I'm not a terrorist, I just wanna go see my family for Christmas!

Hmmm it's December so tis the month of Christmas! YAY!

I'm excited about Christmas, well I'm trying to stay as excited about it as I have been. I have been having problems with my passport, the application has been in for nearly a month now and I only found out today, well yesterday, my brain has shut down from lack of sleep, that my pictures are un-scanable and they have a problem with my address! Now I may be viewing this a little bit simplistically but if I had 3 pieces of contact information for someone, these been home address, email address and mobile number, and I was unsure if one of these was correct, the home address, then I would try and make contact through the email or mobile, but no they sent me a letter! How f**king clever?

Anyway the address they had for me was right so I don't know where my letter is! But even so I have my mobile switched on 90% of the time (and an answer machine as well) & I check my emails quite regular as well, I wouldn't think to send it through the method I was unsure about!

But that's by-the-by, I have new passport photo's done, and I'm them I am wearing bronzer, they said I was too pale, I mean that's nice to be told, that I'm too pale to go on my own passport! I also took my glasses off as they said they couldn't see my eyes properly as they were too thick (now I'm too blind for my own passport!) And the last problem with my passport photo is.... (and this 1 is the oddest) they can't see my ears!! Why, why, why??? I really can't see them asking me at passport control if they can see my ears!

Still as soon as town opens in a few hours I'm going to get another set of pics done (so if 1 set is wrong the other may be OK) and then send them to Peterborough and them cross my fingers and pray (and ring them everyday to find out whats going on!) I'm hoping to get all this done before about 10am so I can go to bed! I am so pumped on adrenaline about getting all this sorted I can't sleep, and I am very tired, I nearly fell asleep in Tesco about 9pm. I was sitting on the seats by the till waiting for my mum to finish and I was resting my head on the trolley and could feel myself drifting off but then some woman started yelling at her kid nearby!

I know I have really gone on about this passport but I love Christmas and for a good few years now I've been needing and refusing IV's till after NY although last year I started on 29th Dec so this year I was really looking forward to having a really good xmas than CF didn't put a damper on, it's the first xmas in years my Dad hasn't been working and it's Marcus' first xmas! So you can see why I'm so desperate to get it sorted.


OMG I'm watching Big Cook, Little Cook! I'm such a geek! LOL!

  1. Well that sucks, I get the ears and glasses thing, they are legal requirements because of Facial recognition technology used in airports, but the too Pale thing is bloody odd !

    Glasses off, hair behind ears and try again :-D

    Good luck !
