The Good, the Bad, and nothing Ugly.

I have a lot of marking waiting for me again. 45 practicals (3,000 words) and 75 essays (1,500 words) to mark before 9th January. Pretty do-able I think, but I stress that I don't actually *want* to do this marking.

Still, on the upside, I paid too much tax 2005/6 and I've just had a chunky repayment. Nice one. :-)

Start now... Knowing you it will get left and you'll spend a very stressed week after New Year doing it!

GF said...

How did you manage to pay too much tax?!?! Why does that never happen for me?

James said...

Are you saying I'm slack, Jase? ;-)

Lucky me was working for the university from hour to hour last year, and paying emergency tax for the honour, I think.

GF said...

Yeah if your tax code is something like XXX-1AA then you will have done...

...does that mean Sally is getting extra special Xmas presents this year then?

James said...

Might be. Might not be.

PS. She reads this. ;-)

GF said...

I'd go for no then.....then if she does, she'll get a nice surprise!!

Either that or say she is and then don't - it's still a surprise, just not a nice one!!....

OK, that's wicked I accept...

I'm sure James will select something from his La Senza account!

PS I am sure you aren't slack!

PPS The last time I qualified for a tax rebate I was a student! I used it to buy an ex-rental Large TV and VCR which sat in our living room for ages. Maggie still uses the TV!

That is fairly wicked, and he's likely to do it now! You should see what he did to my teacake. Evil, pure evil.
