Updates
Right, I did promise to update you on how the cleaning went:
Fortunately for me, it was second time lucky and the lass DID manage to get to the right house. My house is now sparkling and clean, or it was until the cold Shamal wind picked up and blew the sandpit back in under the door. The Shamal lasted for about a week, right over the time when my friend Lynsey was staying.
Lyns, you'll be pleased to know that as soon as you got on the plane, the Shamal stopped and it's now nice and toasty here, 22C.
At least the Mosquitos stayed away.
And Ashley asked about the Taxman:
He finally got back in touch and reckoned I still owed him 160 quid. I phoned him up (actually it was a lady, but still), and the conversation went something like this:
Me: I don't owe you 160 quid.
Taxman: Yes you do.
Me: No I don't. You have a completely fictional amount that you think I owe you from the previous year.
Taxman: Oh yes, so we do.
Me: So you agree that I don't owe you anything?
Taxman: Yes.
Remember folks, tax doesn't have to be taxing!
