Going on holiday a week Friday. Lost my Passport.
I have the choice of either going to Newport, Peterborough or Liverpool to collect a replacement. All of which are about 2 hours away. How I wish I still lived in London permentantly.
The annoying thing is, it's somewhere in my house at home, but due to building work nothing is in the right place

Then a 4 hour wait for the thing to be printed 
I'm having thoughts that the last time I had it was up here in Brum... But then it would still be here. I am angry, I have let myself down

Getting back into the country shouldn't be a problem, just put on a foreign accent

Have a day looking throughout your house seeing if you can find it. If not at the weekend go to the nearest passport office and be prepared to wait.. 
Is the passport lost in your house got the 6 months remainding on it?

It's got about 5 years left on it, and it has loads of cool stamps in it too. Damn, looks like I will have to go traveling again 
I have my appointment at 3.30 tomorrow to get a new one, which will arrive within 7 days. I now need to find somone who I have known for 2 years, which is difficult because I have only lived in Brum for 6 months.
