    Wow you lucky people in Kent.  We've had a few showers, and that's a generous use of the word 😯, which haven't wet a window or the ground 😲. 

    A beautiful sunset, with pink blue stripes 😆

    Got home last night at about 2330hrs after our spur of the moment decision to go to Pendle Hill and Malham Cove.  Blowing a real gale up Pendle but sun came out and was lovely at Malham

    It was a busy evening yesterday, I did three Shoreham deliveries and eight in Lancing. Eleven altogether. At least the addresses were easy enough to find, unlike the previous day.

    Lovely sunny morning here in Worthing. We're just about to have breakfast now.

    Still dry here in Yorkshire. We had a light shower yesterday, but it barely touched the ground. 

    Just sown some grass seed, so will need to water it if no rain soon.

    We have had some heavy showers here over the last couple of days, so I've had my share of getting soaked whilst doing deliveries!frown It looks like you've been luckier there with the weather, IanH.

    Pizza Hut have asked me to work an extra shift from 12 to 8 p.m. on Thursday. At £7.50 per hour, it will mean another £60 in earnings this week.

    Might be much less if you haven't ended your self employment status. BR rate until they sort out your tax code. So that'll be basic rate on every penny 😲. Two employers too. Nicely complex for a while 😉.

    Cleaned upstairs trying to work up enthusiasm for downstairs 😔. Very dark clouds and washing out but probably it'll miss us again. Quick catch up on here - very little activity, I take it everyone else is knuckled under with their chores/duties etc but please don't tell me you're out enjoying yourselves!

    Surely, I'll need to complete the tax return for the last financial year before ending the self-employed status? The deadline for that for the online return is 31st January 2018 which is still a long way off.

    And does your employer know you are going away  so soon after starting work with them?

    My gosh Malcolm, you do like to fly by the seat of your pants!

    Did this not come up in conversation at the interview?

    Don't think I would be impressed if I was the employer really.

    If it was me I would be putting my laptop away and speaking to HMRC asap to sort out my current tax situation instead of posting on here. Far more important in my eyes.

    I just tried using the online HMRC and it looks as though I can't do anything until 35 days after my first payslip, as they would need the reference details of it.

    Find that hard to believe. I'm sure you'll have the details off your first payslip, I don't see why you would have to wait 35 days after that?

    In my view I would be picking the phone up and speaking to a human being as to how to proceed, not trying to guess it myself. I have always found HMRC very human when I've had dealings with them in the past.

    It was a dreadful Bank Holiday weekend here in North Cornwall - 2 days of virtually unremitting rain and strong winds. frown

    But, of course, now that many folk have had to go home, it's all change and today we've had blue skies, warm sunshine and just a gentle breeze. We drove down to Godrevy and walked the coast path to Hell's Mouth where we sat for a picnic ( sorry about spoiling the view for anyone trying to take a photograph there!) and then retraced our steps. The seals were out in force at Mutton Cove; there must have been almost 100 on the beach when we got back ( I stopped counting at 60 - they kept moving around putting me off!).

    Tonight it'll be up to Droskyn Point overlooking Perranporth beach for our traditional last night fish & chip supper. Then home for a week before setting off again on Tuesday "oop Nawth" in the tourer! It truly is relentless, being retired! wink
