i have to renew my philippine passport for the time being, apply for my 2 kids' british passport, sorting out the return tickets arrrgh! of course not to forget pocket money.... too much thinking and i'm worrying a lot now.
Again, congratulations to Myrna!, Venus.
... the examination fee is currently £34 ... "a mere drop in the ocean" compared to the cost of either of the settlement visas. Myrna won't actually be applying for ILR until early next year, but was advised by a friend of hers to get the 'Life in the UK Test' over and done with - and out of the way - well in advance. One thing less to think about, as it were!
Anyway ... I understand you've other, more-pressing matters on your hands with your holiday preparations, arranging your childrens' passports &c. But please feel free to contact me on your return - for guidelines on what the Test entails.
For the moment, try to relax. And have a lovely break back home in the Phils when the time comes.
