Hi - had a letter at work last week from a lady who owes the firm money - she had asked to be let off her monthly payments for the Christmas period (which was agreed) but she sent a letter last week saying "thanks for letting me off for Xmas, I fully intend to recommence my monthly payments in 1907" True, I swear. Bless her cotton socks! Jacqui

I've found I keep putting my maiden name on forms again and I've been married ten years.

Not quite the same, but I find that despite many years of marriage, I keep signing my MAIDEN name on everything...not (thankfully) on credit card transactions (yet!), but have done it several times when signing for postal deliveries and once on a sponsorship form for a neighbours child! Dierdre X

I do it all the time Sue, filling in forms usually. Always keep a bottle of white-out by my side!! Di.

Am I the only one with this problem? Since I've been researching my tree I've got so used to putting 1700 and 1800 dates in various places that I've found myself putting them on letters and some email addresses and then wondering why the emails get returned to me. Think I've lost the plot,have you? Sue
