Grrrr. Trying to de-clutter a work frog. Now been waiting for 'an advisor' for 10mins on hold. This is about my 8th attempt in 2 days. Don't you just love HMRC:eek:
Plan once I actually get this sorted is a quick trip to post-office then SC and WM on.GC Mar 13 £47.36/£1500 -
Oh no, you've just reminded me the taxman owes me money.
Hopefully it should be relatively simple now the end of the year's been (although maybe not if I've only got one of the two P60s I should have
)

Update: HMRC finally answered. Bug in their system - I've been trying to work out what's wrong for a WEEK! Oh well. Better late than never.
Off to put the SC on. Although due to a late surface its not going to be dinner tonight. Sausage and mash instead, but casserole is always better 24hrs later I think. Hope I can eat some of it. Stomach still very dodgy. Managed scrambled eggs and toast last night.
piggers cheer up. You could try what my godmother did when I screamed (age 18mths and sleeping in the bath) - feed me red wine:p (Although probably not a good idea with a-biotics) Maybe you should drink the red wineGC Mar 13 £47.36/£1500 -
spoke too soon just managed to get washing off line(90% dry) before the heavens opened and it was torrential for 5 minutes now the sun has come out again, waiting for the next big black cloud to go by first though before I put the next lot on the line!!!Thanks to MSE savings we got to go to Disneyworld Florida.

Ooooo so glad I waited - that big black cloud has produced more rain than the last one and lightening and thunder to go with it - me thinks it's time to get the airer out - don't like the look of the sky now.Thanks to MSE savings we got to go to Disneyworld Florida.

Afternoon all,
Got lots done in the garden after work yesterday, cos it didn't start raining till after 5pm. But that meant not much done in the house...
Two loads of washing pegged out, brought in, pegged out, brought in etc.........
Stuff put on Freecycle & stuff to relist later on Ebay. Does anyone know if I can relist stuff that didn't sell for free the other weekend, or do I have to do completely new listings to take advantage of the free listings offer?
