Yes, there are cadbury creme eggs! I sneakily bought a three pack at Spinney's.......not sneaky enough. My kids deduced 3 eggs, 3 kids = one each! Should have eaten them in the car.

Eggs everywhere Arnie except at Union Coop which has a huge amount of choc anyway!!

NEWS FLASH!! Union Coop does have some eggs-kinder surprise and similar. Choithrams has an eggsellent range too!

Wafi is a crash zone for me!

Again emphasis on telling the banks-10% tax or withholding tax at 40-66%!! (from memory-so check). The draw back to non-residency is the tax on income from a rental property but if you have bought well the increase in value justifies keeping it.

I wear bikinis and my dog gets more attention than I do. Why is that?

American School fees from memory are the highest-check their website. Housing-you'll be looking at AED120 000 up and then you have to look at two cars as public transport is not an option and in the heat with kids, catching a taxi can be hard. There is a thread back further on cost of living-check i...

Very funny guys!! My dog is just so well proportioned I guess!

Ah, laughing at someone elses misfortunes!! My kind of sense of humour. And my washcally darlingsh- if you heard me sing you'd wish you were deaf..................not a prob. for Arnie he just takes the batteries out of the hearing aid!

And I thought small annoying toys would be right up your alley!

They are on the Jumeriah Beach Road -Burj side, after the Jumeirah Beach Club but before the Burj. Massive signs on this huge yellow villa-can't miss it.

That would explain why the camel guy is jealous!

I'll have to resort to sign language!

Global Village.....memories. Take kids to party at Dubai Country Club-leave in daylight. Arrive in Carpark 5 at Global Village in dark...wait for husbands kind arrival to escort me home. Guess how many kids wanted to come with Mummy on the return journey? None!!

Hope you had a nice 21st b'day bash Shaf!!

Yep it's true to say that drivers don't consider bikes and never look out for them

Hmmmmmmmm...fact is drivers don't consider other drivers, pedestrians, road rules or anything here!!

Well not quite true. Most drivers are quite aware that killing the Sheikh's peacocks in his Zaabeel Palace, for example, is quite dangerous so they are careful there.

When I do donuts there in my car I make sure I do not hit a peacock.

Don't hit the male ones 'cos they are the prettiest.

Happy birthday Shaf! Enjoy ur first BD in Dubai!

What did you say Sniper........I forgot?

Your hearing may be failing but I think you may be able to read minds!!

My dog weighs more than I do I think he'd weigh more than that camel too! It looks anorexic. Is it your Wafaey, 'cos your not feeding it enough!

I take it Liban that someone's wife found a job. We'll ask in a few weeks what it is like to earn less than your spouse!

Yes, I can tell I have sliced your heart in two with that acidic remark.

I remember the consensus at the last meetup was to try to do something more participative this time round, like paintball, bowling, karting, etc. Dinner together is nice but considering the member base and transport needs - remembering not everyone has access to a vehicle, personally I think Abu Dh...

IV no one is saying to get huge boobs my friend has sagging ones that are about half their normal size as they were before child birth all she wants is to go back to what they were before.Agree with you that massive ones arent the best and maybe when you get older you too may feel that you need a b...

Don't mince words Liban-tell us how you really feel??

No. Worked this morning and doing the Jumeirah Jane bit this arvo- not botox, nor boob job just nails. May get a pedicure and may get threading-what we girls go through!! :cry: Done the Easter shopping-Carrefour had some nice Lindt rabbits. Bought lots of eggs-now just have to con the kids into givi...

This is not BS but true-I knew of it but it also appeared last week or so in Emirates Today, I think. It just makes me laugh in a sadistic kind of sinster way-you go for a latte and come home with a permanent smile on your face......what must their husband's think?

Liban you have been reading too many trashy novels........or 7 Days.

Yep- went to his Al Nasir salon-colourist used to work in Harrod's I think and all was great-pricey but great. Yes, I am afraid my hair colour is not my own!

Yes those old expat woman in their late 30's and 40's really are horrid...........................................................just taking the p#ss darling!!
