The ground is damp as there has been a bit of light drizzle overnight but life in DD's dungeon goes on as normal.:)
All my fencing and posts are completed now but the gates cannot be hung until the concrete holding the huge oak posts has 'gone off' - the concrete mixer failure on day 1 has caused the delay.
Have a productive and enjoyable day folks.:)

PS. The sun's just burst through. :)
 
Morning All :D
A lovely day out there, bright & clear.
I was wrong Monday, the task set by wifey was manhandle huge shrubs out of pots and replant them.
It is today that is breast screening day, my mistake. :(
So I shall be chauffer to madam for the trip to the mobile unit. I shall put the car through the wash while she is in there and then collect her.
Have a lovely day everyone. :D
 
The card links the user to the mot and yer have to state the location. So it's still a safe system. Only registered companies with the right kit can do it. It's the card holder that's made responsible for the test being done propper these days. With internet on phones etc then its possible too wander about but cheating the system means the man from the ministry ses no if yer logged doing somefink wrong. Then yer lose yer card. Also penalties fer doing fings wrong like fines. Like most fings theres a loop hole to get round. A typical moter would lose income if they had their card taken oft them.
This is what has happened to him.
And yes, when it came to the one done for the vehicle in Harwich, he prolly did it standing in the garage in Poole. But then again maybe not. The guy doing it right in front of me, on his tablet said "I could be sitting on the beach doing this, as long as I put my code in within 15 seconds of being told to."
Perhaps he was bullsh!tting just a bit. I wouldn't know!
 
Well, we had a power cut during the night so the heating came on late this a.m. so got up late.
Then Wifey got a letter from HMIR which sent her off!
So I managed to get her to eat her brekker.
She then got all her papers out and got on the phone to them. After an interminable wait, she got to speak to a person, who she then tied up in knots. During this person's second trip to talk to her supervisor, Wifey got cut off!
So she is right now waiting to speak to someone again! Very boring! She'll win, she always does, but I think this time she will not only be making an official complaint, yet again, and getting a tax statement going back to 2010, but she may even get the Audit Commission involved, as she thinks a possible fraud may be going on. i.e. the tax office having a fraudster in it.
It's an 0300 number, but Wifey has free calls on her mobile till April!
Good thing!
(She's just got through, and I have popcorn!):):):)

Every time HMRC wrote to me saying I owed them MORE I was able to show categorically that they failed at basic maths and in fact they owed me over £2k.
No apology, no "So sorry to have stressed you in this manner with a bullying demand", just a cheque for the overpaid tax. :) Bastids!
