hi DG we did .
DH took DSs original birth certificate (in my name), plus our marriage certificate, filled out a form RR1 and paid the new few to have our wedding date added and DHs surname on the certificate. It cost us £8.50 (plus £20 in diesel for the journey to Hawick and back!)
It feels very odd now that we are all of the same surname. DS very confused as he has been called J.... since he was three so can't really remember being called by my maiden surname.
There are different forms for different circumstances, so give West Register House a call. We did that this morning and they were very helpful, as were the little ladies in the registry offices in Jedburgh and Hawick. I don't think they've had so much excitement in one day...mad people phoning them up crying I need to do this and I need to do it today waaaaahhhh
Do you homeschool then? I don't think it will offend anyone at all
I just don't have the patience to do it tbh or I would, as given some of the letters etc we get home, we are a damn sight more literate, grammatically aware than his teachers. But, the little beggar doesn't listen to a word I say, so he would end up knowing nothing and I would have dropped dead from exhaustion and stress.
Get rid of the little buggers through the day, that's what I say
Gah, late and i have to drive to Boston tomorrow! We are off to spend the weekend at DHs weekday abode. We are going to Cromer on Saturday to fish for crabs off the pier
monday we go to the passport office in Peterborough. Wish me luck.....and keep your eye on the news for reports of deranged Scottish woman assaulting passport office worker. I'll make sure I get a few kicks in for TA while I'm at it
