    @Tidemark, when I last did mine, I didn't need an appt, but had to go in within certain hrs as only one member of staff was trained to do it, and she worked part time.Honestly, it should be simpler. :doh: It is such a basic thing and there are millions of over 70s required to do regular updates.
