It's recently come to my attention that I cant rely on mine for ANYTHING. >.< I'm in America right now (originally from Australia) and to get back home, I need my Birth Certificate as proof of residency to be allowed back in because all I have is a UK passport (I have dual citizenship). So basically I have no documentation saying I live there.
So when I first found this out - on my flight over here, I emailed my family the moment I was here and said "Please send me my Birth Certificate, you have 3 months to do it but please do it now incase something goes wrong and it gets lost in the mail" So.. 3 weeks before I LEAVE my sister finally gets her act together and posts it. BUT she gets the damn address wrong, god knows how >.< and misses out half the street number AND the apartment number.
So USPS sends it BACK to her, and I leave in 2 weeks and have no Birth Certificate lol so unless my useless excuse for a family (oh, I called my mother when I found out and she says "I'll see what I can do" and hangs up) get their act together, I may aswell kiss my country that I call home goodbye.
Wish me luck! I was also wondering if anyone has a family they have alot of problems with.. I'm half wondering if I should just not speak to them when I get back.
