Ex was getting on my case about child daycare subsidies, the tax agency wants money back... excellent :S

I really wish the tax people would get their act together with this. Every year we get a bill from them for revised changes from 2 or 3 years previous. Makes me !

From what we have pieced back so far the tax bds are right in this one, the ex cocked up the subsidy arrangments for a while, so we received too much.

Ah. For us, it's always a revision of their rules. And it's never a small sum. Barstewards!

This time the sum is more then her car cost (a 2001 focus with a stty clutch ) but that isnt saying much

We've also got a tax return coming for last year, which was still shared, which should cover this, but i might have to front the money..

Aaaaand back to the top, cant fall off page 1 can we?

had a chat with management at work, telling them about all the st the project is in. thankfully they seem receptive and are willing to give us space to improve things rather then forcing to continue the endless stream of feature requests

As i said it was my 48th year on the planet yesterday and I took my car into be fixed.

I got a lift back from the garage home by the garage which was nice, but decided once done to walk the 4 miles to pick it up as it was a nice warm day.

Forgetting I live on top of a valley, my legs hate me today. I am walking slowly and painfully.

That'll be old age. Muscle wastage and memory loss. Welcome to the club.

Very much an acquired taste, surely.

6:30AM? Oh no, no, no. That's far too early for sensible people to be out of bed.

[DickyC]

Sensible people? Where?

[coopedup]

Certainly not here

[Vitorio]

Who me? nah...

Morning all, another day in the salt mine

I walked just under 7 miles on Sunday, I still ache today.

Was that a song by The Proclaimers?

had a towbar fitted to my car and bought a trailer.

I have become my father


although towing stuff is secretly exciting at the moment.

Won't be long and you can come and join us in the caravan thread

thats probably the plan next year ! the trailer is purely to make going camping easier: my wife seems to really need the kitchen sink on holiday.

although so far Ive used it for shifting great logs in to stock on wood for my multifuel stove.

I cannot reverse it for toffee.

I'm losing man points every time I try.
