Good morning everyone :wave:
AJ wishing you a speedy recovery.
Sarahdol hope all goes well for OH on Monday.
Emerald hope you are in less pain and able to eat today.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend. I'm off around garages looking for a new car (or should I say a new used car)

I know that bank savings interest is no longer taxed at source and I had just about got my head around the £1000 tax free interest that was allowed - buy I thought that interest from shares would still be taxed before I got it. I've realised today that it isn't and that I will have to allow for it as part of the £1000. I have absolutely no idea how I am going to be able to check whatever the tax crowd try to grab back off me - my tax stuff never ever worked out as it should when I was SE and I have no faith in the tax office getting it right now.

I have not had a good day !

I am sure I have one of those in the spare room :eek:

AJ, hope you are feeling better soon xx

As for memorable poems, the only one I can remember is the Quality of Mercy Speech from The Merchant of Venice, I thought it might be handy one day - not so far though lol

Jeez, now I am really walking in treacle ! That article is very interesting and, as you say, on the face of it looks like great news. I've read it twice and it seems to indicate that I won't have to pay tax at all on my shares (they produce up to around £1500 per year so less than the £5000 ceiling mentioned ). But the article only talks about dividends not interest - are they really generous enough to give us separate tax free allowances for dividends and interest ? That seems unlikely but would certainly be excellent news.

I can't even keep on top of my bank statements and even though I log all transactions my bank always recon my balance is a bit higher than my records show. And for years, when I was running the office petty cash account, I had enough extra money left over to fund cream cakes for 6 staff every perishing week ! My brain does not cope well with cash business.
