Hi SuessMyriam, I am driving Q5 too and when 1st time sign came up on the screen, I call the service centre immediatly and spoken to one of the service agent. He said you can go to petrol station and ask to top up the oil, but it has to be FULLY SYNTETIC OIL - MOBIL Brand is highly recommended - I make sure I made a note for next time. But dont top up more then 1 liter!!!! :). Me and DH added two liters last time....and after two weeks I end up going to the service centre to drain the oil cause it was overflow :)

TanAmbassador, I wonder what brand you use, if it's last for two years with heels and with reasonable price...I dont mind getting one :) Monkey Face, I have to say, Naturalizer, Hushpupies shoes model sometimes is not very good, although I agree with you they are more comfy then Aldo shoes.

Jayjay, it should be okay for 5 days, along long as you keep it in fridge, not outside cause it will dried up.

Yep Lulu Hypermarket will have it. Or if you wish to travel to karama, there's a shop Sunflower, they sell banana leaves and I think they received delivery every Wednesday, so if you go now then it will be fresh

louisedvs, will look for that book and do some reading soon :) sandfly, i dont think I have time to get personal trainner since I am working 5 days a week and prefer to spend time with the boys once I got home and during weekend. So my only excercise is an 30 - 45 mins walking daily. :) Beebers, thanks for the advise....i always push myself to loose more weight, trying to proof to my DH that I can do it!! I keep picturing my old body/shape few years back as a goal!!! :) elk1973, I dont drink coffee, only green tea in the morning, alcohol...hardly, and i am not a fan of chocolate, cakes or biscuits either:). One thing I cant resist is food from my home country....I never say no.. :)! Yoga will be hard work cause i heard it's a lot of streeeeeeeetching!!!! Goldeelocks, no time for exercise....especially when you going with 2 boys and no help!!!!!!

Make sure you arrive early ladies, because it's so popular they kind of stop people entering the lounge when it's get too busy! and there will be no place to sit :-)

For Ladies who has bought a property in Dubai, apart from mortgage, maintenance service (once a year i think) and service charge (or community service) is there any other fee you have to pay either monthly or yearly? We kind of thinking to buy a property in Dubai.

Hi JackyD, I did it once on Emirates flight, that time my DD was too big for bassinet, yes you can bring car seat inside the plane as long as it's compatible to their seat, also dont forget to bring the manual incase if they'r asking. One thing I should warn you is.....dont expect them to help you out.....cause they couldnt care less! :-) Bad experience that time...infact almost in tears!

It is expensive, but Mini Monster is even double....it's AED 80 per hour. Is it just a play area or with some games like the one in magic planet or fun city. BTW, there's an offer from Cobone for fun city, AED 19 for 2 hours play, and it's valid in 7 different fun city from Sunday to Wednesday and valid till end of April....an idea for two weeks school holiday:) <em>edited by TSI on 04/04/2012</em>

Hi, there are quite few deals you can find under livingsocial dubai, cobone, groupon deals, but make sure you check all term and condition. There is one offer from living social for Banyan Tree RAK, AED 1500 for 1 night double occupancy, half of their published rate. Never been there but heard lots of good comment about this hotel.

Vera, I agree with you. The fee is refundable as long as we can provide the original receipt. I just deposit the cheque to them and it will be deducted from school fee if we going ahead with the school.
