Love that hat and jacket. That's a great look. You look like you just came from Camden Market in the 60s!

Did have some good news yesterday, just didn't fancy reporting it.
I had a letter at the beginning of the month from Leicester City Council. They claimed I owed £270 council tax from 2007-08 and it was at the point where I would be expected to attend court and could be imprisoned for non-payment. Now a year ago, or two years ago that would have sent me into a huge panic. I probably wouldn't have opened it in the first place, when I saw it was from Leicester in case it was bad news (which it was). Instead I opened the letter, filled in the details on the back re my ability to pay and added a query as to what period this referred to given that I moved in July 2007 and had in fact already received a refund for monies paid. Got a call yesterday from a very helpful lady at the Council. They had re-opened my file because of a letter from the solicitor working on behalf of the landlord back in 2007 to say I was no longer resident at the property. The letter was dated November 2007, so the assumption was made that I had been resident until that time. Which meant I was also liable to repay the refund. Anyway, we cleared it all up. I do not owe them any money and they will be sending me a letter to this effect. Which is of course a good thing. But better is that I dealt with it all myself, no panic, no tears, no suicidal thoughts. I dealt with it like a normal healthy person would. What a wonderful realisation. |
Well done, Sundae!

Dealing with the taxman is never any fun -- you handled it in a more adult fashion than many other people would have!

If you figure a penny saved is a penny earned, and SG spent maybe 20 minutes on the phone, she was making £810/hr for the time she was on that phone. Not bad at all.

My wife called and told me the Sun was shining. I had to go out and look... sure enough is!

I passed my toe loop.

I found a couple yoga stretches for my back and things are looking much better. A new mattress might finish the whole issue.

Griff...you just gave me an idea for a poll.

Oh, and since this is the happy thread...running makes me happy! |
I do a stretch (may or may not be yoga) that seems to help. I sit on the floor with one leg straight out and the other leg bent and over it with the foot dangling. I put my arms around my elevated knee and pull it to my chest. I only do this after a warm-up. Remember though I'm just some guy on the internet, don't hurt yourself.
