    Michelle, that bought a tear to my eyes! So lovely of your dad to spend the time / money on his girls instead of with your mom. It's good to have some proper quality time together xx

    Welcome back everyone xx

    Cubs last night was brilliant! We made mini hover crafts and then raced them. Was so much fun! :)
    Back to work today with a bump. Wasn't up on time at all so was a bit rushed. On my own today though so just having some porridge before I get started.

    Hi Flossie - welcome back.

    I would recommend Wimbledon for those ladies talking about it. I went last Wednesday, unfortunately the day that got lots of rain and we were Court 1 so didn't see as much Tennis as we would like (so much so they gave a full refund, as part of their policy) but we had a brilliant day all the same and will defo go in the ballot again next year.

    So happy that you're now excited for your wedding MrsW2b - it's been a long time coming xx

    Just trying to get my driving licence sorted with updated name... does anyone know if I still have to send my paper counterpart to them as well even though they're not used anymore? The leaflet/form I have still makes reference to the paper counterpart, I suspect it's out of date... might just send it anyway just in case!!!

    Flossie, when I updated my address online I just had to send back my photocard. Would suspect an out of date form..

    Just had a quick look on g0v website and looks like can only be via form. but says to:
    Send your completed form to DVLA with:
    -your photocard or paper driving licence
    -any original documents that confirm your new name or gender


    Have put the link on your wall Flossie x

    Haha.. maybe HMRC? I've just done that online and that was quite simple.

    Thanks Emily I've already filled in the form and everything. I'm guessing just the photocard licence would be fine to send off but I'm including the paper counterpart just in case although I'm sure they don't need it and won't update it anyway.

    Flossie, I had to complete and send the form back and I sent my counterpart too but when I got my new licence back, I only got the photocard back so assume the counterpart was kept as no longer needed.

    Morning all, slept like a log last night. Reached a horrible part of my book so got OH to read it to me so I could get past it. If not I would be crying so much I couldn't read it. It was the part where Bambi's mom dies
    I love it when people read to me, find it so relaxing. OH doesn't like it so much!

    Feeling really productive today so will hopefully get a lot done!

    Wow that's fab Emm! £59.90 a month was cheap anyway for $ky... just over £30 is even better! I need to speak to $ky to change my name as you can't do it online - I've been trying to speak to an advisor on live chat for months now to talk about reducing our bill and it never ever works, says they are always "busy", hmmmm...... Will have to phone them and chat to them anyway.

    It's definitely worth doing. Over the last 2 years and couple of months we've actually built up over £900 in credit in our account, we pay monthly set amount by direct debit and it's just built up, I've always liked a little extra in there because of winter, I really jack up the heating in winter. Just had an email saying they're going to refund us £700 as they say to keep 2 months direct debit payment in there for covering higher bills in winter but shouldn't keep more than that in there. Think it's also because they actually pay us 3% interest on any credit balances so it costs them less to refund it. I have kept the money in there not just because I like a winter buffer but I get less than 3% interest if I keep the money in the bank.
