If you EVER come across a software that does what you want it do, let me know. I’m of your school of thought completely, and I haven’t found a software that can let me categorize and tag purchases and split store visits into different categories with the level of detail I’d like. I want to know how much I spent on eggs and milk and even know which brands I bought from.

I think is unfair to pay tv licence for people which watch foreign channels only. I mean satellite dish etc…

A taxi from Tallinn airport to the city is the only place I’ve ever (to my knowledge) been ripped off by a taxi :-) I should have smelt a rat when he asked if it was my first time in Estonia, and a bigger one when the price was 5 times what I vaguely remembered reading it would be. But it was a reasonable price for the UK, so I didn’t catch on quickly enough – if I had I would have asked for a receipt!

@Nick (check-in) I cannot believe your attitude and mindboggling arrogance. "Please let’s remember if the staff look at you as if you’re an idiot it’s probably because you are". Has it ever occurred to you that working in airline check-in might give you a better understanding of the ambiguous wording of your company's booking information. Being able to think beyond the blithering obvious is something only intelligent people do and when you have ambiguity it is more confusing to intelligent people in fact as they can see the alternative meanings. I'm afraid your reply simply makes you look like one of the "idiots" you seem to despise and treat with contempt.

firstly damien if you are watchin any uk tv station you have to pay for licence so blocking out bbc if possible makes no differance [if its live tv you are watching] however if you only watch caqtch up services on tv or internet or phone and nothing live then no licence is needed also if just using tv to watch dvd video or bluray no licence required

i updated tv licensing with my situation in august renewal time they sent me a non license so to speak they say they may do a visual check and then send a letter again in 2 yr time

but i askede many questions before i did there form for not paying and all came back as not needing a licence thoughg to be safe i told them yuers i have 3 freeview tvs but all 3 i have deleted all c hannels in them and taken off all cables

they said makes no differance as long as you dont watch anyting live then thats good enough for them
