Dippy a new photocard driving licence does have to be replaced every 10 years but your entitlement to drive remains until your 70th birthday. Personally I think they are using the 10 year replacement ruling as a money making option. They will probably say that it's because peoples appearances change. The advantage of photocard licences is that they are more readily accepted when driving abroad.



I thought it was April before we heard but having just checked email I see that Miss A has been allocated a place at our chosen school :T

Email excerpt below.

Miss A has been allocated a place at ***** School.

If you are a ***shire resident and it has not been possible to offer your child a place at any of the chosen schools, the place allocated for your child will be at the normal area school (if places are still available) or the next nearest Authority school with places available. If no school is given above the authority has been unable to offer your child a place at any school.

Full details on the decisions relating to your application will be confirmed in a letter posted second class on 1st March 2011.

Glad to hear Miss A will be going to her chosen school! Fingers crossed for your offspring embb

Good morning all.
It's soooooo lovely to have another sunny, clear day here! Birds twittering about nesting and snowdrops. And I've got a precocious tomato seedling popping through already!
Got my spending diary.... however, have an almost uncontrollable urge to nip to butchers and spend on skirt steak after someone on here (can't remember who) mentioned making Cornish Pasties the other day..... Hmmmmm.

Off to find my listy....

Good luck to everyone waiting to find out about school places. I can't believe it's a year since I was waiting to hear if DD had got her place! Congratulations to Miss A getting her place!

I won't say this too loudly as I don't want to tempt fate but I actually feel human today!!!! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Thanks again for everyone's good wishes.

Today i've done the months banking within an inch of it's life. Everything allocated and a whole £27.67 that's not been accounted for yet :rotfl:. That's up £22 on last month so i'm guessing i've left something out!

I've also cleared the fridge and the larder out ready for a big tesco shop which should arrive soon - i now pay the extra rather than stay up until stoopid o'clock to save 50p!

I'm going to s/s the bathroom but very gently!

Can I ask for some advice off ebay experts. I sold an item on Sunday and the £90 payment was paid into my paypal account immediately. The item is very bulky and heavy so was pick up only which the advert said clearly, twice! I've sent two messages to the buyer to ask when he wants to pick it up and they've not contacted me. I've noticed their address is down south and i'm up North so hoping they don't expect me to post! Do I just send daily messages until they contact me? Thanks xx

Hugs to everyone especially tootles and LL. Hope the sun is shining for you all! xx

Morning ladies,

Very tired this morning, up with the baby quite a few times last night. He's having a sleep now so am just chilling out for a bit.

Nappies on the line by 8am so hope they will dry by sunset, might not do though as it's very cold. Ds1 driven to school, I'm such a kind mummy (he's nearly 13), breakfast eaten but that's about it. Need to meal plan and go shopping today and my mum is coming over in a bit. Might just be a level 1 day for me but we'll see

Happy flying!

Excellent We will be in good company then

Flying - I am inspecting the kitchen area, from a sitting position, to see what needs doing.......:rotfl:

I'm having to imagine mine...can't see it from here...6 minutes I will get off my butt!

Miss A congratulations on your school place, and May God bless you, and help you through a happy and successful academic career.

I haven't heard about DD2, but frankly I only put one choice and if she doesn't get that I will defer her entry for the year, she's only 4 in August.

Hi Mudders,
sometimes the buyers don't answer 'til after the weekend,(could be a buisiness),
OH and I trek 'up t'North' to collect stuff.
We've been known to go up the East coast to deliver and collect stuff, go across to Derby, then down the middle to collect more and come home...all in one day :eek:
Don't hassel them every day, they may give you a ring...it's a pain if your waiting to free up the space tho..;)
If your very worried PM me and I'll give you some tips.:cool:

Nothing in the charity shop, but I have a 40 per cent voucher for Peacocks so I am off there and will be back by 11.........will fly then xx
