Woke early so decided to get up. Stuff to do!
Couple of runs to Ilfracombe tip ...... oops!........ 'Recycling Centre' this morning, followed by trips to locally charity shops.
One week to go until the big move to Somerset.

I seem to have finally caught my first cold in over 3 years. I suspect it was when I visited my dad’s old neighbour on Monday as he had had a bad one and was on steroids for his chest. I’ll just take it easy for a couple of days.

I finished watching Better last night and enjoyed it.

A cloudy start to the day here in Barnet.
We're off to meet our son today in Amersham for a walk in the Chilterns, and a pub lunch.

I could check on the web site

but I like the tension

At this moment I could be a millionaire!!!!

Sorry to tell you this but if you win £1m someone from the PBs knocks on the door to tell you.

We only live an hours drive from ERNIE so if they haven't turned up by 11.00 on the first of the month I stop dreaming.

Well good day good people of Cyclechat. Grey. Again! Told you it would be like this till next Monday.

Today I'm going to blitz the housework starting after this post. This afternoon I have a meeting with my cycle club sponsor. Ownership has changed and we need to look at how we progress in the future.

I'm waiting for a phone call from my FA. This isn't her fault but I've a problem which she might resolve. Every year I make a small drawdown £2000 max, this year £1000, from my pension. Every year something goes wrong with the tax as the pension company make the deduction and I have to reclaim from HMRC. Last year the error was a tax overpayment which I ignored as I couldn't stand the grief with HMRC.

Yesterday HMRC hit me with a £100 late filing penalty. I hit the roof. I'm not a tax payer and the HMRC self-assesment tool says I don't need to make a submission. I was 90 minutes on hold with HMRC yesterday before I was automatically cut off. This has to be connected with the pension company telling HMRC something and not informing me.

Did my own tax return for 40 years without a problem. Retired, non taxpayer, every year it goes wrong.
