Hi Abba
Finally gotten round to checking out your diary.
Sounds like you are super organised.
I can totally understand you wanting to change your sons last name but it's a scary thought that the lawyers would have to track the Ex down. Sounds like a potential can of worms to me.
Think if was in your shoes I would definitly just change his name at school and wait until he is old enough to change it himself without any permissions. Only you know how your Ex might respond, if he is likely to refuse then it's pointless but might drag him back into your life again
Thats my opinions for what its worth

It's 16 here in Scotland so he would have 3.5 years before he could do it himself xx
Hi just posting because I changed my name when I was 14. Although the law may be different in wales? I did a statutory declaration of name change which my mother signed with a solicitor also signing we did not need my fathers permission. Although this may be due to laws in Scotland?0 -
Well done on the payments towards the Argos card, you'll have it cracked in no time.
r.e. name change, I changed my surname to my step-dad's when I was about 15 or 16 I'm sure my biological father had no say and he would be the type to be a right PITA about such things.

I changed his name via the justice of the peace but the school and council said they wouldn't accept it :mad:NEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.050 -
Glad the appointment went well and you qualify for legal aid. I can't believe the school and council are being so ridiculous if it was done through the justice of peace!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Evening :hello:
This cold wants to do one I've had enough
Still the show must go on :rotfl:
Did the monthly food shop spent £110 in farmfoods but I hate a £10 voucher :T spent £54 in b&m on tins and other little bits we needed then £21 in lidl on fresh fruit and veg so in total my monthly shop to £175 :T
Sent £6.59 towards the argos :T hoping it'll be cleared by Monday
Hoping for a quiet weekend to get rid of this cold and get ready for going back to work and need to think about organising my avon run to make extra pennies xxNEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.050 -
