    Right.. Ste's planet Earth box set and guitar are now on ebay.. going to list the ps3 tonight as well..might put the ps3 with a Buy it now of £400... :think:


    Remember you'll pay more for the listing with Buy it now....i can't remember if it's cheaper with a buy it now.. or a reserve....

    Reserve is sometimes best cause it means you at least "risk" getting more, whereas buy it now, you get your price, but i'd always wonder if you'd get more?

    Having said that, we tried to sell a car last week and it never went... had bids but not up to reserve, i don't think Big G was fussed as i know he wanted to keep it!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Sorry to hijack IA, but just wondered who it was that had done the social policy that follows on from the OU course you're doing?

    Ok lets break it down:
    How much per session and 2 x 3 hours for each kid.
    =.......

    Free sessions for A reduces that by
    =......

    Childcare vouchers from work are tax free so would knock off (20% ish)
    =......

    would childcare vouchers lower Ste's take home to up tax credits a bit?
    =.....

    Sarah's "driving lesson" training budget (you could find this on old budget when doing driving lessons so not extra money)reduces by
    =£25

    so how much extra....
    They are actually tax and NI free. Doesn't that make it a bit more to knock off? :cool:

    Better still if CAB will pay your costs though IA.

    = no... it'd lower tax credits as we'd only get childcare element for the fees not paid for by vouchers.. the annual income would be the same.
    You've lost me here. You wouldn't get childcare element of tax credits unless you were working 16 hours. I suggested childcare vouchers to pay for childcare so you didn't have to work 16 hours.
  • We've got a bit on the ps3... really hope it doesn't go for 99p though! :eek::rotfl:
