Ramblings about cats, games and miscellanea.
Those of you who are employed by someone else will probably not know that online self assessment tax returns have to be in by the 30th of December.
I, however, did know - they wrote to me in April and told me. Today is the 21st of December, and that means that I have 8 days left in which to submit my tax return.
It's not that I forgot, it's just that I have been incredibly efficient at putting it off. It's not that numbers scare me, it's just that these numbers have consequences. And that I ...

So it's not looking so good for my Christmas Story, is it? The things I'm doing are taking a surprisingly long amount of time to get right, and I'm rapidly running out of time.

Just a quick post to let you all know that I haven't forgotten about this Christmas Story thing, but I've had a hectic week-and-a-bit so haven't managed to get much done other than work.
This week should be a bit quieter - I've caught up with the work from when I was in Kent last week, so this week should just be some minor site upgrades, some more site migration, and sorting out my self assessment tax return - SUPER HAPPY JOY FUN! Nothing like leaving things to the last minute, eh? Yes, so I'm hoping I ...
