Finally, after waiting for 2 months or so, I finally received my identity card today! Got my documents yesterday and my card was delivered today.. woohooo.... another hurdle over...

Next hurdle: renewing my passport using my married name, report of marriage, then changing my identity card again under my married name.. whew!

I know someone will comment again about change of name and that there is no need to use husband's name... but then, I want to use my married name as most married Filipinas would want.. heck, I know that we (Filipinas) spent a lot of time using our crush' name (in secret of course) and listening if their surnames sound better with our names... oh well.. those were the days...

Anyway, would have to do that within the next 3 months else there is a £1000 penalty or have my permission to stay limited or curtailed ... that's what the leaflet said.. so better do it than be sorry...

For those waiting for their FLRs.. or ILRs.. or Citizenship... godspeed... it will come soon...
