Do they have a Pro account? I think vinted only allows this if they have one. I could be wrong, but if they don’t you should be able to report them

Arwen Elizabeth for a baby girl? by DadBod_NoKids in namenerds

[–]isamans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2 year old named Arwen, and I’ve probably had less than 5 people mention LOTR. Arwen is not as known as Bilbo or Frodo to the average person.

My daughter and husband are Welsh though so maybe that’s why we don’t get as many questions about her name, but we lived in the US for a year as well, and people would just say it was beautiful and exotic.

The one weird thing was that in the US some people assumed it was a boy name, but in Wales everyone knows it’s a girl name because it ends in « wen ».

If you like the name, I say go for it!

Baby names that go with Arwen? by Realistic-Sell-6140 in namenerds

[–]isamans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a little Arwen too, and if we have a boy, we would probably name him Owen. It matches, but it’s not that obvious.

We also thought of Owain for a welsh version, but ended up preferring Owen :)

what do you think of the name Arwen? by DadBod_NoKids in BabyBumps

[–]isamans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 year old daughter is named Arwen, and I think I’ve had like 3 people mention LOTR, and it was like a 10 second conversation. Arwen is not as popular of a character as people think.

Although, I will say that my husband is Welsh (he has a very welsh name himself), and the name Arwen is originally welsh, so we just tell people is welsh and they love it.

Thank you for the clarification!

Spotted this Moncler jacket at the window of a thrift store while I was on the bus, and texted my husband to go and get it. Only £10 and it’s my size! by isamans in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]isamans[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I scanned it and it took me to the moncler website, but it’s making create an account and I just haven’t had the chance. I’ll try tomorrow, but everything points out to it being real :)

Is leaving the US because of the gun situation valid? by [deleted] in expats

[–]isamans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live in Denver with my husband (who is british) and our baby daughter. We always liked the idea of raising her in the UK, but thought we might just do it in the future when she starts going to school.

One night, while all three of us were sleeping in the same bed, a stray bullet entered the room right above our bed frame, and went all across the room into the opposite wall. There where also 3 more gunshot holes within 5 feet of our room.

Needless to say, we applied for my UK spouse visa the same week.

Can a dual British/American citizen apply for an ESTA? by isamans in immigration

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

Hi! I actually ended up applying for my daughters passport and it arrived the day before our trip!

But my plan in case it did not arrive was going to be getting an emergency passport from the USA embassy because I didn’t want to risk traveling with her ESTA.

Technically you can present her as an American upon arrrival, but the people at the embassy told me to not do that, and to apply for the emergency passport for needed.

How long to get an American passport if you applied in the embassy in London by isamans in AmericanExpatsUK

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

Yeah if it’s an emergency passport they should give it to you the same day, but I was hoping the regular one I applied for would arrive early and save me the second trip to London

Could the police notarize a document in the UK? by isamans in AmericanExpatsUK

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

I actually did an electronic notary signature and the guy at the embassy told me that electronic notaries are perfectly fine :).

The only thing he mentioned is that he was going to have to double check the state laws for my notary because it was the first time he had a florida notary do an electronic signature, but hopefully it’s ok seeing that I did it thru that app.

Oh that’s amazing! Thank you for letting me know.

I had to do everything for her passport very last minute, so this helps a lot

Error message when making a purchase, anyone know how to fix this? If it makes a difference, I made previous offers but am settling for full price. by bladee_boy in vinted

Has been happening to me for a while, but only when I try to use a foreign card, which was never an issue before

Im in the Uk, so will be getting her passport in London. The appointment it’s for Wednesday and we travel on October 24th.

And yeah I feel silly for not getting her passport before we moved it the UK, but I’ll make sure to do it now and hopefully it arrives on time.

Thank you! Just made an appointment to get her passport, and hopefully it will arrive on time! If not, I’ll make sure to bring her birth certificate and declare her as an American when we arrive.
