    Afternoon lovelies! :wave:

    It's so cooooooooooooold! I don't know what minus it is outside but feels like 20.....I've been in from work for an hour with the heating on and practically sitting on top of a halogen heater and I'm still frozen....can't wait for Spring.

    I've started filling in my SA tax form online - nightmare - I have such a simple job but they've made it difficult, I'm employed on a self-employed basis, I do NOT have a P60 or other employment paraphernalia, and I do NOT have a business name or accounts and all the paraphernalia that goes with that :mad: so I gave up....will ask OH to help me with it later cause I'm obviously not cut out to fill in tax returns alone. Duuuuuuuuuuurr!

    Need to do yesterdays list & todays but CBA....it's too cold in my kitchen even if I drag the heater in there it still feels like the North Pole.

    Teenie put the bin out before I went to work so that's been emptied, I made my bed and tidied up the living room but that's it.
