    Thanks to the change in the tax allowance, I have put up our S&S ISA DD by £29/mth. £28.04 of that was down to tax, the extra £0.96 is all effort :rotfl:

    That takes us up to £209/mth and that's just down to the difference in my wages. Mrs E is still trying to figure out how much better off she is, will up in again then.

    I figure we won't miss it as we never had it before :beer:

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
