It is that time of year when I need to avoid missing that I owe £5million in tax by making a careless error.

Grumble:
Catalytic converter cut of car while we were away. Looks like insurance write off or just sell for parts as the amount I am likely to get may make keeping no claims bonus a better bet.

Grumbling about the start of a 4th multii-hour outage of a single cable TV channel in less than 24 hours.

Interesting that it's only affecting customers of AT&T / DirecTV and no other providers or streaming services in the world.

Took them long enough. After all, the utility companies got their money in advance - all that lovely interest they accumulate.
On a side note, took a reading of gas to complete autumn/winter spreadsheet & it is double what last years was. :-(
