Site I like, and other matters
06.04.04 (1:47 am)   [edit]
How nice to appear, however briefly, on the Old Grey Poet's blogroll.
In some ways I don't know why I enjoy the site so much because nothing much ever really happens - they move house, they go to Starbucks, they go to B & Q, legs ache and photos are taken. In most hands this would be a dull and self-centred affair, but it is written so well that it's always a pleasure. (Better than this rubbish anyhow! - ed.) It went "off-air" for a long time after being 'flamed' by some idiot or idiots, and it was with joy that I found it had returned.
If I were attempt something in a similar vein - I certainly have the family for it! - I know I'd never be able to sustain it.
Worry: I'm going to Capri on my honeymoon in 3 weeks and I'm still on the 'phone to people about the documents I need for my new passport, all because I stupidly allowed a name-change when I married the first time. Respect due to to Sheila at Redbridge Register Office for her fine efforts this week!

Heathers name on her passport is not the same as the one on her birth certificate but have had no problems needing paperwork for a passport. What problem you been having ? It wasn't a stupid name change it's your birth name and your daughters birth right, and thought of as a good idea at the time. x

"Stupidly" was the wrong word. Sorry. I just meant it had made life harder for me right now.
