its tax time!!

i know this is really sad, but the FIRST thing i did these school holidays was make an appointment to see my accountant.


Getting my taxes done and getting the refund cheque in the mail was TOP PRIORITY!
only coz i need the money to pay back debts, credit cards, mortgage and other very not exciting things.

My accountant is a brilliant, brilliant man and somehow managed to squeeze every cent out of the tax return :). which gave me great joy!

my refund looked healthy enough to afford me a chanel handbag AND a major accessory!!
you couldn't wipe the silly grin off my face ... :o)

oh - it was happy days for me! fantasizing about the bags i could possibly afford (but had no intentions of buying because i still have debts to pay off) i could have a big chunk of it saved for the trip to sydney late this year and maybe splurge on something something? i could also pay a HUGE chunk out of my mortgage and make it look more decent.

until ...several days later .... another group certificate showed up in my mail box! this group cert was BAD news. BAD BAD news.... so i rang up my accountant and told him the extra figures which had to be adjusted - ARGH!!!! somehow i had managed to earn enough money to start paying HECS and my refund money does not look as healthy as it once did.

So now my refund is not the amazing chanel bag & accessory combo i once dreamed of...

my refund will not afford me an amazing chanel bag anymore - an accessory yes - handbag no.

i knew it was all too good to be true - at least i have paid a nice chunk out of my HECS debt which is disgustingly over 20k.

luv.clio

ps: mr s got a nice refund too - which could of bought me a new balenciaga - but he said "when hell freezes over". i guess my bag ban still stands.

(have not bought a designer bag since Jul'07)
