    I just received a letter from my bank notifying me that I had earned £24 in interest last year and was TAXED £4 and if I want to claim it back I should do so in my tax return. !!!!!!, so you get taxed on your earnings, your savings and now the interest on your earning as well! Outrageous. Why do they tax me on it if I can claim it back???

    cos you can't claim it back! YOu earn too much! You earn, you get taxed, you save, you get taxed, you get a pension, you get taxed.....you breathe, you get taxed...the only people who don't pay tax are the super rich who take out tax avoidence schemes to avoid paying tax...but they pay soooper accountants lots of money for doing it...

    I am not OCD at all, I hang my trousers by the legs...otherwise the waist band stays damp.

    Maz, unless you are hard faced get some tissues ready when watching biggest loser......i blubbed...and blubbed......so sad....

    UK biggest loser, so done on the cheap, I can actually hardly bear to watch it its so embarressing....

    I am coming to Dorchester but have decided I probably won't stay but not sure...is there room at your inn do you think on the sunday night for me and Dora? suppose its worth finding out..:confused:
