    HHPaperwork - check your utility bills, if you are in credit at this time of year you may be able to get your DD reduced (I did). Start putting bits together for your tax return. Check travel insurance and passports are in date if you are going away (have a good trip Bossymoo). Are you opening an ISA this year?
