This could be a challenging weekend.

• Visit Old Dock Cottages (also Open Doors)

• Shopping -- especially finding somewhere to source good decaf coffee beans now Fresh & Wild's closed down, dammit


• Rough out design for simple photography portfolio site


• Watch Mona Lisa Smile

EDIT: Those Dyson filters don't half get mucky after a few years, don't they? I guess that's why you're supposed to wash them every six months.

Complete Tax Return
Oh yes, they've got to be in by 30 September now, haven't they? If you don't trust the online submission system (which, having worked in IT, and also having seen HMRC's track record with computer systems, I don't). Cheers for the reminder.

Luckily mine's pretty simple, just straight employment, interest on the odd account and part-time earnings small enough that I can just add them up and put them in the one box on the form... It's getting the round tuits I've been having problems with...

Oh yes, mine's pretty simple too - PAYE from a single employer, plus a pitiful amount of account interest and one tiny deductible (LMS membership) but about twelve years ago they decided I should fill in a self-assessment form, thus dooming me to several hours' frantic P60-hunting on the last Sunday afternoon in January every year since.

You know you can tell them to knock that off, don't you? I was filling those in for a couple of years after I stopped contracting, then someone told me I could just call them up and tell them I probably didn't need self-assessment any more. I did, and they said "fine", and took me off the list. It's only because I've recently increased my part-time earnings that I've voluntarily gone back. (Damn you, writing and photography, for earning me enough to declare but not enough to make it worth hiring an accountant!)

Gosh, I didn't know that - thanks very much, I'll look into it.

That actually wrote back to me after a couple on "null" returns and said don't bother doing a tax return again until your circumstances change.
