Shoes that you only wear while listening to gay dance music???

Slippers???

Fuck if I know what you Jocks call 'em!!!

them slippers are shite jeff!! the ones i got have backs on them.i hate the ones without with only 3 sides,they slip off too easy

those slippers are a con job. yer feet don't even go in them ones properly. i've never made it to the bathroom with them on yet.

they're basically "sit still & don't move yer feet" slippers.

Wooly flip-flops for Lapland..

What about those 'one boot' slippers that used to get advertised in Sunday supplements for OAP's. Yes proper cosy, until Grandma wants to go and make a cuppa, and she has to hop!!!

apple tv - not sure what to do with it yet though!

Give it to your teacher

You too? I feel your pain. :(

I knew it was coming, but I budgeted for a substantial smaller amount as last year's bill was half of that. What happened there?

Mine was due on Christmas Eve, but I paid it three days late. Unfortunately I didn't shred it.

Until next pay. I have only a third of my usual cash to play with. Shit I've been known to blow/invest more than that on one visit to a record shop. Luckily I don't have to buy anything and my fridge and pantry are full. Yeh and I'm not going away these holidays. Thanks Mr Taxman. Well that's not too bad. I'm finally getting around to doing some long needed jobs around the house and garden and getting a good tan as well. :)

I'm getting a bit sick of eating turkey and ham though.

There's an upside though. The girl at the post office where I paid it is looking at me with different eyes, as she knows the tax office doesn't do credit and that I must have some assets.

Yeh yeh, whinge whinge. Only bad capitalist bastards like me pay tax. It sucks though. It's not like I get to see any of my nest egg anyways.

Just when and how did that happen??

WTF? What is "sarcasm"? Sending this kind of thing in Christmas time is completly unnapropriate. Don`t tell me they draw a Santa and wished Merry Christmas

No, it is all true and they didn't even send me a Christmas Card. :( In a way it is my fault for submitting my tax return on the last day, as I knew there would be a bill (why give them money any earlier than you have to), but I didn't expect such a huge bill.

I have already taken steps so this won't happen again next year.
