Expensive year

No need to wait for tax years and what not, you can dispose of personal possessions with impunity, no tax owed.

Of course you and I know that, but EBay loves to send details to the taxman if you sell more than £1000 a year, whether it's a business or not. More importantly, from January to March, people are generally recovering from Christmas, and because my stuff is looked after well (aka stored well) I'd like to get the most I can - not that I'm ever going to be in profit (there's another thread on that, I believe).

They can send everything they want, you still don't owe tax!

There are certain elements of the regulatory world who love to get one over on you, rightly or wrongly.

So when you've been nicked for spending more than 30 seconds in the middle lane of the M69 by a vigilante with a dashcam who particularly didn't like BMW drivers, and who subsequently had to brake the law by speeding to overtake me, but didn't get done because he reported me, you realise the world is not a fair place, and that everyone is out to get you 

I track all my retail purchases and EBay (or other) sales for that very reason.
