Yes I have to hold up my hands and admit that filing a tax return is not a life changing experience. Furthermore I am fortunate to have had money to spend in the first place so I have no right to be annoyed. Also if I had been more organized, it would be easy to do my accounts, so it's my bad times three.
Today I will try not to moan about all my sh*t and see my positives.
Yesterday I cut the grass -it looks nice. Also yesterday my daughter tidied her room which was amazing. A bolt out the blue. I think I finally broke down her defences by telling her she couldn't go swimming until she had at least started it. At first there was the sound of wailing, door banging and gnashing of teeth coming from her room. I just left her to it and then, as if by some miracle, the next time I went upstairs it was tidy.
She did get to go swimming in the end, and as a bonus, had a friend to stay over. I think that's why she's still in bed. They were up late talking- It may have been about sponsering a dog for a pound a week since that's what she talks to me about at the moment.
Today I'm going to try and organize my hard drive. I know it's not very exciting but my i Book has to go back to Apple to have a fault diagnosis done and I must back every thing up so I may not post anything for a week or so.
Then I might go strawberry picking or go to the park to play footie with the kids. I'll probably end up pushing them on the swings- they don't really like football that much, it's really me who wants to play.

G'day Rob,
I say keep on your daughter about her room. She'll hate you for it, but my parents were random hard-asses about my room and I am still untidy to this day. In 1996, my dad said he'd buy me a brand new computer if I cleaned my room by the end of the month, it had gotten so bad. But I took about 3 weeks to start and he was so digusted that I didn't jump at the offer, he withdrew it. I think it was bad to bribe me. I was 18 and I think the time for lessons had passed. Best of luck with the little lady, but it may be her destiny to be a slob.
