I then totted it all up at the end of the month as part of my monthly expenses. The book will get shredded when seven years have passed from the final entry.
      FTFY.

      I think we have spreadsheets &/or other more advanced ways of recording mileage nowadays...
      Clarity is everything

        How do you get the number of miles driven from your odometer to your spreadsheet? I didn't realise that computing technology at the turn of the 20th century was so advanced.

            OCR. Before automation, your driver would undertake the task by methods unknown.

              You know you are allowed to estimate the number for miles driven don't you?

                    And dont forget, mileage is claimable upto 2 years only subject to the usual (well known) conditions unless you change the geographical location you travel to.

                      Nope. I suspect you've got it right in your head but put it down badly. Just checking.
