Rhiarti's ramblings

Just a gathering place for random things which catch my eye and are too shiny to leave behind...

harkaway:

Brilliant.

Oh this is beautiful! More story walls please, world!

For this they cut down trees?

I just received a letter – addressed on the envelope to the current address I provided, on the letter itself to one I left four years ago – from HMRC. They helpfully advised me they’re either sending it because I contacted them to register for Self Assessment or because they want me to complete a tax return.

Er. Right.

Well, I have recently registered as self employed, so I’m going to guess it’s the former?

Apparently what happens next is they’ll send me a Notice (capital “N” presumably denoting something entirely different to your common or garden notice) to complete my tax return.

I’m pathologically ill-suited to the Emperor’s New Clothes game so fashionable among pointless corporate bureaucrats. So, forgive me if I’m mistaken, but did they just send me a letter to advise me they’ll be sending me a letter to advise me when I need to complete my online tax return?

Really? Really?! 

And for this they cut down trees…

Spent the weekend at Castle Gaiman relaxing gloriously and working on a Top Sekret art project. This is not the Top Sekret art project; this is Neil on a trampoline.
As promised.
Use it wisely.
