    Ouch, very eek! Wouldn't they accept £50? Seems a reasonable sum....

    Pippi, you'd never fit a full time job in all that lot! I bet you get glowing reports for DD tonight ...

  • Grr to not letting you pay £50 but good news on the tax, after all that messing about when you first phoned!

    I'm slow to get going today.. lots of cups of tea...

  • KC i think as I had 83 left in my budget after everything was accounted for (my rather eeksome budget) they said OK we'll take £83 - I did point out that left me with no contingency but hey ho - I was a bit conservative with my 'now' income figures and gave them my 'overall' income figures - we've gone through the tightest bit so it takes account my average annual income, but doesn't take into account I'll make the most of my annual in the next 3 months - it will be OK - but its tight!

    Red I know what you mean - I'm having to do blasts like Gilligan of 15 minutes to get going! And its bloody cold here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh thats cos I have my runners on not my runners AND my jeans, DOH.

    I'll move around more - that will help me get warm!

    blimey sounds like your day and list are going as fast as the wind up there. glad you got the tax office sorted but shame they didn't accept the £50 offer. I guess penguin chops can wait a bit longer, will do his constitution good to learn about waiting for things. Big news in the LT household :)
