Logged on to my joint account for the first time in over a year to see the wife has us paying a tv license after me declaring we had no need for one. Not happy.

Give my gas and electric meter readings earlier. Last done it in November. New online bill shows -£1,800 debit. Reckon my direct debit will be going up again. Yikes.

Good Lord. That's an insane amount per month. At least £600 per month, possibly more depending on when in November you last took the reading.

Our bill for gas and electric combined is less than £300 per month and we're not on a special fix tariff or anything. Are you in big / poorly insulated house? Have you checked to make sure your meter isn't faulty?

Panic over. I’ve rang them earlier and looks like I messed the reading up. Put a one instead of a seven. All sorted.

No, he's just managed to turn his ear inside out in his sleep! He's half Labrador and half pointer.

Bit easier to identify in this shot:

Trying to complete my self employed return for the first time.

Have used quickbooks so have all information there. But i work full time in the public sector, on the books for a university at only 16hrs per year, on the books for 1-1 support work at 4hrs per week. Then do my self employed work separately.

Have the return drafted online and from what i can make of it i am expected to pay the full amount i earned self employed back in tax, doesn't seem right so phone HRMC and they can't help unless i submit and said it can be amended again if needed.

Wish this was a bit more straightforward.

I got it sorted after hours on the phone waiting to speak to someone, 3 times i got through to HMRC advisors on the webchat and it took the 3rd person to understand what was happening, only because i explained it to them.

They were trying to add on 2 student loan payments to my tax bill based on my total income, disregarding that i pay my student loan through my main employer, even though that was in my return. So i should only be paying extra for student loan on the additonal income not the overall as most has already been accounted for.

So bill has been reduced and all sorted.

Bus windows are bloody filthy, like travelling in a police van (I imagine.)
