I am thinking that there must be hundreds of thousands in that twilight zone just above £15 k with a state pension, small works pension, tiny bit of dividend and tiny bit of savings interest and because their works pension was taxed they assumed they were tax payers so that meant their savings interest was taxable as well - this would be a good crusade for Martin Lewis to champion - if this £5000 only applies to the previous 2 tax years it would be fairly simple to get statements and to get the tax overpayment refunded ...

Might be a good idea to tweet Martin this. I don't know any other ways to contact him. Doubt he reads this forum

Afternoon luvlies

Just by chance I was looking at light fittings on Wickes site (got most of what we need in BHS clearance last weekend). There's quite a few of the chrome spotlights on a track and on a circular plate in their clearance for £4.99. Some are orderable for delivery, but I've been fortunate enough to find stock in my local store so have done a c&c. Ignore the bit where it says out of stock, click into the product then go to click and collect and check your store stock

There's also this brass one (nice but not in keeping with the rest of the house)

Just collected my orders from 2 different stores . Thought it's worth posting as very good prices

My thoughts exactly - I don't think I'm the only person who hadn't got a clue about this (even if I am in my dotage !!!).

My view from last week

Oh, I could sit and watch the boats coming in and going out again all day, lovely view.

Serendipitious

Nipped to Co-op for my free loaf of bread, thanks to till spit the other day.

And DD's condenser dryer, which has been drying very slowly just lately, is now fully functional again, the culprits being two little Lego men who had been on an adventure in the secondary filter.... :rotfl:
