Tickets, Money, Passport?

What a difference a few months make, after years of naysaying, the property market did crash, taking my plans with it. Add to that the council sending through their £4700 bill to be paid in full within 2 years (ie monthly installments) and Talk Talk threatening to charge me a call out of £140 for the privilege of them telling me I've broken my landline, when I haven't touched a thing and I suspect it's the bastards who are doing the major works in the block, that will result in a slapdash and invasive procedure that I don't even want, who have broken it.

Oops that sounded medical, I really mean they're replacing pipes, by not actually replacing them but by installing them on the interior walls of my flat. Which no doubt will actually look fabulous, adding even more to the value. Or not.

Still the weather has come good (I'm sunburnt for goodness sake) and my bike is looking a treat. Now if I can just learn to live within my means whilst supporting the council of course, I'll be in a bit of control.
