Nasty and nice!

Had a nasty shock today.... a letter from the taxman telling me I hadn't submitted my tax form and was fined £100. Now as far as I was concerned I'd paid it and had proof. I'd opted this year to file online as up until now I'd always done it on paper, but here's the thing. My assessment hadn't been submitted even though I had a submission reference number I hadn't had confirmation so technically it hadn't been filed. Let me ask you this Mr Taxman "If I hadn't submitted my form how would I have known what I needed to pay and why would I have gone the very same day and paid it?" ....and yes you did receive it because when I phoned you up you told me that I had paid it but I was being fined because I hadn't submitted my tax return. Which takes me back to the start.....as far as I was concerned I'd got a submission reference....
Sorry for the rant, I've had a headache all day.
Here's the nice bit. Look at these jolly little socks I bought for a soon to arrive babe and also this lovely little denim pinafore dress I found it is an Escada dress, real quality, imagine finding it in a charity shop.

Crackers!!

Think I'm a bit Christmas crackers, and definately ready for a break. I have had a really horrible cold and felt a bit spaced out, but in true shopping spirit we traipsed off to Bristol yesterday followed by a jaunt through to Nottingham today where I bought these nice Christmas crackers.
I had intended to make my own inspired by this lovely link , but hey there's always next year!!
I am going to add some extra goodies in them but will have to show you tomorrow as I forgot to charge my camera up.
