I just tried to register with HMRC....

...but i couldnt! They took all my details and then asked for my address. They said the current one wasnt on their records. Before i moved in with OH i was a student and moved flat every year for 4 years!! Before that i was at college and lived at 2 addresses, before that i lived at home and my parents moved a total of about 4 times as i was growing up.

So i went through all my Edinburgh addresses and they wernt right i went through a coiuple more when the guy stopped me and said that was the right one. This was a house my parents lived in for 4 years when i was about 15!! And because i couldnt remember the postcode i couldnt register!

So they are sending the forms out for me and i need to find my very old postcode. Think il need to ask the parents it. Hope they remember!

Well, after 3 years of living here I decided to get myself on the electoral roll........ then get called for jury duty 4 weeks later!

No wonder I have been going incognito for so many years!
