hello rate payers
and @ KJ toojra - I've never done it late. My own tax return yes, on occasion (the dog ate it, if anyone from the IR is reading), but in all the years of VAT-ing it, I've always met the deadline. We've been on a flat rate for a while now so there really are no excuses... but it's never my favourite thing to do so the kitchen floor wins every time anyway.

I know the feeling. I'd rather be doing just about anything else, than filling in a tax return.

The January deadline is looming large. I need to get myself a dog that looks capable of eating a laptop.

She may be destructive but on the plus side she is very reliable when it comes to destruction - and she does it with a smile and a big waggy tail. What more could you ask for in a domestic employee.

I'll send you my mutt... this morning he attacked a Christmas card someone dared push through the letterbox and tried to eat the postman too. Sad thing is I know that given the chance to get at him he'd only wee on his foot anyway
I eventually finished the essay, an hour before the deadline so not sure what I was panicking about Got another due in on Monday so I really should start that at some point I suppose... and shhhh let's not talk tax returns I'm ignoring mine until after Christmas!

Re tax returns, the only tax return that I have ever done ever anywhere is here in Australia this year. For me it was quite an enjoyable experience as I got all my tax back Nothing exciting happening here, or if it has I've forgotten about it - I'm getting old and feeble minded

I love Rhodies - used to know one called Zeus quite well. Well enough for him to park his bum on my lap whenever I sat down (front paws on the floor - Zeus obviously, not me).

DestructoPup has recently discovered that she can jump onto the outside dining table and sit in the middle of it. Why she would want to, I don't know, and I don't think she does either as she generally looks a tad bemused when she's up there. I'm trying to discourage her but if all else fails I'll stick a bit of tinsel on her and call her the table centre piece
![]() Seriously we do wash down the table regularly and i'm hoping that it's just a phase that she'll grow out of ![]() Work today was seriously pants but that's pretty much par for the course. I got told off though but I won't lose any sleep over it. My job is going to disappear in a few weeks anyway. |

1,227 QI Facts To Blow Your Socks Off [Kindle Edition] I have learned things about guinea pigs and bats. ![]() Weather very bleurgh here - and OH is snoring in the other room - just a nap allegedly. I have almost finished the Crimble shopping but I need to get wrapped and delivered too before we jet off to the sun - can't wait! The dog is having a mmad half hour and keeps trying to wake OH up with licks and pawing - perhaps he doesn't like the snoring either. Can't believe I've had a week of my hols already - time flies when you're enjoying a lay in. Almost wine o'clock - huzzah! |

I learned about this from the book:
http://www.theworld.org/2011/09/rent...n-switzerland/ Switzerland has an unusual animal welfare law that protects “social animals.” We now have one piggy , and she didn't like any of the potential chums we introduced her to, so we'd end up in Swiss jail. ![]() bats Our neighbours told us later that it's a normal thing and that most Swiss living up our mountain would've taken one night in jail instead. You live and learn... ![]() In other news - the bat family have grown by one, thanks to Sad. He's small, stuffed and very cute. In my extremely tired state I believe that makes perfect sense.
