    I've had a look at the website and you can still print R85 forms so that's what I am going to do, print a couple off for the renewed accounts and then complete and pop them in the post and then another for TSB in September and then drop it off when that renews

    sadly the ISAs are paying 1.3% at best :mad: - otherwise I would have a very neat set of finances but instead they are all over the place :D

    I'm still a bit confused by the whole interest thing - but why do you need to complete R85 forms if all interest is now paid gross ? Or am I missing something vital ?

    I have a whole van of doom:rotfl: but i have seriously knackered my arm:eek:

    Oh dear bubbs, not too painful is it ? Too much gravy shopping and ironing, and I don't mean that to sound glib. Think I should start again without wise cracks :o

    Seriously I hope it's not going to hinder you too much, obviously you are in pain but I'm sending you soothing vibes xx


    Edit: bubbs that's glitchy gravy, you understand lol X

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    It's been a quiet weekend so far and my fingers are crossed it remains that way :rotfl:

    I see some lovely shopping been done, well done to those glitch finders and OPs and testers. You are a lovely bunch :T

    I've lost my mojo too but I still seem to be making lists and jottings which I know I won't be using. Need another tidy up to rid my desk of bits of paper :cool:

    Hugs and bestest wishes to those in need, the list is growing but my thoughts are still intense X

    To tell the truth, the pain is back in my ribs and back. Doc has told me to take an extra Gabapentin, as in on a low dose and to rub in Fenbid Gel, which is Ibuprofen. I didn't sleep last night until about 5oclock this morning so I'm dog rough :rotfl:

    I keep thinking though, that my lungs are clear of nasties and I'm so bloody lucky as a few of my friends on here and RL are going through the mill and it's so unfair :(
