I know I asked about this a few months back but having had a closer look at the box, unfortunately there is nothing that can be sold. The notepads have all had a couple of pages pulled out and the reams of paper are open - but not used and the envelopes are out of their packaging. I have tried to contact adopt a camp via email a few times but no response - does anyone know of any other charities or schools that would happily accept this? Could the reams of paper be cut into size A4? I'm happy to buy it from you. Could you send me a message with the price and description please! Thank you.

Hello, Anyone know of good interest rates in savings accounts? I like the ease of using enbd's saver accounts but the tier grids are very restrictive.

Purchased mine from Al Maya in JBR before they closed down. I'm sure the other Al Maya carry it. I didn't think to check there. Thank you!!!

Can anyone recommend a good car workshop for Lexus oil change and regular monthly services? I no longer want to go to the dealers service center.

Has anyone used the car service company called Diamond Shine or Dynamic23 for 3M car tinting? I want to buy this deal on dealgobbler.com for AED 599 but am always wary of discounted prices. We have to get 4 cars in the office tinted and I was wondering if this would be a good deal. Any reviews please? Thanks so much. <em>edited by karendsa on 27/08/2013</em>

I have been looking for regular american white cheese that melts so I can cook up a quick queso blanco dip when I need to. Where can I find this? Is there any brand that I need to ask for?

How long does processing take at VFS Germany? I applied on Wednesday and haven't heard back yet. The status online shows "Your application is under process at Consulate General of Germany,Dubai"

The wait time on the visa is a nightmare! 2.5 months for the INTERVIEW?????????? We are having to cancel our French holiday - I never for a moment thought it would take so long :( Should have done it earlier - yeah yeah, but one of our party didn't have his holiday dates :( It is a nightmare. Try the premium processing service instead of cancelling your holiday. I noticed regular swiss appointments were available in July for an appointment fee of AED 50. For premium german appts you pay AED 150 more if I'm not mistaken.

I just noticed the VFS German application form states "Two biometric identical passport size photographs (3.5cm x 4.5 cm), no older than 3 months, [b'>bright[/b'> background, one attached to application form and one loose" Will the visa center be fussy about the requirement? My photos are on a white background! Should i just go get a new set done?

Schengen visa's take a minimum of 21 days to be processed. no exception. Some countries even take longer it all depends where you apply and what your nationality is. This is because your application has to go through and be cleared by all Schengen state immigration authorities. Yes, it is a pain but in the end you can travel at will in any of the member countries. And yes, you need to get an appointment and right now the earliest is in AUG. The have a special service, you pay 275 AED but not sure for what because they cant go any faster..... That is *not* true at all. We got a schegen visa through sweden in less than a week. That is great news! Did you have to show a print out of airline tickets & hotel reservations?

Hi, I am hoping anybody will know if it is possible to pay extra to expedite the processing of a Schengen visa? I know for a UK tourist visa you can pay AED 800 more and get it done within 48 hours, is there anything similar for Schengen? I havent been able to find any info on the VFS site. Thanks! I just checked the website for VFS german embassy. No appointments available at all!!! Which embassy are you applying through?

Thank you! I will find out more about alexandrite lasers. I have finished 3 sessions underarm diode laser treatment at another medical center. The therapists were great, but it was not a comfortable experience. Even with 2 thick coats of emla, I could still feel the laser beam prick like fire each time. That special cooling gel they apply before treatment was truly a lifesaver! <em>edited by karendsa on 07/09/2012</em>

Also curious to know, did it pain (like needles) even with application of numbing cream like Emla?
