Thanks Mr Postman!

Not a great post day to receive a letter from Revenue & Customs and a reminder from DVLA for road tax. Now, I don't mind losing out on Child Benefit as a result of the last Budget as there are others who need it far more than us but I'm bemused by the way the government withdraw the payment. We have to either select to continue to receive the payment and be taxed on it for more than the amount of the payments themselves (via tax self assessment) or register to decline the payment. They actually try to make out its our choice not to receive the payment anymore, rather than them no longer paying it to us. Nothing is ever straight forward with public sector!

I realise my journal is full of bah humbug this week, but on a brighter note I managed to sleep off the migraine and had quite a good day apart from the mail delivery.
