I am expecting quite a few Certs, thought I might as well go for broke. The first ones are due for despatch tomorrow, are they running on time now thanks .

How come you find time to order certs and do your tree?? I have forgotten what my tree is and haven't ordered a cert in a year since I started typing on here!! Merry

Merry I manage to because I dont have a lot to do indoors he does it !!! I only do Cooking and washing and Ironing , oops sorry didnt mean to say THOSE words.

Ah, but Merry, think of the money you are saving. Valerie - do you hire your OH out at all? Just a few hours a week would do. Perhaps I could pay you in gravestone rubbings. (Don't let Heather get wind of this or she will be after her percentage) Tina

valerie.... how on earth did you pull that one off! I do everything, the only thing OH helps with is laundry and an occasional sink of dishes. It took a 40 minute fight to get him to go food shopping with me the other day! Helen

Saving?? I have had to go on holiday twice, just to get away from the computer and have so-called Quality Time with my children (me bawling at them!)....lol! Merry

Mine are due for despatch today Val.........see what happens in the morning.......I'll be waiting for my nice postman!

Helen he retired early and believe it or not gets bored, so I kindly let him do all my favourite things like Polishing Washing Floors Shopping , things that I can trust him with.While I do the important things like being on here , hence why I disappear for a while sometimes , as he gets a bit lonely too.

Birth ordered 22 August. Despatch date 30 August. Delivered 31 August. YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! So the four I ordered (hoping to beat the WDYTYA rush and if I worked it out right the credit card cut off date) despatch date 1 September should be here tomorrow :)))))) Chris

Jean and Christine goody hope mine come soon then. Tina yes you can hire him he is quite happy with a can of coke and biscuits for payment. Merry I thought your holidays were Grave searching ones.

Chris thats great hope mine come quick there is one which will be my third attempt the last two were wrong.Maybe I had better get a pretty nightie out, instead of my tatty one I prefer to wear., dont want to frighten Postie

Christine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Val, Oh, OK, a little grave searching, but not ALL day! Merry

Anyway, any saved money went today..................When we got back from our last holiday on Wednesday there was a new foal (born on Wednesday) in the field next to our house. On Wed evening the foal came over to our horse-proof fence and came right through between the horizontal bars!! (the fence is only proofed for full sized horses! No one told us there was going to be a new arrival!) So, the mother and another horse got all agitated and we ended up with one very broken fence and the OK Corral in our back garden!!! It was quite scarey! So, donations please.....it cost us £300 almost! The horse owners say they will contribute, but I'm not holding my breath! Merry

Mine had despacth date Sep 4th - arrived today (France) CArole

Carole that was quick maybe I should move to France??? Merry thats a shame they should pay for the fence.

I recently ordered two certs, one was 2 days early :-) never been known before. The other was delivered on the day after estimated despatch date.

Well, they haven't paid the last three times this has happened! The first time there were horses galloping up the street!! Merry

Ang that was good too I wont sleep tonight much too excited hope they come tomorrow . Just had a thought Merry why dont you ask Heather for your cut of the tips money ???

I sent for 3 certs from the GRO on 25 August, with a despatch date of 4 September, and two of them arrived today (in Italy!).

Ooh, I've had that already....it's going towards my payment to Olde Crone so that I can be her relation and on her family tree! I think she is going to marry me off to that James Holden.......... Merry
