It was a really good scheme EL and by rights my car should be included by now.  But of course as soon as the government realised that more and more cars were lasting and would be exempted they stopped doing it.  My car is 25 years old.

 

Isn't it a pain Yogi?  We pay massive tax every time we fill the car up and £145 for what?  Just driving on the roads.  It's like the TV licence, when I told some Americans we had to pay just to watch the TV they could hardly believe it and as for adverts we get just as many from the BBC for their programme promos.

Hiya Buddies

Still not feeling all that good tbh. Migraine last night too

Not feeling to bad migraine wise though

Have a great day everyone. Back soon

Moonie is there a trigger for your migraines?  They seem to be so bad at the moment.

Hi Squiggle
I dunno about a trigger tbh. They just seem to be random to me.....

I know some people keep a food diary to track down any possible triggers.  I had wondered whether it was the hot weather making them worse, heavy humid weather can bring on headaches I know but I am not sure about migraines

I think squiggle's idea of keeping a food & drink diary is a good one for trying to see if there is a food or drink cause behind the migraines.

 

 I agree with everything you say, Squiggle. 

Aww Moonie, it can get you down when it drags on like this. I hope you feel better soon - we miss you when you aren't around.

Squiggle, thanks to your reminder, my car is now displaying a new tax disc and I am legal.

I am glad Yogi, fancy our tax discs running out on the same day. 

 

You might be very interested in my post on Chris's Classy Chicks.

Even our tac discs are in synch.

I 'liked' your post and I think you could very well be right about Helen.

Edit: sorry Squiggle, I have now seen your second post and I agree with everything the DS poster said.

Yogi, and squiggle, you may want to keep your new tax discs as souvenirs when they run out next year as paper discs are not expected to be issued from October. The police now rely on an electronic register.

 

I will keep mine and when PB is older, I'll show her how we used to do things in the olden days.

I'm going to have an early night - I can't stop yawning.

Goodnight and sweet dreams. Night owl hugs for Summer and Moonie.P

*night owls* sorry everyone- busy day!
Hope you've all had a good one

Sweetest of dreams

Good morning everyone.

An overcast start to the day.

Apart from catching up on some ironing, I have no definite plans for today. What is everyone else up to?

Catch up later.

 

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here, currently dry, but forecast to be wet from noon.

 

Yogi, my plan today is to do the corporation tax calculations for what HMRC call a members club. This client has a lot of investments and there have been quite a few disposals during the year which means that I have to do a capital gains computation for each disposal. The calculations are a bit more complicated than those for individuals, 

 

My client's contact has been on holiday this week and I intend to send him my draft accounts, tax calculations, and a long list of queries to him so he has them on his return. There's a meeting of the trustees in mid August which is why I've been concentrating on this client during the week.

 

That sounds a lot more complex than my ironing, El. Hope it is easier than it sounds.

It's more complex than ironing but I've done this enough times to know what to do.

 

Good morning everyone, dry but cloudy is all you can say about our weather.  I am glad you know what you're doing EL, it all sounds very complex to me.

 

Enjoy your day everyone, I will leave you with this little thought

 

 Love it!

The poem in squiggle's post was written by Taylor Russell as he was fascinated by glow worms as a child.

 

The Cheltenham Banksy artwork has been defaced overnight. It may be able to be saved as it is thought that the original paint had some anti-graffiti material in it and more anti-graffiti material over the finished artwork.

I've just completed that client's tax calculations and checked it. A bit more work to do before I send the draft accounts etc off to the client but the hard work is done

 

Well done, El. I'm happy to report that my ironing is done too.

Hahahahahahahaaaaa!!!! I love the glow worm poem and what a happy little face he has too.

Afternoon all raining here today, it's lovely

I hope you're each getting all your jobs done nice and easily

I've been on a hunt for (Scottish) soda scones and I can't find any. They appear to have gone out of food fashion. I can find Irish soda farls but they aren't the same, imo. I may have to resort to making my own, but you know how bad good my scones are .

Yogi, my ex girlfriend's mother used to make Irish soda bread which made a nice alternative to ordinary bread.

You fear the worst but honestly it's OK

 

I'll give it a try, El.

I had been avoiding bread products while my stomach was upset but now things have settled, I am able to eat it again.

Aww! I honestly think it was the bear's intention to rescue the bird.

Squiggle, I'm glad that bird was rescued.

 

Oh yes Yogi, he could easily have harmed the bird, I found it very heartwarming.

It was, Squiggle. 

I've been weeding. There were millions of them out there!

Okay, I'm exaggerating but there were loads.

Evening all hope you've had a good day

What's a Scottish sofa scone ?!

It's a soda scone. It's an unsweetened scone and is lovely, toasted with butter.

 

I like scones!

I do too. 

I can't bake them though, they turn out like biscuits.
