I got a tax bill last year. Not a huge amount, but enough that I couldn’t instantly pay it. I did what any self respecting person does, I ignored it. It sat in my ‘inbox’ waiting for the month when I had that much spare.

Eventually it got burried by other stuff.

Then I got a new Self Assessment. I filled it in, and moved the original bill back up – “must pay this” I thought.

And… left it.

And I’d forgotten about it until the brown envelope marked “INLAND REVENUE” arrived. ‘Oh fuckit’ I thought, ‘I’ve still not paid it and they’re pissed off…’. Then I opened it.

I have ‘nothing more to pay’ :-)

Ra.

Chalk one up for leaving things until they go away.

In other news, I’m actually wearing a skirt – and y’know what, it’s not ‘cos everything’s dirty. Although there are 3 loads of washing (first’s in). I’ve got my remote control car & boat – (the car is one of these! I’ve only ever seen one in real life; and that was in a scrap yard…) – I’ve also found my not-quite-scaletrix (bought from a jumble sale years ago) – which I hope I can clean up and get working for my lil’ nephews.

What else…?

Pfer. Oh yes.

I brought back my period 1960’s suitcase, well, it’s my mum’s. Because y’know what. I’m going to Alaska in less than a week! Can y;believe it?! Wooot.

So yes. It’s here. And manky, and old, and smaller than I remember, but probably big enough. So Woot.

Sadly, the Spam has started getting through; I need to sort out the hows, whys and wherefores, but until then all comments will be regarded as Spam. If you want to leave a comment, e-mail me at kate@[the domain this site is on]. k?

Good.

For some reason it’s inordinate amounts of fun; and lookie, you can create fabulous little things…

Things I want

Kaylee from Firefly reminds me of… me?

So.

I get up, usually around when Trey gets up (i.e. 6ish), today around 7:30. I make myself some kind of breakfast, unless I’m going swimming, and then I plod round to my PC, because I’m extremely sad and I like to check my mail and read various sites the same way as people read newspapers.

Once I’m done, I plod to the shower, clean myself up, and then head back do drink coffee and maybe consider working.

Then I sit here, ’til lunch, working intermittently.

Make lunch.

Do more work.

Watch telly, wait for Trey.

Isn’t my life a hoot? Anyway, this used to be regularly interspersed with episodes of ‘working’; by which I mean, actually for cold hard money being a Health Care Assistant. This wild excitement brought with it the benefits of actually being able to pay my bills.
(more…)

I am still exhausted. Although I did virtually sod-all yesterday, today I went swimming and my aching back and muscles complained bitterly, especially at Filton’s cool pool water. I fought my way up and down doing lengths, each time not certain that I would be able to make the end (and that I might have to dash to the side and rest).

But it felt good.

What feels less good is sitting here contemplating the Maternity EU pack; again. Or the endless stream of incoming work. I am so tired. All I want to do is sleep.

We watched an episode of Firefly last night; the first episode; it *rocked*. I was, it must be said, frustrated when Dark Angel got cancelled, and they should have kept both on, actually… and to know that they canned firefly too; bah. But anyway, I’ve got a whole season of that to watch :)

Ra.

Still want to sleep though.
