Then it seems rather surprising that you did not miss it for seven months.....?
ThanksPam #17 there is no rival claim situation me & Mrs Best still happily married all these years afer the little fella came along.
Yes xylophone, I am amazed I did not miss it.:o
As I say I check what goes out carefully and my salary comes in but I suppose subconsciouly because the CB ALWAYS goes in I guess I just missed it was not looking for it. Financially I always run my current account well in credit so I don't need the CB to survive but overall it a useful contribution to the budget. Probably been focussing all my financial alertness on o% credit cards balance shuffles and working hard and missed the elephant sitting in the room:rotfl:
......and yes as I pride myself on watching the pennies I am kicking myself over this......oh well another life lesson learned....
It seems no one has a definitive answer as to 'do the social backdate in this specific situation' ?0
