Tried taxing the car today, and discovered some things I didn't know. For one, my MoT runs out on 31st October, and so I can't actually get the tax, since the MoT would have run out on the 1st November, when the new tax starts. Now, I'm sure I've done it before, but was assured by the lady at the Post Office that that would've been impossible. The second thing, as a result of my lack of a valid MoT, was the discovery that you can go get a MoT upto 4 weeks before it runs out. So I could've sorted it last week, and not, as I thought, have to wait 'til this coming week.
The end result of all this is bad tho'. I've £165 burning a hole in my pocket, and Nigel's local to go to tonight. Must remember NOT to spend it there!
