Pumpkin soup

"Do you take pumpkin soup?"

"How is it like? Is it in chunks or is it the mashy type?"

This conversation totally shows that I have never even seen pumpkin soup before, not even to say, whether I take it or not.



Anyway, I tried Uncle Victor's pumpkin soup (cos it's almost Halloween) and surprisingly, it turned out to be quite unlike what I had in mind, and more like cheese-flavoured creamy soup.

On another note, I can't believe my eyes when I got my pay slip yesterday. Bloody hell, I got taxed like what...a whole 22% off my pay!!! I'm not earning much already, and the government is taxing me 22%???!? (And that's still considered the basic rate...*&^%$#)

I can do a lot of things with that 22% pay, you know...

*heart pain*

So I marched right into the Jobshop today demanding to know what happened...when I found out that I'd have to CONVINCE the Tax Office by giving them loads of proof and explanation that I earn less than the tax allowance (I'm prepared to do that to get my 22% back...so what?). BUT...I would still have to sign for a particular declaration to confirm that and to say that I will not work again during this tax year (and that's until the 6th of April next year).

OK...so this means I can't claim my tax back right now, unless I don't plan to work or just plan to earn less than £5225 until then.

*sigh*

And to make things worse...I still went for retail therapy.

Hey, I'm just earning 22% less...it doesn't mean that I'm not getting anything at all. I just need a bit of motivation at this point. :)
