It took 80 days for the Home Office to process my application, which isn't too bad

All my foreign trips' exit & entry stamps over the last 8 years were clearly shown on my current passport. Now going to contact my local borough for a citizenship ceremony after Easter holidays. Good luck everyone & I wish you all a happy Easter!
