Surnames and Passport Control!

Yeah you backwards people still use cheques as well!!!

 

[babycrazy1706]

Cheques are ridiculous aren't they!! I hate them

They are not accepted in shops anymore though so we are moving forward a little

 

[Natsku]

They haven't been used in years here, its all netbanking and debit cards - I find myself using my card to buy a 20 cent lollipop

 

[babycrazy1706]

Do u not have cash?

I hardly ever use cash, I like using my card for everything too!

 

[Natsku]

Thats the thing, I always carry cash but I just can't be bothered to count out coins

 

[babycrazy1706]

Same here. Plus I know where my money has been spent when I use my card. Cash just disapears!!

 

[Natsku]

Yup. Although when I go to the pub I use cash cos then I can make sure I don't spend too much as I can only spend as much as I take with me (plus need cash for the poker)

 

[babycrazy1706]

Yeh good plan! Lol

I went away just the other week and was stopped coming back through with my girl and partner as we all have different names. They asked my baby who I was and stuff like that.
They told me next time to take her birth certificate but ontop of that I will also have to take my depol paperwork as am not yet divorced but changed my name back to my maiden name.... so much to think about xxx

That must have been quite horrible for you all. I guess with the whole 'stolen children' thing going on just now they're paying more attention. Makes it all a bit daunting for the next trip though.

Thankfully my baby has my surname for when we go to America for Christmas!! X
