How soon do you actually need the passports? Personally I would leave it as long as you possibly can before renewing as you now only get the renewal from the date the passport is issued and you will lose anything extra you have on it. For example, our passports ran out April this year but as we were going to Europe in November/December 22 we needed to renew them early November as our previous ones were dated November 12 and you need to have a passport which was issued no more than 10 years previously and we were caught out by this. Hope that makes sense.

@joedenise oh thank you, I didnt know that, well I don't need them until August, my passport expires in December so I think I'm okay to travel by 2 weeks but I'd hate for something unexpected to happen and get stuck out there so I was going to renew ahead of the holiday, I figured I'd do it in April so it has plenty of time to get back to me before the summer holiday passport renewal rush starts!November 2022 - £46,626.96 / May 2025 - £5,970.00

Morning everyone, another cold day!!! Not much to report for today, I have my shopping delivery arriving which is on budget this week at just under £55, we have my family over on Sunday so this includes food for that as well so I'm pretty happy about the spend! I've woken up with pink eye and the sniffles so I'm assuming I have a cold coming 🙄 anyway, my cheese was out of stock so need to pop out to grab some and post off the item of clothing I sold yesterday so today is on track for a NSD, and a no make up day!.

Great news on the Vinted sale! I really need to add some items but I just don't seem to have much spare time lately.

I only added 2 items to start with whilst I tried it out so I may try and add another item today, I imagine it might become quite addictive! I need to go through all my daughters clothes as well as I reckon she has loads that are too small for her now!xNovember 2022 - £46,626.96 / May 2025 - £5,970.00
