    Ha! Grandpa Pepe and Nana Sam......In da house :rotfl:

    anyhow...Sally not been a total mad thing today...sat down at work and did a whole days work imagine....:rotfl:

    Scaredy...yes JSA is taxable but they should have given you a P45 when you signed off (if you have signed off) and this should be passed on to new employers and it will works itself out in the PAYE system....

    What they mean is it counts towards any taxable income you earn BUT because its below the weekly 'free' tax threshold it isn't really taxable...comprende!

    in a nutshell....dinna worry....

    EDIT: unless you earn a fortune......:rotfl:

    That's good news. Have you got a nearer target or are you not going to tempt matters?

    Notty is a student again for the year - it's good to be back but I will have so much to do this year. Making an application to study again from next year too.

    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.
