Becstarr : Tax Pack Rat

I am just back form the post office, having sent in my tax returns for 2004, 5, 6, 7, and 8. It feels absolutely fantastic and when I sat down to it, it only actually took me one weekend. I can't believe everyone was right when they told me just to start it and it wouldn't be that hard. Why is it so hard to take advice sometimes? I guess I just need to be open to trying things.

Anyway, thankyou to everyone who has, over the last few years, encouraged me to get on top of this. And a special thanks to Mr McCulloch, whose scoffing on Sunday morning (when I "just" had to find my group certificates in order to lodge) spurred me on to the final burst of paper-chasing. :)

I may even get the stimulus bonus. The milky bars are on me!

Have started doing my tax for this year, and one thing you can do now is get the etax software to pull all your bank account interests and pay details off the net. Efficient ... yet also a bit spooky.
