[Closed] No poll tax February.

I was at the London Poll tax march, anyone else?

Being a good boy I didn't get involved in any fisticuffs.

And good to see Somafunk's hobby spend explained, I am jealous, but I earn his wage net and have a mortgage 10 x my gross salary! (And lodgers)

A few bottles of Le Salette Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2011

I always use it to catch up with the lies I've been telling the gas and leccy meter app...

I was on the poll tax march, listened to the speakers at trafalgar Sq for a it - got bored with it and headed off, as we were leving we saw police vans with fully tooled up riot police rushing out....... I remember wondering why at the time, as I hadn't seen any trouble at all.

£195 a month for us in our pockets. So VED for our focus at £290 next month , so that's in theory £95 in credit, but its house insurance renewal, which is £40 ish/ month. And I am sure the latest wife will find a way to burn the rest as a wine fund......... So, nothing to show as usual.

It's ok. Managed to rack up three parking tickets in the last two weeks so local council are still getting their money from me...

Will have a grand total of £154 to splurge on something from the next two 'free' months 😀

A new F/F lid and a service for the rear shock is planned. Might have £3 left to have a blow-out with an Asda's pizza and a can of Pepsi

Unlike this bitter and angry chap.

The one who was laughing?
😆

I'll give you your first lesson free, just to show there is no malice.
😀

Peace out.

Don't forget , spend your poll tax on bike goodies!

It just takes the edge off the £1200 car insurance bill in January!

Car insurance will be covered, again. Woo. Hoo.

I do the same as Soma and pay it in a oner - being self employed and having no regular monthly income makes you allergic to any kind of monthly outgoing.

However back in my salaried days I used to be paid every 4 weeks, not every calendar month - so in effect paid 13 times a year. It meant once a year I got a pay packet with no monthly bills to take off it. That bill-free pay-packet landed in June for me so instead of council tax, rent and gas / electric I'd go to the art school degree shows and spend it on art.

I'll be buying another one of these..

What the hell is poll tax!

Not got any special plans for the "free" months money. We've got plenty to be doing round the house so it'll soon vanish.

we can pay ours over 10 months or 12 months, so do it over 12

What the hell is poll tax!

it's a special tax which pays for all those polls every time an election comes round....

Sheesh, I only posted up there for VED on the focus 6 posts ago, 11 months has past. Bloody things due again next month....... but just sent £115 to Poland for a DT Swiss rear hub this month, as don't want any of that shoddy Hope stuff on my bike.......

Deposit for Centre Parcs (one of the French ones) for the Kids the Wife and I.

Les Arcs with my mates bought and paid for 🙂

£256 @ month £512 quid rich beyond my wildest dreams - but the washing machines knackred ho hum

It nearly covered the cost of my natty new wellies.

depressingly mine goes into the communual account so its going on blinds.

what i really need is some new forks and a jolly somewhere steep and rocky

Had to replace the washing machine 2 weeks ago

Got to replace the fridge this week.

A couple of nights @ Peebles Hydro at easter with my 2 ladies. First time in 16 years the two of us have had 'normal' enough jobs to have easter weekend off together. 😀

^^^^ and a few sneaky rides round GT as well I bet 🙂

Nadda, pay a fixed amount in a joint account each month, so that'll just look a few £££ healthier.

Having the wooden floor sanded and varnished* though which will dwarf the "free" council tax.

*it's a nice floor, but how is it more expensive to maintain it than to have it ripped out and laminate put down?

BONUS - I'd clean forgot about this!

Would go towards one of the credit card bills Mrs North has run up for me, but I suspect she'll have accidentally spent out of the joint account again leaving it overdrawn (again).

I think women must eat money....
