Managed to dive forward to faceplant on solid ground with the rest of me though, so no "stuck in the mud" drama, just cold, wet feet and legs (and about 3 miles still to walk before getting back to car!)

Dartmoor? In January? I love the Great Outdoors but there are limits!

Hope your shower does what it's supposed to and you have a nice warm end to the day. At least a thoroughly minging experience like this makes you appreciate creature comforts even more. (Voice of experience)

Fell in a bog on walk in the snow on Dartmoor today - now waiting for the water to warm up enough for me to shower to remove bog from my person, and then from my expensive walking boots (they're allowed to "leak" when the water comes in through the same hole as my feet).

Hoping the shower poltergeist will have the decency to grant me two warmish showers in 1 day, preferably without being near boiling - according to the plumber there should be "no" hot water with the boiler thermostat where it is, but it's 45/45/10 whether you get boiling, freezing or more or less ok, so new thermostat on order!

Worse thing was, the snow wasn't bad enough to be an excuse for misjudging my step over the bog - felt where I was putting my foot down, thought it felt "ok" then sunk to mid thigh on that food. Managed to dive forward to faceplant on solid ground with the rest of me though, so no "stuck in the mud" drama, just cold, wet feet and legs (and about 3 miles still to walk before getting back to car!)

Done that too - on the Isle of Skye in the Cuillin. End of a long day, few hundred yards to go, walking on the flat. What looked like a puddle was..... up to my left knee in ooze - I of course promptly face-planted into it. The bigger mess was made by pulling my foot out when the back-suction kicked in. In deepest sympathy, my friends laughed .... for a very long time. We were camping....

So glad Dartmoor is pretty local - got some funny looks in the carpark though, particularly returning from loos in high heeled boots and waterproof trousers, holding normal trousers, socks and walking boots! Dartmoor is my local dog walk! So up there a couple of times a week all year. No bog visits before, despite OH's best efforts Camping would not have been fun!

Don't want to go to work tomorrow - the worst thing is I know I'm being totally irrational, it cannot be as bad as the place I've just left, and in any case it's only a CRB form (!) that's making me feel this way, but I have this annoying habit of building things up to be loads worse than they actually are

One month after my mother's death I received a letter this weekend from the Council demanding money. They say we are liable for ?80.55 per week towards her nursing home care!!!!

We were told months before she died that the council paid part of the nursing home fee and her pension was used to make up the difference. At NO time did they say we would be liable for fees - in fact they said quite the opposite when they did a financial assessment

My Dad is quite upset, partly because the letter came to me (and I have no money) and partly because we were ASSURED all costs were met. Luckily he can afford to pay the demand if required... but it's still not a very nice surprise!

I'm about to write them a stinking email!

Yesterday I managed to trap two fingers on my left hand in a door just as I was leaving to go to an orchestra rehearsal!

The middle finger was alright but the first finger bruised and swelled spectacularly. Both fingers are now strapped together which means teaching's out for a few days...

Frustrating muddle from Just Flutes online ordering department. Four items, just under ?20 total, ordered 12 days ago. First part arrived following day (great) with one item out of stock and on back order, and one other item incomplete. Second invoice arrived 5 days later for the second bit of the incomplete item - but no goods, although payment debited for both. Several e-mails later, they have agreed to refund, but our stories don't tally, their stock bears out their version (as my stock does mine) and they clearly don't believe that I didn't receive in the first delivery what was listed.

Never again. It's cost far more in time and energy than it was worth.

ICK. Me and my friend were just enjoyin our weekly 'Tuesday drinks' down the pub when this 51 year old Alcoholic guy called 'Paul' came and sat with us, trying to chat us up, telling us he had 110 criminal convictions and telling my friend to watch her bag or he'd steal it and started asking stuff about us and kissed our hands, asked for money and if we had a flat etc

it was REALLY creepy! Thankfully my friend lied and said she needed the toilet and walked to the bar round the corner and reported him and the fierce pub manager and a big guy came and kicked him out! Apparently he'd already been barred for life from that pub! eep!

There seem to have been an awful lot of Unfortunate Events on here over the last few days.

To add to the list... nasty mouth infection problems, so no oboe (again!) over the weekend and emergency dentist visit yesterday. Came home at lunchtime today to find a flood - from upstairs bathroom down to kitchen (ceiling now falling apart) and dining area. Just what I need when trying to get sorted out for job interview (this week) and conference presentation (next week).

I don't exactly have a filing system for receipts but I do have one large enveloppe with the year written on it and everytime I get a receipt (or something which can be used for my tax) I just shove it in the enveloppe. At the end of the financial year I tip the enveloppe out and sort everything that is in it.

Same for me - I always seem to underestimate the things I claim for because I'm so worried about underpaying accidentally. And I always end up doing it at the very last minute, usually coinciding with a computer crisis which means a big panic.

This year I plan to do it as soon as possible, in April. (

Ah, but there's an advantage to doing it at the last minute - it means they're less likely to scrutinise it in minute detail because there are so many people leaving it til the last moment they're inundated. Whereas if you did it in April you'd stick out like a sore thumb and the IR would be round to examine your paperwork!

So the solution is to do all the work in April and leave it til January to file.
