Fingers crossed!
Applied for 3 renewals online on 23rd April, posted old ones back on 26th April and had confirmation of delivery by Royal Mail on the 27th. Received emails yesterday and today to say they have been printed, so all being well, should get them next week. In total this is around 3 weeks from start to finish!
I know I haven't got them yet so probably shouldn't jinx it, and I am in no way being a smug git, but I just thought I would share a positive story as it all seems to be bad news about the buggers lately.
Have had a few squeaky bum moments after hearing about all the delays, but hopefully The Holiday shall now commence woohoo 🙌
