Thanks @Watty1 and @brie ๐
Good day had here ๐
After a lazy start I went out to visit a local friend. We had a good chat and laughter ๐
Came home, put washing on the line and did some gentle pootling in the garden - trimmed all the bed edges, did some tidying up pruning, watered things, moved delicate pots into the semi shade for the warm weather this week etc.ย
Washing came back in perfectly dry ๐๐
Iโm all prepped for my first day at work tomorrow. Have also swopped to a summer duvet and blanket as I am getting too hot during the night atm.ย
Chloe is starting to try to run about now โฆ ๐๐๐๐
Iโve set up a second litter tray in the conservatory for the daytime for her, as we are both out all day from tomorrow. But she will have the run of the conservatory which is an extension of territory for her since her accident.ยKKAs at 17.03.26:

Even if youโve added through employer you can claim the HR tax element back, employers just claim the standard tax rate backยKajiKita said:
