This maybe a silly question and very obvious but have you all checked your spam boxes?
It’s easy to forget in the rush of orders and with the hustle and bustle of Christmas.

Hi . no not at all silly! I have indeed checked, and I also check every couple of days my account at GRO, nothing to be found! I guess tho that now most people are back to work and hope to dee some movement on the records. I have no idea how many people work at the GRO....but its not enough!
I would also have expected to see a notice on the website about delays due to heavy increase in orders, but none the such.
I will continue to wait with extraordinary patience....before I explode!

PS Just good to hear that others are still waiting
