*runs in and does a little "we've just had a cheque for £543 for the tax credit refund thingy" dance.....and runs back out again*

Snaggles

Afternoon :wave:

Bit of a panic this morning, I suddenly thought 'I'm sure my car tax should be due around now, how odd that I haven't had a reminder'. So I went outside to check, and it ran out a month ago! :eek:


I rang DVLA and they told me they'd never received my registration document that told them I was the new owner (I know I sent it, because my Mum and Dad nagged me into doing it straight after I bought the car). So I'm not the registered owner, and I didn't get sent a reminder.

I just had to drive into Leeds (I have a major phobia of driving in Leeds city centre) to go to the DVLA office to tax it. £200 later, I am all sorted. _pale_

Now trying to decide if I can get my hair cut before my date on Friday....I can't really afford it, and I've no idea when I can fit it in, so I might have to just work the crazy wild big hair look. I'm trying to convince myself it doesn't look THAT bad! :cool:

Snaggles, can you check if your local college has a beauty salon where it trains young people? I got my hair washed, cut and blow dried for £3.50 at mine.

It's a refund from 02/03, you had to put in a claim before the end of January if you thought you were entitled to it

Couldn't have come at a better time what with moving next week :j

I should do really. The thing that worries me is that how my hair looks MASSIVELY influences how confident I feel about myself. If I have a bad hair day, I feel unbearably ugly and painfully shy, so I'm scared to venture away from the hairdresser that I trust. Weird I know. :rolleyes:

But fitting it in is the main problem this week - I'm off tomorrow and Friday but don't know anyone that could have Natasha, then working Wed/Thur.

I'll just dye the roots and straighten it, and pretend I'm just trying to be a bit foxy with my 'slightly too long for a 34 year old' hair! :rotfl:
