Postie came this morning, armed with a bunch of junk as usual - one of them was from Inland Revenue - boo hiss I cried.
Opened it up - it was a tax rebate cheque for 200 big ones, I apparently overpaid in 2004!
How lovely! And that's nearly half what I'll need if the valuer suggests replacing my carpets tomorrow.

Did the bailiffs ever come round by the way? Not yet - I took some advice from here and Consumer Direct, and wrote to Britannia (recorded delivery

Ha, I doubt it! But in fairness, I didn't even know I'd overpaid, it was a total surprise. I'd never have known if the taxman hadn't been so honest My sig's too large, apparently - so apologies to whoever's space I was taking up.:lipsrseal0 -
