    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Had some great news, hubby will be getting all of the estimated tax that he paid back!
    It's from his first year of his photography business.
    so that's £400 we'll be getting back. :T

    Whoohoo fab news :j When will you get it?


    DH has a big meeting on monday, he's just finishing his 6 months probabtion (is that the word I'm looking for there) in his new job, they seem really happy with him so hope they keep him on, it's a bit of a :eek: situation if they don't tho...can see the weekend being a bit stressy.

    Did anyone else apply for the backdated tax credit thingy from 02/03? I've still not heard anything......

    Probably at the start of the new tax year, they'll want to hold onto it as long as possible to get the interest.

    I haven't heard anything RE the backdated tax thing either.
