I need to renew my passport before travelling on Boxing Day.
Do you think if I send off for it on 29th October this will be sufficient time? That gives them 8 weeks to turn it around.LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

That should be enough time, it's usually quieter this time of year I think. Can you send it off now? I think if you renew early they add the time to your new passport.0

It's just that if I wait till end of October I can pay for it out of that months wages.
I doesn't expire till February, but I think you need 6 months remaining on it to travel.LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

Woohoo! That's great. Get those passport photos taken now.
I agree I think the time remaining to travel depends where you are travelling to but my latest motto is 'do it now'. I always regret it when I don't!
I hope you're not still shaking. I did think very rude and unnecessary but thought if I reacted it might get worse.0 -
I have calmed down a little bit lol!
Do you think it was one of those nasty trolls that go round trying to pick a fight? I know your not supposed to rise to the bait, but I just thought it was so rude and uncalled for. Do they have nothing better to do for goodness sake!LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

Well I had a look at some of their other posts and they didn't seem quite so provocative. Obviously just have an issue with Japanese and a Hawaii hater. I guess the Japanese don't go to S E Asia! I wonder how MSE judges if a post is offensive or racist?0
