You know you are senile when............

They do that here in Oz too, Sue. My husband's latest photo looks as if he's been hit over the back of the head with a frozen salmon.

Off I goes to the local photo shop and gets a set of 4. GREAT I think. My Passport is due for renewal in a couple of years. I'll use the spares for that.

A couple of years later. Can I find them. Can I heck.

Based on my memory of going through a similar process a couple of years ago, I'm not sure the photos would have been accepted. I've a feeling they were supposed to be 6 months old or less - though I'm not sure how they could tell.

The rules are so strict these days (background colour, size of image, no glasses (even if you wear them all the time) etc etc) that it seemed easier to go to the Post Office (a branch with the relevant facilities, that is), where for a fee they'll take the photo to current standards, and check any supporting documents that are needed. That way, if the photo is wrong it's someone else's fault, and it also means you don't have to post your documents off anywhere, as you get them back straight away.

So maybe in the long run you did yourself a favour - and in xx years' time when your family are sorting out your effects, someone will find them and wonder who on earth it is.

The time to worry is if you do not.....

That's when I tell the other me they're a 'thickit' and don't know what they're on about .

Where I work everyone knows I talk to myself. When they say I wish you'd stop talking to yourself I simply reply stop eavesdropping on my conversations

[wendymac]

When I answer myself I then start arguing with myself ha ha - think I've completely lost the plot. I put my purse in the fridge the other week - I'm going to shut up now I'm starting to worry myself ha ha ha...

Well with all this snow we're having you'll have to be extra vigilant. You won't see the men in white coats till it's to late
