  • Mornin everyone, I dont post a lot and when I do its usually to ask for something and Im afraid today is no different:o Ive applied for a creditbuilder prepaid cashplus mastercard and I need to send ID that needs to be certified. They suggested the Police, post office, GP etc. I tried the police yesterday, I took my drving licence and card plus photocopies and asked them to certify that they were true copies and they told me they couldnt do it because they dont know me! Shame they cant apply the same attitude to parking offences, speeding etc they dont know us then eh lol. Anyway I'm gonna try the post office this morning and I cant use my GP because Im not registered where I live. Does anyone know of anyone else I can try. Sorry to be a pain. GF x

    I would imagine the type of people who can certify a passport application, which is usually any professional person who knows you personally. Do you have any friends that are teachers, lecturers, busness owners or maybe someone in authority at work?
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    If you know any lawyers or chartered accountants they can also certify it.

    Oy Maz!!!!! Professional perv lol. How is everyone this morning? I saw a big yellow thing in the sky this morning, but its gone now. What am I doing today, well not much really just lounging about.

    2 good mates of mine are going to funerals today, one mate (of 30 years) is saying goodbye to a policeman who died from cancer and is leaving 2 kids and a wife behind. My mate has done a video eulogy for them kind of Love Actually style and my other mate is a coffin bearer for a sailor who died of cancer and he was only 21. I hope the day goes ok for them all. Oh hum, reality pill there me thinks.

    Lou you make me laugh you cant do anything on Fri by the sounds of things.

    Maz, is you car going in today?
