I've just told my parents, a family friend and my sister that I'm changing my name... and it actually went as I pretty much expected it would, not that I didn't worry myself inside out over bad reactions though.
So on tuesday I will offically be James Dorian England *thumbs up*

also I'm hoping my GIC referall goes through soon, I haven#t heard anything about it, so I'm going to ring my GP soon to make sure that they have actually referred me.
