Just filled in a renewal form for a child's passport.

Parents details , fair enough.

Names, date of birth , where born and married for grandparents !

Must be lots of people who haven't a clue about all that.
About grandparents: If your parents were born on or after 1 January 1983, you will also need to provide evidence of your grandparents’ claim to British nationality by providing their birth certificates and, in the case of grandfathers, their marriage certificates. This does not apply if: • your parents’ British nationality is based on registration, naturalisation or their immigration status, or • you have provided the number of your parents’ British passports in Section 4 of the application form.

[QUOTE 5207545, member: 21629"]The joy of being a woman with wide size 8 feet is an ability to buy mens trainers (and cycling shoes...). I needed black running ones (don't get too excited - they're for work). Local Sports Direct has about 10 pairs of women running trainers (only 2 were black) and probably 10x more of men ones, most of them black.[/QUOTE]

I'm the other way round and have size 4 plates of meat, so kiddies sizes do me ok for a lot of things. Means I can go for boys' footwear if I don't want overloads of pink and purple.

OK, I don't mind pink, but it has to be subtle, not in-your-face.

I have narrow size 6 which narrows my choices of footwear! Especially non-pink.

Can I confess to eating an ice cream lolly thing at this time of night?

Yep.

And I need to confess to scarfing 2/3 of a tube of rice cakes and a punnet of raspberries. :blush:

Hmm. Now I'm hungry and am going in search of snacks.....

Ok, so I'm confessing to recent consumption of :
Yummy hot buttered toasted piklets with raspberry jam.

Yep we had 3 of ours spread-eagled in front of the fire, didn't really need it on but hey-ho.
In other news the fire might have sent me to sleep on the settee as well, good job the 'Martini'* I'd poured earlier didn't all evaporate so I'm finishing it off now with a cup of Green Tea. :angel:

* for my 'Martini' recipe see my post in the 'Cocktail' thread. :cheers:

Which, incidentally, I think I had to read through about 7 bazillion times to work out whether or not I needed to provide grandparent information or not (I didn't) and some other stuff - it ain't the easiest of form to negotiate! I did the PO check and send thing, and was very glad I had as I had missed the requirement for my eldest to sign his own application.
