    Thank you, it was a good one. Thats annoying about the tax on your childs account. Can you get it back for last year? Or is it gone now as the tax year is closed. Do you remember filling in one of those forms, I think its a form r85.

    Hannah: To claim back tax on a savings account you need an R40. You can download one from HMRC here (Link). Send the R40 to HMRC.

    Then use an R85 to make sure you don't pay tax in future (Link). Send the R85 to your bank.

    Evening all!

    Hope you have all had a wonderful day :)

    Today I spent a little on lunch in work (oops!) however will just take this off of my self-allowed balance for sweeties etc at the weekend!
    Sponged some snacks for tomorrows lunch from my parents house!
    Found out that the team I have joined in work had won £50.00 prior to me joining and are putting it behind the bar after next payday and they have kindly included myself so that's a free afternoon to look forward to!
    Listed a couple of gumtree items that have already sold (£20-£30 depending if they try to haggle at POS :P) this'll be going straight towards CC payment!

    Take care :)

    Thanks Hannah - yes a big shock. Am hoping because he is so healthy normally that will help him recover.
