‘S been a funny couple of weeks. My daughter reached her 1st birthday (OMFG ! When did the someone sneak in and abscond with the last year thank you soooo very much !?)

We had parentals from both sides visit and had a nice lunch out together, then party with great birthday cake courtesy of Z…[nice going baby !] plus friends from Dunbar visit with their little guy, just a few weeks older than the Minx…a really nice, grown-up weird kind of day.

Still (despite daily evidence to the contrary !? 5:30am wake-ups, nappies, grinching) feels odd to think of myself as a parent ?! It’s almost other-worldly and a bit ethereal sometimes, think we need to have more…just to be sure

Oh and in addition..I still haven’t shifted this snot-slick banging about in my sinuses, I have managed to get back to biking to work, am back to karate (YAY!), got my annual appraisal (all round good and some ££ ) and have now got 10 days and counting to finish my tax return before HM Customs come round and give me a good kicking ?!

Feck Feck Feck Feck Feck Feck Feck Feck Feck Feck Feck Feck…..

<Update on the Tax return:>
    Exactly like studying for finals…sooner you get into the better !! Paperwork gathered and form completed in less than an hour…No how do I go about getting these dumb-asses to STOP asking me to confirm how much tax they are already deducting from me monthly at source ! You monkeys are taxing me ?!?! What d’you mean you want me to self-assess…can’t you tell how much you are taking off me ?!? ARRghghgh…gnhgnhgnhgnh

Sigh…nevermind…on a happier note I had a great day with the grrrls today and a couple of hours nerding updating my personal site will put the finishing touches to a fine weekend ?!
