    They send you a refund, eventually. Or if you are due tax they will ask you to pay it or can adjust your tax code for next year if you are working.
    Does that mean you don't have to check how much interest you are earning, as I cant fathom it all out. If you earn too much (unlikely in my case but you never know lol) will they automatically know?

    Thanks savvy sal :)

    I had been looking at the rice as it looks as though they had added more flavours than the original offer.

    Been back to edit my post.

    You should keep tabs on things, just because you should.

    But if you don't (unless you are earning fortunes) it will all sort itself out eventually. Interest from the bank will be notified to the revenue, who will know what tax you should pay. They will contact you with a refund or a tax code adjustment for an overpayment. Expect it to take months.

    I thought the stock market had done well out of brexit? Exchange rate moving against us meant foreign investors piled in as their money went further. Obv individual shares may not perform in the same way.

    You could have got them 8 years ago for £16 a share. £60 back for every weeks cruise, or £150 back for a 2 week cruise, and they tend to do good dividend payments, so someone buying then would have had their money back by now easily if they cruised 2 weeks a year, and of course their £1600 worth of shares would now be worth £4650 :eek:

    2008 - 8 years ago we were financially supporting eldest child through uni and she was bankrupting us, middle child was at sixth form and struggling and we were supporting him as he was still at home and youngest child was struggling through his GCSEs educationally but still managed to get into college - I have no idea whatsoever how we got through in one piece.

    I think that was rock bottom year but in 2009 I started keeping excel charts and finally we started saving ...

  • omg.. it is like trying to learn the APG again... but I got there in the end!!

    I also need to know the difference between a DD and SO... so I have a long way to go! I am guessing a DD is to a company, and a SO is something you can set up as an individual to move between accounts

    :o:o:o:o

    In very simple terms.

    A SO pushes money from your account - you are in control

    A DD pulls money from your account - the company is in control

    Unless of course you have DDs set up to yourself ie. Tesco/Paypal :D
