You don't know what the concern is, it might be something you have left in the car or something!? or something that can be sorted with a 5 min conversation. speak to him first, if it's anything that you are worried about get DH to call him.

we don't hve a/c in the back of my car and it is TORTURE in the summer. I love, love, love my car but am probably going to sell it just for this reason :( Def get one with good a/c. If you haven't lived through a Dubai summer yet you won't understand how important it is, but it is!!

Good job. :-P I think because the heat is low it doesn't burn off. Brandy and sherry keep it going ;) It is very potent.

I usually add water as if you have it simmering for a while it reduces v quickly. hic.

DB, I put nutmeg, cloves, ginger (powder), cinnamon, orange & cloves. I also put brandy, sherry etc too. hic. :-P mulled wine is supposed to heat slowly so thinking this could work, but may add less water then usual!

How is it creating water? slow cookers create liquid because they heat and steam and then retain the moisture!

well this is what i am pondering. also is there any need to add water if it is creating more water. it is possibly not a good thing to experiment with.

My parents lived in Ajman in the 70's and loved it. They frequently had no a/c. Everything including meat was bought at the local souk. They created their own playgroup for children and their own entertainment. my dad tells stories of fishermen bringing up their boats in the evening and shaaring their fish with the few expats around then, and them all sitting round a bbq. their pictures from those days are full of happy, smiling faces! :) sometimes in the summer when i grumble because it's hot i remember that i have the choice of a hundred play areas, pools, cinemas etc and wonder how parents coped then with small children! ETA - lovely video, thanks so much for posting! <em>edited by Tattie Bogle on 03/12/2012</em>

- get title deeds of your property from LL - take title deeds, ORIGINAL tenancy contract, pp/visa copies of whoever TC name is, either dewa connection receipt or a dewa bill - go to an Ejari counter (there is one in municipality building on SZR) - get tenancy contract atttested with Ejari stamp hth.

it is along Emaar Boulevard, i guess from one end to the other (Dubai Mall to Burj K)? - so I don't think you would see it from the cafes at Dubai Mall, but there are loads of Cafes along Emaar Boulevard in Downtown that you could sit at! EXCITING!!!!!!
