Benbenandme's Next Installment ...

well at least a 5 year one which then gets renewed for free because of them growing up and needing a new passport photo

How do I get it renewed for free?? He already has a 5 yr one but it runs out soon, thought I had to pay £49 for it to be renewed?

£37 tracked on quidco for booking the holiday through them already, woohoo, that will be going straight into the holiday fund once it pays out :j :j

Well done on booking the holiday, something to look forward to through the winter

As far as I know you have to pay to renew a child's passport - I certainly did!

I had to renew DS' this year from one 5 year to another 5 year, and def had to pay - am not aware of there being any way of getting them free.....they are just cheaper than an adult 10 year one.

There are rumours on a lot of mse threads that renewals are free but I had to pay to do my youngests earlier this year.
Yay to holiday - when are you going?

I did some googling of it too last night and it seems there are lots of rumours of freebie passports but none actually to be had anywhere Never mind, its within the £1k target so not a worry.

Dangers - we don't go til mid August next year (I wanted to see the Olympics before we went ), but I am sooo stupidly excited I'm going to cut up my old Next directory tonight and stick loads of pics of bikinis all over the fridge and biscuit cupboard :rotfl:

So, last night I made the mistake of drinking a large glass of Pepsi before bed, and at 3 this morning was still wide awake Now clearly though I am knackered Never mind, off to meet ds friend in a couple of hours then I can crach once he's gone to his dads later.

Yay, the lady has paid for her item from ebay now, so thats £20 of the mortgage pot money headed my way, off to update the sig

Goodbye November 2019 :j :j

We've had a lovely day at the park, ds met his old friend and they played together for 4.5hrs while his mum and I chatted, the sun was gorgeous and it was a really lovely day

I've just dropped him off to go to his dads and am now having some sofa time, my lack of sleep last night is catching up with me. I don't have much planned for while he's away, other than getting up to date with the flat and general chores ready to go back to school on monday. Oh, and trying to kickstart the holiday fund

benbenandme

And we're off The first £25 is into the holiday fund, it came from referring my friend to a bookies :j Thats half of ds passport covered
