    Hi,

    Has anyone claimed Maternity Allowance while self employed for MS'ing? As far as I can tell they dont need proof of income, I just have to be up to date with class 2 contributions. Anyone know if this is right and that it is paid at the full amount for 39 weeks?

    Thanks


    Yes, that is how it works! Have pm'd you.

    Do they have more pictures of the house you like?
    Do they know if the house is near a school/shops/bus route?
    How do you arrange a viewing?
    How much would it be to sell your home?
    Can they arrange a valuation or HIP pack for your home?
    Do they come and take the pictures if you want to sell?

    That's all I can think of so far!

    HIPS are no more.

    GRRRR -- not to be rude people... but I check my phone when the alert thread goes off, sometimes i drop what im doing and there is nothing more annoying then it being SPAM or someone saying Sh*t

    There is no need to comment who likes what on the alert thread... come here and say it.

    Sorry, I only reply if it's a few mins after the annoying post so it's less likely to drag people back a second time.

    People like that wouldn't look here to see the comments anyway.

    I did a job at the weekend - a toy store and have spent today going back and forward as the staff member was obviously disputing my version of events. See if they (the store staff) put as much effort into the detail of their job as they do nit picking at the report my life would be sooooo much easier!!

    Just emailed the transcript of the voice recording I made ;) I would have emailed the recording but you can hear me singing and talking random !!!! to myself as I'm waiting :o Didn't realise how much I hum along to songs until I started making recordings :rotfl:

    Haha yeh same here!

    It's a better idea to transcribe the conversation anyway, as there are a few legal issues if you were to send the voice recording to a third party without the staff members permission. Saying that the pure threat would probably make them back down!!
