Can anyone help me out with some information about passports?

DD2's passport was queried at Calais this morning. The picture was taken 4 years ago, when she was 4 stone heavier.

Is it possible to update a picture on a passport? Or will she need to invest in a new one?

New one sadly.. You don't have to wait for it to expire but it costs the same as a renewal

Thanks Pigpen. New one it is then.

Pigpen posting = all's well with the world. Good.

Huge congratulations embb! Very exciting.

How lovely for you CY and whoever the secret santa is, what a lovely thought.

I'm really struggling to keep up with Fred at the moment, in fact I just can't, but stuff is leaving the house which feels great. I now have 15 empty boxes in the attic, an unheard of amount to go in one blitz. I think I've turned a corner in terms of getting to grips with the muddle of a lifetime but there's still a very long way to go. Two generations in two families of gibble. Not good. Very grateful to the local hospice shops and the scrap store for taking stuff and making something of it. And the recyling chaps. I'm getting to know a lot of people quite well. I've also managed to sort out several annoying muddles, chomped some very aged frogs *rivet rivet* and the In Tray is now only an inch high. I don't think I could have done any of it without the collected and shared wisdom of Flyladies.

I have gone into full holiday mode

full holiday mode = SDOMFADSA

(sitting down doing not a lot - roughly!)

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP NOW

so is anyone up for a HHC at 11?

Because I NEED to clean the kitchen

Valli

I ought to sneakily delete that - it all went terribly wrong.

However I have washed some pots and put one of DS's bar aprons in to soak and pegged out some washing. And I took DS to work; hence the failure.

I shall have another go...

Morning, oops afternoon, that is an indication of how my day is going!
Now have three hours until friends come round and all I've done is sit on my bum.
So three hours to:

Clear kitchen surfaces
DW on
WM on and pegged out
Mow lawn
Sweep patio and path
Wipe over outdoor furniture
Quick tidy all through
Quick dust all through
Henry everywhere
Mop
Clean bathroom
Cook meal for eight.


Arggggh.

Back from my hols so trying to catch up
Hope all are well
Happy birthdays, an is congrats and commiserations to anyone I've missed
Welcome back pigpen
Glad the bike is back bossy I did read that bit
Honeybear, I'm grateful if there are teatowels in a holiday house I don't care if they are ironed.
Met the lovely kazwookie while I was away, as she was in the same place as me for a while, lovely to met you Kaz, sorry it wasnt for a bit longer.
Had a lovely time, saw a cow give birth (right place at right time, we were just walking passed as she decided the time was right, it was magical watching her lick life into her little calf and get it on its feet totally unattended), went to a flogging Molly concert! Wasn't sure we'd enjoy it but it was brill, ds1 treated us all as a holiday experience. Perfect weather all week and as I said got to met Kaz, so all in all a lovely week.
Catching up on the washing and back adding the thread now.

Hi all

Had to be up early to take DS2 to footie 20 miles away so thats taken up most of my day. Stopped for some food shopping while I was out, have put spag bol in the sc (not sure when DS1 and OH will be home) and I am now officially having a little Sunday rest.

The dog needs a walk and there are a few things to tidy but it can wait.

Glad you had a good holiday Mrs Mp and HB like you I am putting a lot of effort into just getting rid of stuff of the moment. I am starting to realise how much easier my life is going to be when its done.
