I did say don't, but it seems that Tube Geek has got his maths wrong, 675 is 9 Bells, which I am surprised at, as I claimed 16 Bells at 06:00, meaning there was 10 Bells excess, or I made a mistake!

No, as the amount of 'dead time' plus unclaimed time at the week comes to less than the ten bell 'excess' coming in as unclaimed time at the previous week.

It was an invalid claim, followed by a spoiler, which you lose 15 bells worth of points!

(Copied and pasted from the rules section)
If a player makes two or more spoiler posts in a row, then only the first spoiler will reset the clock. All consecutive spoilers by that player will be ignored and have no effect on the clock.

Invalid points claims are NOT counted as spoilers. Typos made when claiming for weeds or bells are counted as spoilers, so "40 weef", or "2 bellsd" are SPOILERS, and not invalid claims. Note that a "typo" refers to the mis-spelling of the non-numeric part of a claim. If a player accidentally types "30 weed" instead of "20 weed" when only 20 weed are available then it will be counted as an invalid claim.

There was an invalid claim first, so it doesn't reset, as there had already been a claim.

I am currently unable to post the scores as I have no WiFi after the lightening storm on Thursday night, and can only post on Mobile Data, so not the scores, which have to be done on my computer!
