Not sure if it was result of self assessment or filling out some PAYE forms I was sent, but I had letter and cheque from tax people for about three times the previously assessed sum they said they owed me - I think a series of part-time jobs and a redundancy over last few years meant everybody was overtaxing me and nobody was giving me my full allowances. I did ring to check, before I banked and spent it, but they seemed to think it was right.
I'd already decided I needed a new computer before I realised the old one was seven years old, so I've started spending my tax rebate.
This is my first blog from my shiny new computer with flat screen monitor - it seems very sleek. My lover set it up for me and I have Internet access, but no long list of favourites collected over the years. Will see what settings I can import from old computer and decide whether to have all the old familiars here or start again. Blog UK is now here as my first 'favourite'. I'm also using Internet Explorer as apparently HP prefer it to Mozilla, but once settled I may go back to using Firefox.
