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:

Me too... apart from the first day of the month, MFW is a poor fourth after chickens/eggs, food and gardening :rotfl:

I agree :rotfl:.

Well done _party__party__party__party__party_

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