    My birth certificate got lost somewhere in the house a year or so ago and after many unsuccessful attempts to find it, I’d decided today was going to be the day I’d apply for a new one. Checked the Justice services joint in Broady was open and off I went on the bus and train. Sign on the door apologising for inconvenience but they are no longer processing BD&M requests, scan the QR code for a list of other locations and go there. Ok, so I did and Reservoir was the closest, so off I went on the bus and train. Get to Reservoir and the same sign is on their front door!

    Ended up getting photocopied notarised documents and submitted online, which I didn’t want to do because I hate sending personal ID documents online, would much rather do in person. I just don’t feel safe. The website is an utter shitshow, wouldn’t accept my postal address, I’ve seen window cleaning junkies work more effectively.

    So I got home and baked brownies with the kids, and they are fudgy and delicious (the brownies not the kids)

      Sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced today.

      It must have been frustrating as hell to deal with.

      Those brownies look so nice. I could really use a batch of them warm right now after the shitty day I’ve had and fall into a blissful food coma.
