PPI refund claimants may be eligible for a tax refund:
April is coming; you may be thinking about taxation.
"The PPI deadline may have passed, but if you're one of the millions of people who have reclaimed part of the £36,000,000,000 paid out so far, or you're one of those waiting to hear if a payment will come, you need to know about the tax on PPI payouts. This is automatically deducted, even though most people don't need to pay it. So if you've been paid out within the last four years, or you get a payout in future, you could be due £100s back." Martin Lewis.

You can see an estimate of how much tax you’ll pay over the whole tax year (6 April 2019 to 5 April 2020) on the HMRC website. (Link)Debt-free day: 8th May 2015 "Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck," Dalai Llama6 -

For anyone used to using multi-quote to quote more than one person in a post, you can still do this but it’s slightly different from how it was.Click the ‘Quote’ button on posts as you read them and they’ll be waiting for you in the message box at the bottom of the page.(This assumes you are using a computer rather than a phone or tablet.)

Morning all 😃
thanks for the forum tips collation @allydowd I can confirm letters J and Z are lonely and don’t bring up any emojis when you press the : and them 🤣 do you think I need to get out more 😉
I’m up early today as I could hear the cat making a racket so I got up to investigate. It wasn’t an unearthly hour to be honest and I’ve enjoyed catching up on some diaries on here and doing a few other productive things (like signing up for a veg box, will get my 4th box free, a free cookbook and a charity close to my heart will get 3 donations from them too) whilst enjoying a coffee in the quiet. Today’s list includes:
check banking, update sheet
make a small PAD
investigate online reasons handheld dys0n is loosing powers intermittently- predict something is stuck where it shouldn’t be as filter is clean
friend coming round for cup of tea, cheaper than meeting in a town and going for a coffee (or 2)
Washing out on airer
reinvestigate getting zip repaired on a pair of boots, replacement pair I bought in a sale now need heeling and soling (wet feet on school run yesterday ☹️) but they are just not as comfortable as my other pair so may compare the price of both and just do 1
talk to DH about selling a freezer we don’t use anymore
meals from stores
soak some
chickpeas so I can make hummus tomorrow
make a cake of some description
have a a good day all. Purps.

Hi February Forumites,Mornin'. ☕ We have four forms of foul weather at the one time here. 🌨 🌬🌧🌧 I was out of bed as soon as our bin was uplifted to go rescue it before it took itself down the road to the sea.
Debt-Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Five:❄ Check online banking. ✅❄ Day 17 of 30 day Free Running Challenge. 30.3km/18.8miles so far. We'll see if there is a break in the weather. ❎❄ Alarm clock off at the wall during day time. ✅❄ Use pricey cherry teabag twice before discarding. ✅❄ Keep curtains and blinds closed to keep heat in. ✅❄ Tidy Study. ✅❄ Empty letter rack which is bulging with mail. ✅❄ Walk to GP to get blood drawn. One hospital blood test result didn't get transferred to the surgery so I have to go get the test repeated. All the consultant sent was a note to say the result was 'abnormal'. This particular result is always 'abnormal' in the Wee Geek so I'm probably going to get the result and be told it is 'as abnormal as usual' which will be a big waste of time. ✅❄ Clean bedroom window. ✅❄ Clean bathroom with Stardrops and washable cloths. ✅❄ Do own manicure and pedicure. ✅❄ Clear emails. ✅❄ Squirrel away Farmfoods coupons. ✅Debt-free day: 8th May 2015 "Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck," Dalai Llama7
