Welcome news, HMRC have extended the tax return filing deadline to 28/2/22. However, given what a difficult year it has been, they probably could have announced it earlier. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/hmrc-gives-self-assessment-taxpayers-more-time-to-ease-covid-19-pressures

Chelsea's new striker, Tottenham Hotspur, scored a couple of cracking goals last night 😉 PS Don't forget to submit your tax return by 31/1/22.

I was lucky enough to attend a Q&A session by Lord Blunkett this week. He spoke with authority and common sense about matters affecting small businesses : https://youtu.be/8uldBNBccnc

I was lucky enough to attend the Leaders Council Gala this week at Mansion House. It was attended by some marvellous and inspirational people (including Lord Blunkett) - all working hard to help the country to recover from the pandemic.

Our website now has a topical news feed : https://www.sha1.co.uk/news/ Rather than me bombarding people with articles, just have a browse here when you need to 😄

Last week, I was lucky enough to have another chat with Elona Mortimer-Zhika, CEO of Iris (one of the biggest and best software houses for professionals). Interestingly, she was doing some market research herself, direct with customers, rather than delegating it, and getting slightly diluted results. This attention to detail is why Elona runs such a terrific company.

We will soon be fully reopen so if you’d like to come in for free tuition in either sport...or both! ...just contact me to arrange.🌞

I’m looking for a wheelchair to enable us to bring an elderly member, who has not left his home in Finchley Central since this whole pandemic started, to our FVBCC.com club. To fit into an estate car.
The Red Cross charges £70 for a day rental and although I don’t begrudge them a penny it’s rather a lot for a couple of hours. We would like to borrow, or rent, all COVID sanitation rules strictly adhered to, or would consider buying for the club.

Our greens are being prepared for reopening soon..,fancy trying either?
We will give you free tuition..all you need is a pair of flat shoes.
FVBCC is a very sociable club offering year round social activities once we return to normality. 🌞

Not terribly clever when the renewal month is wrong and the idiots can’t spell! 😡

Thank you to all the Beatrice supporters who donated a total of £290 this month. With extra thanks to those who donated extra £ towards the vet bill for Sagan. I will report his progress when I have update from Beatrice. 😻😻😻😻😻

Sagan was begging for food in N18 till someone felt sorry for him, gave him some food and took his picture they forwarded to me. He will come out of the vet in N8 tomorrow where he has been the last few days. He had his left eye removed as well as a few teeth. He got neutered and flea and worm treated and microchipped. He had blood and urine tests to check on his health. All is left now is to pay the vet bill and to find him a kind forever home tomorrow Monday as he cannot stay longer at the vet’s. He is about 3 or 4 years old. He deserved to be loved and spoiled and given the best quality food.

Sad to report 2 more missing friends of Luigi. I got this confused earlier.
Melissa is the scruffy gorgeous long hair. Alan the black and white. Please keep eyes open for all 3 who are very precious to Beatrice.

Luigi pictured on the left went missing from Southgate a few days ago. If you find him please PM me
