Deserves another nudge.

Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

It could do with some minor changes now that board names have changed and the certificate price has increased to £9.25..

What a little gem!!
I have book marked this and will keep re reading i, wish I had found it earlier, I know it sounds straight forward but I wasted endless hours trying to find people etsc and this would have been such a help.
My Christmas money this year is going to buy the certs that I need.
My only thought about certs is, if we purchase the wrong one why can't we offer them for free to someone who may be looking for the person on them?
Hope that last sentence makes sense.

Very sound advice, and most helpful.
A small update: I did just buy some certificates onlline from the Registrar General, and "the cuts" have started to bite. They are £9.25 now, up from £7. Direct from the local registrar they cost only £9, but you have to ring up, ask nicely, write a letter [bang goes your 25p], and there can be quite a long turn round time. The odd times I have tried it the staff have been brilliantly helpful: they found the birth certificate of a great uncle of mine who was baptised and died "Faithful". Who could havea guessed his birth cert. would read "Richard".
Cheers everyone.

These are really good tips, if only they could be shown to people who are just starting and haven't yet been on these notcieboards. Most of this my mother and I found out the hard way, by making mistakes, and we also forgot to make a note of where we got some information from, which meant that when we looked back later we couldn't remember where we'd got it from. Thanks for taking the time to write this, hopefully it will save other new people from making the same mistakes we did.
