to it, I only have her so she is my life, but I guess thers only me that can help myself..so am going to keep busy, going to declut the house, am going to make myself go to the gym..and am counting the weeks down till I see her in febuary.. I just wanted to let those know who are going through this, your not alone in how you feel, and what am feeling must be ok, as my friend felt the same when her daughter went..its not easy.. i know...chin up snowflake x
