    @Saver-upper I feel your pain! I had to renew my Oz passport too and getting the right size photos is such a pain. I made absolutely sure they were exactly the right dimensions and proudly presented them only to have them rejected because of my fringe! It wasn't actually that long but they felt it was "too long". I had to hastily get another set of pics done with my hair pulled to one side, which looks awful and still adorns my passport to this day :/ They're certainly hard to please :/

    Not one for me, bought some radiator paint and paint brushes plus some other DIY items, and tomorrow won't be one either because I am getting the windows cleaned, but hopefully back in the saddle the day after that. :)
