    Between this and the snap mouse traps, I think I might be responsible for more than a few of your lost pounds!

    Good morning! Lovely sunny day up here, the telly and radio people have finally got over the 'who will be the first Team GB Gold medal' droning and this is a very thinly veiled attempt to bump your thread on to the next page cos I feel like I killed the conversation yesterday!

    Plans for today?





    :D

    Hello.. You haven't killed it. I was crazy busy with work yesterday.

    Nothing happened that was especially mse except a NSD.

    I am stressed out because I have to buy flights for this upcoming holiday. Not only are they expensive, but I sent my native country passport away to the home office with my request for a British passport on 17 July. They are supposed to return your native country passport within 4 days. I still don't have it. I have called them 3 times and every time they tell me they will call me back on 24-48 hours. No one ever calls me back.

    The trip is 24 August. If I wait another day to book tickets they will be more expensive. If I book them and I don't get my passport, OH and my mum will be going on vacation together!

    Help

    What a nightmare!

    My mum and my OH are rarely in the same room together. I can't imagine them going on holiday! :rotfl:

    Hope your passport turns up soon. Maybe an afternoon mail delivery? Ours doesn't come in till around 2pm normally.

    I just assumed you were quiet because you were reading about Mike's Mob :D See my note on my diary about that. I've had to post a spoiler alert.
