I've just discovered Hoffmans Extra Strong Chrayne (horseradish) and now I'm growing hairs on my chest :shock: I had it with pickled herrings and brioche :thumbup:

Is that self cert for SSP only? That's £96 per week, I can't see many swinging the lead for that.

Getting ready for Christmas. PCR came back negative. All systems go for Midnight Mass and Christmas Day services.

Getting ready to get on the phone to HMRC for the fourth day in a row to sort the cock up they’ve made.

In short my wife’s yearly salary (I employed her) for year 18-19 has been transposed onto her 19-20 P60 as a previous employer. To add insult to injury it shows the whole amount being paid as tax. So that’s thrown up all kinds of errors culminating in a demand for £5.6k.

I just can’t find anyone to take ownership of this and be able to remove this phantom previous employer entry.

It’s doing my nut in.

And I've had a quick blast out on the Speed Triple to deliver last minute cards and collect some incense for tonight's Midnight Mass. The bike is filthy again, but it is an excuse to give it a good clean next week when things are quieter and I have some time on hand! Now to peel potatoes for this afternoons dinner and our main meal for the day.

Sat having a beer on the prom at Çaliş, outside the hotel. It's a gorgeous day, no wind, no clouds. I've just confirmed my Christmas dinner choice for tomorrow.

The world is a happy place.

Wfh day today, but got a shout via the GoodSam app for a cardiac arrest nearby. Turns out I wasn't needed as there was nothing that could be done. Looks like someone is going into Christmas without a father.

Prepping food for tomorrow whilst keeping an eye on my sossie rolls which are cooking nicely in the new oven! Never made anything like that before, but I think it's fair to say, I'm the bollocks! :thumbup:

Blimey!! I mean, it's not the first time someone has said that, but usually it was when I was out with my best mate and we both (at the time) rode Blackbirds - so, obviously!! LOL


But despite the general observations that I'm either lesbian or a dominatrix, I'm neither!! :lol: :lol: :lol:


Probably just not relationship material!! LOL (Upbringing probably caused that!! LOL)

Early Christmas Day to accommodate movements of family, no big deal
Nice to get it out the way.
And, if we really want to, can do it again tomorrow! ;)
