@B3, you are recommended to keep all financial records for at least 6 years. This is the latest the tax man can come after you for any unpaid tax. Unless you have the records to prove it, you are up the proverbial. Shredded paper makes excellent fodder for the compost bin.
Too late. I think I've done bank statements for 2018 too . Always paye so unlikely I'll be of interest and I've kept p60s etc. Ancient utility bills can be of interest to no one. Don't look at old council tax bills, it will only upset you. If they send me to prison, I hope someone will look after my garden.
So sad to see a neglected garden when someone dies or can not longer look after it or even worse when the new owners grub until for low maintenance.
Second jab all done. I now have a 95% protection against death apparently. Sadly they don't tell you what the 5% risk is. It's like the world's most useless superpower. Be almost immortal but you don't know what will kill you until it's happened. Impervious to bullets? Got to fatally shoot yourself to find out. Typical NHS
There was also a sign in the 'wait to see if the jab will kill you within 15 minutes' area that asked people to turn their chair 'a quarter angle' when they left so the staff knew which ones to sanitise. Most people didn't read it since they immediately got their phones out as soon as they sat down but trying to figure out why they decided to phrase it as a quarter angle kept me occupied for the full 15 minutes.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I’m wondering why people feel the need to shred or soak papers before putting them in the compost bin. Would you expect a thief in the night to rake around in the compost bin and find something important.

I never did that rites of passage where you burn all your study notes after exams. I’ve kept some examples of my studies, I don’t know why but anyway this year is the first year I shared putting some in my compost bin. Feels good. Need to keep doing it. Let go of the past.

It makes it easier to mix the material in if it's shredded or at least torn up into smaller bits. You can end up with soggy paper lumps otherwise. Scrunching paper into balls works well though as it's supposed to make air pockets and helps dry out a soggy heap. Not so great if you have a lot of paperwork to deal with though so shredding is probably the best way to go with that, unless you're able to burn it instead and compost the ash.

Any more rain and I won't need to know😯
