    Hey benben....I haven't started a diary coz there isn't anywhere for it to go :( But I love reading yours!!!

    I'm naughty and I'm charity shopping or recycling ALL my clutter. I know I should ebay etc. but I've been meaning to do all that kind of stuff for about 2 years and work keeps getting in the way! Also I actually can't move around my flat, so finally made the decision to just get rid of stuff.

    Well done on getting your tax return done.....mine is still on my list :(

    Hope you have a chilled Sat eve :grin:

    Although the offence is "failure to display" the tax disc, when I was in the same position a couple of months ago, I asked a police sargeant who said print off the confirmation of the tax purchase online, and you would have to be very very unlucky to come across a police officer who would not allow that to stand.

    Exactly the same for me, Hypno. Taxing it online takes no time at all and, like you said, it would be awful luck to find about the only copper in England who wouldn't let you off.

    Mushy - I'm going to restart my diary on Tuesday so don't hold back, get on and post it...

  • Hi ben ben
    Go and have your walk and some relax time with your friend before DS gets home. Everyting else will still be there when you get back but you can take your time doing it all. Friends and family come first, you can worry about the other stuff later:D :D:D:D
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.

    Well I'm back, the walk was lovely although it was extremely muddy and my boots and trousers are soaked and covered in mud but it was all good fun :D
    Only spent £2.80 on 2 hot chocolates afterwards and then had spag bol at my friends house for lunch ;):D Also put £15 of petrol in the car but I knew I had to get that this week anyhow. ds is home again now, so we can all resume normal service :D
