Oh Granny,that is the rudest banana ever, its only 7am but I laughed so much when I saw him !! Must rush over to PLBL now just to check out her dancing bananas !!

Piq, someone was asking you about your Pr*t boss.Looks like theres many who still think there is something in the air with you & him, or its just good fun to wind you up about it ! Maybe he thinks bananas are an aphrodisiac , hence the payment in bananas and then he could have his wicked way !!! :rotfl:

I had a lovely Chicken and Mango recipe from years ago i used to make all the time that I can try and dig out for you if you happen to find yourself with more Mangos !

Have a good day today ! x

Hi Piq

Glad to see that you are getting a small amount of mortgage interest paid - the calculation for it is very random and I don't always fully understand it, luckily I have made a brilliant acquaintance who works in that department so if I don't understand something I ring her :rotfl:

It will likely be to do with the fact that not all the mortgage is covered as the mortgage insurance you get will be counted towards the endowment part which JC+ won't cover - luckily they are quite reasonable and if you get insurance they only count it once they have deducted off as much as possible.

When you said Pret had offered you more hours - I wonder how much more?
If it was only a few then I think you have made the right decision but if it would have taken you over 30 hours it might have been worth it as you can claim Working Tax Credit.

Woo hoo to being awarded Council Tax Benefit - at my council they award CTB and you get two letters on the same day, one is the calculation and one is the revised bill.
If you haven't done the bill it is probably because they are behind on letters - think you should chase it up.

If you are on JSA then you won't have to pay any Council Tax for that period so check the dates on the letter.
Now that you are working and you will earn too much to get JSA you will need to take your wage slips down and CTB will be assessed on wages instead which means you will have to pay more Council Tax.

Hi Piq :wave:
I usually post on Pippi's thread. Loving lurking on your thread.
I saw your request for banana recipes so I asked my 'jam guru' about making jam from bananas and she suggested banana chutney.
can't say I've ever made or tried it, but in for a penny eh? plus you mentioned you were making mango chutney so I'm guessing you like curry.

Oh - a little romance budding, presents of bananas, apples and mangoes, perhaps he is envisaging a shared fruit salad?????
Come back Piq and tell us more!

Love the Einstein/slug story and what a nice vet with a good sense of humour.

Yum to left over mangoes - one of my fave fruits. Hope you are having a good day, freezing cold here, got my thick jumper on not July weather at all.

Here is another one for you, but I think he's got at the wine I left you so you'd better put a lock on your wine rack with all his buddies around
