    oooh thank you poolie I didn't realise. Would be good if they sent you the april statement in april though! I will never pay mine back though I don't think so I guess I am resigned to it and it doesn't really matter how much I owe right now.

    See the problem is tax year finishes in April. Your employer than has 2 to 3 months to submit the P14 electronically. HMRC receive the information along with the £ then do some error checking. Once this completes, the electronic file is past to SLC who then apply the file when they have the necessary processing slot. They are unable to load too many files in 1 month otherwise the system cannot cope. At the end of the month the interest is recalculated and then around the 4th the statement is generated. Print room print these when they get a chance and do error checking before finally send them out. This is why you cannot have a statement in april

    How did the Shred go, Tink?

    It was tough! I don't know how you're meant to do it but I did the level one 20 minute thing and it was pretty tough but I definitely felt it! I am also very inspired by your blog! I can't really diet becase I'm no good at that sort of thing and it's lead to problems before so exersize is definitely the best way for me! - Am i supposed to do the level 1 every day for 30 days and then level 2 for 30 days or how does it work!?!

    NIM - thank you for your pm OH is looking forward to joining some sites now I think when you send the refs. If you don't have time just tell me the ones you don't get paid for and he can start the sign up processes for them without you missing out.

    Dinah and NIM - do you still do MB?

    It sounds like everyone has had lovely and relaxing weekends (apart from you tete - what's been going on?) and so have I :) :j

    I think I had a maths fail somewhere, this first month on the graph isn't as steep as every other month... and when I put the numbers in we weren't paying off till September 5th rather than 3rd. I am far too rushed/tired to redo it all though.

  • Morning! Well done on the ebaying, that'll bring in a good chunk in a few days' time! LOVING the graph and chart - first things I saw when I logged in and I did a sort of 'OoooOOOoooohhhh!' that's normally only reserved for firework displays.

    Nice shortish list tho I'm sure you'll be adding to it - best to start off short though!

    Little progress report from me:

    Tete - October
    - Lose 5lbs - 2.5lbs to go (I'm now at my previous lowest MFP weight)
    - Bring packed lunch for 16 remaining work days -
    (6/16) and with another 7 lots of soup in the freezer, shouldn't be a problem
    - Get to payday without dipping into my savings account - on track to manage this tho I want to get my coat this week :undecided
    - Finish crocheting 2 baby blankets (currently at about 40% and 7% finished) - now about 60% and 7%
    - Get my 5k PB under 35 minutes (current 35.04) - 35.30 this week and can't go on Saturday so only one more week to attempt this!


    How's everyone else doing? Are you feeling any better this morning Cinny?

    Also I echo Tink, anyone still do MB?
