Well that's bizarre. You get 6 months after probate where you don't have to pay council tax. Have just received the bill for mother's flat (£1500 a year for a 1 bed flat!!) Googled discounts - if one person is living there, you get 25% discount. If no-one is living there you don't get a discount. In fact, if it remains empty for 2 years, they charge 150% of council tax! I suppose it's to discourage people having empty properties - but being a retirement flat with stupid regulations I can't just move ms#3 in and be done with it. Have just dropped the selling price, but there is bugger all interest... Tis a year this weekend, so I do need to get it finished with.Comment

Am waiting for the tulipstorm to start on the project of Doom.
Well when I say start, this is just another one in the long line of storms that have plagued this from day one.
This time it's the IT team who seem to have no idea how you sign off requirements. Normal steps should be high level signed off by business, then passed onto tech team to break down to detailed and then architect will sign off on those and off we go.
I can't wait for this project to get canned, which it will in the next month or so.
In the meantime, keep calm and carry on invoicing.Comment

Then it's up to you whether you bother to pay it or not, since it won't be in your nameComment
