    I am well behind with mine this year - did the bead shop accounts on Wednesday night and have all the information for the other stuff, apart from my mileage log, which is in my car, which is currently parked at Inverness airport, because Mr Minx hates leaving his precious Audi in the long stay on its own for a week!!!!

    I got my taxes back from the accountant and we are getting a refund!! The equilavant of £6150!!
    We had a bad year financially and overpaid. This refund will do our savings (and that large nasty plumber bill) so much good.
    Drinks all around as I will be flush soon!:beer:
    Overprepare, then go with the flow.
