        Is this all part of your grand plan then? The house to yourself for a few days?

          Oh well, at least the sun is shining here and you have some peace and quiet to plan your next retail empire.

            Waiting for a copy of my birth certificate to arrive first, before trudging to London for a passport.

            Unbelievably easy to get a copy. No wonder there is so much identity fraud!

              Yeah, but the poor sod nicking your identity has to look like you.

                When I was a kid I grew up thinking that my birthday was 31st Oct as that is what I was told. It was only when I got to 20 that I found out that I was actually born the day before. By then I already had my driving license dated 31st. I then applied for my passport and needed my birth certificate. When this arrived my date of birth stated 13th Oct. I wrote a letter to whoever at the passport office informing them that my birth certificate contained a mistake and that I was actually born on 30th Oct. I was amazed to get back a passport dated 30th Oct. So at one point I had 3 official documents all relating to me and all with different birthdays.
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!

                      Didn’t need a birth certificate when my passport was lost in the post. I took an old outdated passport with me and the air tickets, that was all. I arrived at 10am, handed the form in. When to the shops, back at 2pm, collected passport.
