Hope you feel better soon BOB. I saw Top Gear last night and thought of you... BOB :rotfl:

I am just watching it now:D:rotfl::rotfl: Well nearly finished.

You use Groupon stuff Squizz- are they any good?

Always been good when I've used it - mostly for restaurants and the occasional spa/ massage type thing. Have heard of the odd occasion where restaurants haven't honoured them (because they didn't count on so many people buying them) or restrict the number of Groupon people to so many per day/ night, but otherwise, all good!

That's good to know- i am waiting eagerly for the deal to end then i can pick a hotel- Tres exciting

I seem to be sorting a lot of things out as well and have just recouped about £76 owed me- so that has paid for the deal Whoo hooo

Well the quest for a few more truffles has become quite interesting.

My tax affairs are a tad complicated as i was a carer for quite a few years, but being the determined soul that i am, i also wanted to keep my skills and keep a small foot on the rung of work. Due to this it seems i am owed quite a bit of tax from previous years, but because i remained on agency books and had no P45 then i am unable to get at said tax-even though i have said i no longer work for them.

So i get in touch with agency and ask for P45- to be told- ah- bit of a problem, because you haven't worked in past tax year for us, and indeed haven't since 2006 then we can't issue one. Ok so what is the next step? I have told tax office and they said i need P45, i have told them- who said tax office can ring to confirm details- i have been on website which basically re directs me back to Tax office and a long wait before they answer to be told the same ( our local office has shut) so i am a bit stymied as to how i proceed.

I have got tax rebate for this year and pension refund sorted BTW- just need previous years sorting.

It is very problematic.

Well it seems this Tax adviser will just write to them- after all of that, and another half hour wait on the phone. Hopefully it will get sorted now and i will have all my tax from previous years that i have overpaid reimbursed. At least this will see me through for a while and even pay something off.

Phew amazing what one day off can get sorted...NEXT


So i can recommend everyone look at Martin's tax calculator.

I thought it was better getting money sorted than spending it

It has to be done, i will have a wait but it is there and will see me through September with any luck as that is traditionally a quiet month.:D

I am still fighting Tix Crudits and have not heard anything back from them as yet..at least i will have money sorted for them if nothing else.
