How about I take your tat and:Only work in California for a couple of weeks at a time.
Took a perm job as they matched my contract take home and added some shares.
Had paid off my house and had cash in the bank, so used my new salary to buy a ******* big house with a view that my shares will pay it off in the next four years if I dont get fired!!!
Now too busy to sell tat, but have loads if you want some.
I feel your pain with the council tax, MF. Mine is £2435 p.a.
