Momentous half day
In the last twelve hours or so, stuff of import has come to light.
-Brother asked last night whether I would like to be an Auntie? Yes, sister-in-law is in the family way. Woo-ho! how excitement. Apparently she has been beside herself with worry that it would not go well. They had the first scan yesterday, thus they are willing to tell. Yay. I foolishly forgot to ask if he had told Mama yet. So I have to avoid talking to her until I know. If she doesn't know, someone would be in trouble whether I say anything about it or not. If bub is born when due, twill share a birthday with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
tenbears.
-I got a letter claiming that I owe the tax department over 2grand and they have begun proceedings with a credit company to get the money. This is a worry because I have paid last year's tax and have no idea what this is about. They say "activity statement debt", that sounds like a business thing to me? weird. I can't call them until Monday so I shall try to to stress about it now.
-Brother has also announced that the only time they can spend more than a weekend with me on this trip is while the current plan has me in England. Doh. Maybe there is a reason I have not organised train tickets etc ? I think I am about to try to rearrange my plans- would mean missing R+J, sad. Need to write to lots of people, well three lots.
-I just pruned the roses. I even used the pruning saw given to me by two lovely people who I don't see often enough. Cut away some of the old wood to reshape and hopefully rejuvenate them. It was rather fun, I like the snippity snip.
now my back needs a rest which I am struggling to give it. Want to do stuff.

With regard to the letter about the tax thing, I'd be asking the tax department about that because it sounds a bit dodgy. I've never heard of the tax department using a third party to collect debts and I'd be asking for a lot of documentation before I handed over any money if I were you.
