  • It's quite easy to renew the adult passports now SA. It can all be done online, you can take your own photo and upload it, you get texts and emails throughout the process telling you which part your application is up to, and it only took 5-7 days from start to finish with the new passports in our hand. Really impressed.

    Children's passports all have to be done the old fashioned way, with someone verifying the photos etc. Xx

    Ah wishing I had a trampoline (yes I'm an adult...with no garden...still wishing):D
    :A
    No, my username is not a typo :tongue:
  • Ms.Dita I'm just wishing I wasn't too fat to go on it :rotfl:.

    Mummy, the problem with the trampoline is that it's in our front garden, as that one is twice the size of our back garden. Tramp stamp or what?! :eek::rotfl:.

    So a few things to catch up with.

    Gained 3.5lbs last night:(. Turns out not eating for a couple of days does NOT mean that you can then eat whatever you want for the next two days without gaining weight :p. I'm really annoyed with myself actually and back on it with gusto.

    I've won a family ticket to a fun day at Newcastle Race Course on Good Friday :T. Should have been £40. It's due to rain but at least we'll be getting soaked for free :D.

    Been to the park this afternoon which was lovely and only cost £4 for ice creams for the boys. Did some food shopping but used a £5 off £30 spend voucher. Also bought wonderful neighbour a gift voucher for her 80th birthday tomorrow :A.

  • We've been lucky so far in that only one other boy has wanted to be on the trampoline with my 2. I'm expected to be over run with kids all summer though!!

    Won £25 on lottery last night. Added to Florida pot.

  • NSD today :T.

    Took the dog for a long walk around the nature reserve. He found the boggiest pit ever to play in and ended up black and stinking - even after a swim in the lake! He then obviously needed a bath and then the whole bathroom needed a deep clean too :eek:. The worst part though, was while I was drying him, he jumped excitedly at the hairdryer and managed to launch himself and the hairdryer in to the full length mirrored sliding wardrobe door. Which cracked all the way down :eek::mad::(. What was it Robin said about needing a slush fund for puppy breakages?!?!

    :( 7 years bad luck for the mirror :( Hopefully not. Just keep saying the positives of being a dog owner outweigh the negatives and repeat ....
