    Hi SSL how are things

    Hi jjef - great thanks. Cant believe its December already, but hey ho. How are things with you?
    *Warning - rant alert

    OK nothing really in the great scheme of things, but -
    Letter from Council Tax Benefit Office - I have been chosen as part of the 5% check on "cases assessed without physical evidence being received"
    Which would be fine if I hadn't gone to the office and handed in the form with all the paper evidence they asked for to be checked. Just phoned and yes they need to see it all again.
    So I have to make a special trip into town - no way am I using their envelope to post it.

    Trouble is I am so annoyed I will probably end up treating myself to something just to cheer myself up :o

    Rant off*

    Oh crafty - what a nightmare. It must be that time of year. I am getting a visit from the council to check up on me :confused:

    Sunnygirl - biological washing liquid to kill the enzymes and therefore the (invisible to you) smell, then tin foil over the place she goes - they supposedly do not like it under their feet.

    I have filled/emptied the DW and done some S&S in the kitchen and the bathroom. Beyond that too tired and cold.
