I don't read any more. I don't know when I stopped. It's not that I don't have the time - I do. I have more free time than I care to think about and spend so much of it doing nothing (watching TV, internet, half-asleep).

I started to read Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment a while back but it's fallen by the wayside. Not that I wasn't enjoying it - I was really liking it even though it was hard work. Maybe I should set aside a half-hour or so in an evening and use that for reading. Might give that a try tomorrow evening...

Made it to the gym this morning - OK I only did some swimming but still, it's all good, right? Tomorrow I'm hoping to make it again. Guess I'd best get to bed then.

[EDIT: And I still haven't found my blasted P60... I swear it's got to be here somewhere! Where the hell did I put it?]

Who is your favorite superhero?
I don't have one. As a kid I thought that superheroes were lame :) I never really got into the whole superhero thing.

If you could have any superpower what would it be?
I have to be very cliched here and say invisibility. It'd be so cool to do be able to see what you want go where you want without questions.

What would your super outfit look like?
It'd hide my tummy and make me look like I had a 6-pack :)

What would your super villain/nemesis be like?
Uhhhmmmmm..... my nemesis would be "the stupid CSA" :)

What would your catch phrase/calling card be?
"Reboot and a Full Refresh"?
Yeah yeah, insider joke.
There's no-one who reads this that might understand it though, so it's actually an outsider joke...

More swimming. Attempted to spend time reading but necessities got in the way. There's still time and bed is the place to try it. Though this will mean going to bed before midnight for the first time in months (while not ill/tempted).

Organised tax return. Think I have it sorted, mostly. Have added up pay from payslips, added up tax from payslips and put these numbers into the website. Annoyingly it claims I owe about £11 tax. This is without even looking at my Self Employed income (a whole £40) in the tax year. Not sure why, so will try to harass someone tomorrow about this. Only confusion comes with PPP - I think this is already accounted for in my tax code...

On a side note about this, it took me at least 5 attempts and 4 different totals before I was satisfied I had the right numbers. It's complicated slightly by having two employers in the tax year and two sets of payslips, but not much. I don't quite understand how I was adding up the same figures and coming out with different answers so many times.

Have started saving Post Office savings stamps. As of tomorrow I will have a whole £10 towards my next lot of car tax. Hurrah, or something. I just need to get more post office jobs! Oh, another fiver as of the 25th, yeeha.

Yes I'm sad, bored and skint enough to start adding these things up :)
