Amazing news on the tax front. The phone call seems to have worked as I got a letter with my new/old tax code on it. My wages were also back to normal which is a big load off of my mind. It comes just in time to cover some extra expenses getting to work next week. I usually get a lift off of a work colleague but he is on holiday from today. Last week when I noticed the tax error I was expecting some especially tough times in the coming seven days. As it is getting the bus is still costly. More so than I think is reasonable but then again the company that runs the service has a monopoly on the route so they can set the price as they see fit. Of course they would argue that it is due to fuel cost and that there aren’t as many customers using that bus. Yet whenever I have used it over the years it has seemed well patronized by those that live and work up the Irvine Valley. Not much though that you can do about it other than pay or walk to work and it is a little far to walk. I know some would cycle to get there but it is too dark a road at this time of year at the time of morning that I would be travelling to work. Well that is my excuse which I will be sticking too, hehehe. I still have to look forward to some earlier rises so I can catch the bus on time. That is one of the things that make you grateful of getting a lift in the morning, that extra twenty minutes in bed. It is only for a week though so not that bad.
