    HUGS Pippi, you sound like you're really going through the mill at the mo, and I'm blowing raspberries at the stupid tax office, what idiots they are, makes my blood boil how 'little people' like us are hounded, yet those to whom the amount you owe is a drop in the ocean, get away with it.......

    Hope you'll get the letter you need for the tax people and that it won't affect your credit rating (much) having rejected loans on there.
  • hey up chaps

    KK thanks for the raspberries
    SFRD - thank you I used the link late last night and paid them £5 - I'll pay more but I wanted to make a start - got a letter drafted out today with a 'I'll pay £50 a month until I'm working more'

    Keiss tell me more about vectorisations and software.

    Hello to all

    Hope you're good

    In office today (presentation for next week to work on)

  • I have to own up I am loitering on my second coffe break of the morning. Doing my monthly planning which for some reason I feel less that enthusiastic about today.

    Glad you found the link ok pippi. (By the time you get a reply from hm*c you will have probably nearly paid it off:rotfl:)

    I have a couple of trays of small faced violas to plant and the call of the wild is too much for me so I think half an hour in the garden is in order after lunch. Also thinking of making a fruit loaf in the good old bm. Don't know about dinner I have loads of stuff in freezer so no excuse there. I have worked out that if I only spend extra money ie carboot (sunday if it is P**sistently raining again) ebay and cash that is in house) We could end up at least no worse off than at the beginning of the month:o

    Off to grapple behind bin think I put a bag full of beetroot behind there, I know the tops were going slimy but need to see if I can rescue the beets:eek:
    My finances are work in progress.
    Normal veiwing will resume shortly

    Eeeee up Petal. Think you need to write a letter to your MP, outlining the fact that you are offering to pay them and HOW DISGUSTING IT IS THAT THEY EXPECT YOU TO TAKE OUT A LOAN IN THIS CURRENT ECONOMIC CLIMATE. Sorry for shouting.

    I'm in for cake & cuppa thank LT,

    Pippi - so angry to hear about your tax dramas & I agree about you putting in a claim for what you are entitled to, I've had to seek help in the past & now that I can, I pay full rent & council tax, but I wouldn't hesitate to seek help if my circumstance were to change again ... interestingly, just watching Panodrama about cheats with yachts, pubs & second homes in France Grrrrrrr

    Hope you enjoy your weekend, glad you've had some funtime adventures.

    I really must ring HMRC, as I need to clarify things, not looking forward to that.
