    Soappie glad you got the return in on time, I would have appealed against any fine if the system had refused to play ball..

    I would have appealed too - but didn't want to go down that route if at all necessary. I sometimes think the very fact you phone HMRC up, the more likely you are to get investigated :eek:

    Dinner eaten. Most of the pots are in the DW. But not all :o

    I will do better tomorrow, I promise!
