    Morning folks

    Valli have a read of this, it is from the HMRC web site, re vat changes, about half way down it says:- are there any special rules for sales spanning the changes of rate? http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/pbr2008/vat-guide-sum.pdf

    I hope it helps.But basically they have a choice if they alter the rate or not, here at work for vat registered customers we are leaving things alone, for non reg vat customers we are changing the rate and issuing credit notes, so I rang them all yesterday and gave them the good news!!

    Hearing aid sorted, bit arrive in the post. Thanks for all your thoughts.

    I work all year, continuous, and have 3 weeks off end Dec to early Jan only, I am ready for my hols, this year, what with the death of my mother and other stuff, I am tired and ready for a break, it is my one luxury per year I allow myself, my plane flight, I then live very cheaply when I get there and go MS all the time, and guess which bluddy airport I am going in to...........they have 11 days to sort it, there is a 2nd airport but the 'protestors or who ever they are' have now taken that over. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Polkadot thank you for sharing your thoughts etc, I hope the cookie party goes ok.

    I'm all clean :D took some extra time, emptied wm and got it on the airers, some in the TD, have also reloaded wm with cloths I'd had soaking and DPs shirt. I keep trying to get him some more for work, he only has 2 so it's a chase to get them clean when we don't use many white clothes, but haven't been able to get more with short sleeves in his size yet, all long sleeves this time of year and he hates long sleeved shirts. I even looked on Asda online (he likes the cheap George ones, so do I as they are only £4 each) but none there either :(

    Been looking at the Chrimbingo thing on Quidco, they seem to have changed it now so it has to be in a row, definately prefered last years competition!

    Beccah, either don't tell them or say no :p unless of course there is another motive, that it's an excuse for you to go and have a nosey (which is why I do it :p ) actually I use it a LOT less than I thought I would.

    Right, next, work out how to use the new vax and do the rug...........I may be some time..........
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
