Astounding

Today I received my tax refund.  This is exciting for a number of reasons:

  • I was dangerously close to being totally broke... credit cards and all. Whilst not a massive refund, this is enough to keep me out of trouble for a while.

  • I can be efficient!  I can be efficient!  Never, in the entire of my working life, have I ever been organised enough to submit my tax return in July.  Or August, or September for that matter.  Usually, I'm just scraping it in by the October deadline.

  • I can now file away the mountain of receipts and paperwork that have been cluttering my study for the last month and concentrate on using my study for more important things. Like writing.

  • I can finally go to Ikea, buy another bookcase and unpack the two boxes of antique books (some dating back to the mid-1800s) originally belonging to my Great-Aunt which were rescued from a thrift shop by my Claytons aunt and uncle, after my real aunt had decided they weren't worth keeping.  She's an idiot.  

Huzzah.

Right.  Back to it.  

As you were.
