    Aaargh don't you two leave me behind! I am listing books on Amazon as fast as I can.

    Seriously taxi I am really glad about your luck with the tax. As a self-employed person I know the ups and downs, huge tax bills in lean years have been the main cause of my debt. I've been earning well this year so expect a whopper of a bill next July. People who are taxed at source don't know how lucky they are.

    I'm half expecting you to do that and it would be lovely if you did...you're having your surge with the ski fund and new job...you'll soon overtake me...OliveOyl has still got a cunning plan...and it's top secret...with the ski fund and other payments you've probably paid more off than me...we are both doing great along with everyone else...it just makes a change to have some good news...we just need to savour it as it doesn't happen often...lol

    Thanks Duchy and Seaxwyn.....
    WOW..don't think I can do £10k by christmas...will give it a go...lol...
    Seaxwyn ...it's a killer those large tax bills and never a truer word said as they are the ones that I get when times are hardest...sometimes I wish I was taxed at source as the accounts are the bain of my life and like you they have seriously added to my debt total...and budgeting is very hard when SE...but on the other hand I love being SE as I have nobody to answer to...
    Sorry I was posting when you posted xx
