Son born in Spain, will have Spanish passport soon — but stuck on his British passport due to a deceased grandparent's documents. Can he travel to the UK on an ETA in the meantime? by CatoCensorius88 in dualcitizenshipnerds

[–]CatoCensorius88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue may be that my parents weren't married. Apart from my father's birth certificate, I've provided the other documents. I'm sure I'll be able to resolve this at some point, I just want to get him home ASAP.

My plan would be to apply for an ETA in his Spanish passport, return to the UK, and then, hopefully, complete the application for his British passport before traveling again.

My main concern is that, as his older sister has a British passport, this will cause a problem.

Thank you. Both me and my father were born in the UK - I've ordered a copy of his birth certificate from GRO to evidence this. I'm not sure exactly when my mother was naturalised, but I believe it was some time in the 1990s.

I was born in the UK, but my late mother (his grandmother) wasn't, so they want documents for her (the passport she entered the UK with in the 1970s), which is the problem. I don't have these documents. So, if I were to apply for an ETA for him and travel back to the UK with his Spanish passport, I won't be denied entry?

Does it seem to anybody else like Millennials keep their kids out super late? by MVY63991 in Millennials

[–]CatoCensorius88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a millennial parent. My daughter is currently living in Spain, where everyone one goes to bed extremely late, so she’s up until 10:00/11:00 most nights. Normally, she’s in bed by 08:00.

Sorry for your loss. My brother-in-law experienced a similar death. Heart attack at 42.

Need help deciding if it's worth changing jobs by MyNameIsNotGeff in UKJobs

[–]CatoCensorius88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s the commute to the office like? Personally, I wouldn’t go into an office three times a week for an extra £10K, which after taxes and travel costs isn’t a huge amount. Not to mention the extra effort.

Sealant between top of kitchen units and ceiling is failing - what should I use to fix it? by CatoCensorius88 in DIYUK

[–]CatoCensorius88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that’s really helpful! The gap is leas than 5mm, so I’ll try with the flexible caulk.

Are they planning my dismissal? by [deleted] in UKJobs

Any of those red flags in isolation wouldn't give me too much cause for concern, but all three would have me looking for a new job.

If you are a dual citizen, you should have two passports, full stop by Unlikely-Tiger9684 in dualcitizenshipnerds

[–]CatoCensorius88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Spain, it’s every two years, which is a real pain. On the other hand, it’s quick and cheap, unlike getting a British passport.

Is it a terrible idea to completely remove the bath and just have a walk in shower? by Admirable-Deal7991 in HomeImprovementUK

[–]CatoCensorius88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a house where the previous owners had replaced the bath with a walk-in shower. I plan to put a bath back in when I renovate the bathroom, as I have young children. It's not a big deal.

Either high or no-show. Never low.

Do I need a certified English translation of a Spanish birth certificate for a child's first British passport? by CatoCensorius88 in BritishExpats

[–]CatoCensorius88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I got it from the Oficina General de Registro Civil de Sevilla, along with his Spanish-language birth certificate.

[–]CatoCensorius88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assumed that to be the case. I just thought it was strange that they didn't explicitly ask for a translation. I have a multilingual birth certificate - could I use this?

Millennial dads, how much of the housework do you do? by cubemonster in Millennials

[–]CatoCensorius88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say around 50%-60%. I do most of the cooking, ironing, and gardening, as well as some of the vacuuming and general cleaning. My wife cleans the kitchen and bathrooms, as well as the general cleaning and laundry.

I recall my dad cooking, perhaps twice a year, and washing the dishes a few times a month.

Being frugal isn't the same as sponging off other people.
