    A weird feeling this morning. The post arrived, and in it was a letter from the DVLA. Yep, it's car tax time again. Oh my, I'm moving house in a couple of weeks, the removal men are going to cost me nearly £300 altogether, and now I have to find the car tax :eek: :eek:

    So I open my spreadsheet only to find that not only have I budgetted for the removal men (plus a little extra), the car tax has already been put onto the spreadsheet and allocated for. :eek: I mean, I try to be organised but that actually quite freaked me out! :o So onto the DVLA website I go, and my tax is bought and paid for, and the reminder letter goes into the files in my new filing cabinet (£15 from Asda :cool: )

    Yeah, but if I pushed mine up I wouldn't be able to see my feet, and suffocation is a big risk :eek:
