The missus cannot get a Government Gateway check as she doesn't have any of the ID they demand. So she is unable to tell them that she was getting Child Benefit and Carers Allowance and therefore had NI stamps.

I'm sure there are other ways Tâf

They have a very specific list. My brother's partner was in the same boat until she actually took every document she had to the local HMRC offices. They eventually accepted her old passport, but was told that would never happen again due to government rules being tightened.

UK or international passport
UK photocard driving licence (including provisional licences)
UK biometric residence permit
UK biometric residence card
UK frontier worker permit
Payslips or P60
Self Assessment
Tax credits (optional Voice ID)
Credit record


I was woken just after 8 be a young kid riding back and forth on his bike shouting "GAME ON!" over and over. But I just realised it's actually his name "Damon".

OK

Something woke me around 4am, and it took a while to drop off again.

I'm melting.....

That was a very sweaty night, and when I did get to sleep, noise outside woke me again. Kids were out playing just after 7am.

Bin lorry 1 of 5 was here at 7:30. The squealing compactor to wake us all up.

The humidity has soared.

The contract electrician turned up with 4 rose-and-pendant light fittings, wanting to replace 4 that I modified to enclosed globes with LED daylight bulbs. NOPE.

He also wanted to fit a 4ft warm white LED lamp to the kitchen, when Daylight was specified, and it should have been a 5ft one to replace what we already have. NOPE. He can't get a daylight one, so gave me the email and phone number of a charity

He was tasked with replacing the back box of a double socket as the nuts for the screws fell out 23 years ago. He just squirted some Fire Retardant paste around 2 rawlplugs he jammed in there instead. "That'll take a few hours to harden, just screw it all together tomorrow".
 
He bought an LED lamp for the bathroom, very old stock by the look of the case. NOPE.

He fitted the shower I bought ages ago, but has left a hole in the ceiling as he had no mastic.

The shower instruction booklet vanished.

But at least the cooker switch and socket went in with no problems.

And did you know that 60% of taxes from the USA go to King Charles? And covid vaccines killed 70 million people?

I'm melting.....

Even worse this morning.

Hot, hot, hot
