I hear her breathing but when I woke up, with a start, she wasn’t there. The breathing continued whilst I frantically pull at the covers searching for her, I can hear her, where is she? Suddenly she appeared, standing over me, panicked and sweating, something about my Dad… my heart racing I suddenly sit up and realise I had been asleep. I turn to my left and there she is, lying next to me, shallow breathing her way through her dream.

Bit of a disturbed sleep last night, took me ages to get over as well, mind racing, make a list for that, start doing that, remember not to forget to do that.

Amongst the triviality of my day I need to phone the gas company and tell them I’ll pay the bill on Friday (payday), go to the bank to deposit a cheque from the Inland Revenue, all £14.81 of it, and consider getting a haircut knowing fine well I’ll leave it until next week. What excitement does your day hold?

In a rather spooky case of coincidence, not only has my tax return form arrived (against the backdrop of the budget) but my plans to attempt an online submission of my details may not go ahead. Not if
Oin’s experience last year is anything to go by that is.

Like him, I too am PAYE and have no extra income, no savings (ha! don’t make me laugh) or any accounting jiggery-pokery going on. Every year I tell the tax office the same thing, suggesting they could save some money, but they never listen. Same as the time I complained when they sent me a cheque for £0.00. Yes you did read that correctly.
