@HMRCcustomers Thank you! This is finally helpful

@MippisMapa If our Digital Assistant isn’t able to help, you can request to speak to an Adviser. You’ll then be placed in a queue when one becomes available. If no adviser is available immediately, the screen will display a message confirming this. 1/2

@HMRCcustomers I desperately need to speak to a human being but the phone lines say no one is available. Your digital chat not is worse than useless. Who can help me please?

@HMRCcustomers I literally just told you the chat bots are worse than useless. Are you a bot as well?

@MippisMapa I'm sorry you've not been able to get through. We're open until 6pm if you'd like to try calling again later. You may also prefer to speak with one of our Webchat advisers when they're available. tax.service.gov.uk/ask-hmrc/chat/… 1/2

@HMRCcustomers Can you give me a number to call then please? I keep getting a message that 0300 200 3310 is not available at all

@HMRCcustomers My self assessment. I have numerous health conditions. I’m beyond late, & my anxiety is off the charts. Also, my student kid needs an income statement or my HRMC a/c screenshots which I can’t get bec it says my gateway doesn’t exist. My kid needs funding.

@MippisMapa Hi Ren, I'm sorry for the trouble you've had trying to get through. Could you confirm what you need our advisers to help you with? Martin

@StephenMal Thank you for a first class gig tonight at the SWG3. An extra thank you for playing a Scottish city! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Can't wait for Barrowlands.

Prepping the year’s first rhubarb crop makes me feel very domestic 😊

Filled with a weird kind of melancholy today which is probably mostly due to tossing and turning all night. I want a nap, and something savoury to eat, not necessarily in that order, but I don’t know *what* to eat. Gah.

@Stellabranch I’d be sad as well as happy for them. It’s hardly round the corner.

Have just signed a letter to confirm that DS is planning to get married and move to the States. Whilst I'm happy and excited for the pair, I can't help but be a bit sad that we won't see them often. Understandable, no?

@Bluebells048 They are at this point. Quite definitely. Tbh, the action is pretty decent, so I’m rolling with the changing eye colour.

@MippisMapa Are we sure they are human 🤔

Starts a new book. “His brilliant green eyes”. A few pages along: “His dark brown gaze”. Which is it then, and why did your editor and/or proofreader not pick this up??? #AmReading

@Bluebells048 😆. It got worse. They THEN changed to green with dark brown in. Like, um, how? This is not how human eyes work.

@MippisMapa Contact lenses 🤔😂

@Bluebells048 It was 0C & snowing when I got back from the shops. It will drop more overnight. That’s me inside until Monday unless circumstances change 😁. Best of luck with the return to work! I wfm, which makes my life much simpler than it would otherwise be.

@MippisMapa Pre-prepping for back to work next week 🥶 I’m sure it’s lots of degrees colder where you are, wrap up and stay warm ☀️

Today I need to resume some kind of normality after the weirdness that is the twixmas period. Sadly, this means probably leaving the house, brrr.

@Bluebells048 Welp, that was early! I don’t blame you: I’d be hunkering down too.

@MippisMapa I left the house briefly at 7:55 for a trip to the train station. Home now, won’t be doing that again today 😂

Home made macaroni cheese is absolutely worth the effort involved in making it. So full!

Hope everyone is OK Love & hugs 🤗 DMs open if needed x

We actually have sunshine today! I’m making the most of it because the whole of Scotland is under a yellow weather warning for the entire weekend 😕

Still hoping to find more of you on bluesky. Hmu if you’ve made the move and would like a follow.
