Bloody Belgian Bureaucracy!
Spent an hour and a half in the local town hall last night until 7.30 with two hungry and tired toddlers trying to get our identity cards. Then this silly woman behind the counter says we can't have them today (they are all made up waiting in our file) because the letter from my DH employers doesn't apparently show that he is employed for a year. It shows from the 30/09/07 to the 1/10/08 which I am pretty sure is a year.
She had already messed around for about 10 minutes trying to tell us we had recieved a form which we clearly hadn't and just generally being rather rude and sighing a lot. I had to restrain my DH who wanted to explode as now my dd can't start school yet. We now have to go there again for a fourth time late at night with two toddlers and yet more forms!!
Aghhh!!!!
