Newjez was it you asking about renewing a passport the other day? I can’t remember who posted but someone was wondering what to do about their expired Uk passport.  I just wanted to let them (you?) know that I got mine today ... posted old one on April 6th.

<p><p>Thank you. I wanted to do a blog about it because we have thought of house swapping many times (daughter has no room to accomodate us when we go over) and chickened out .... cleaning, insurance, worry, etc etc. The idea of a non-simultaneous swap is good because it allows for them to come over in our summer (ha ha) and us to go there in Oz summer. Also I felt better about leaving the house knowing I was only two hours away in case of emergency. You're still taking a chance, but we did make sure we took ALL our personal papers and ID stuff away, ditto computer and laptop and paid £12 to get the post stopped for two weeks while we were gone. Touch wood all was well (although we havent had the phone bill yet!</p></p>

<p><p>Thanks for the comment about my blog - it's nice to know there is someone actually reading it! Kath</p></p>

<p><p>Thank you! Hope you arent the Janet who has just spent two weeks in our house :-) although I was very complimentary!</p></p>
