    Sorry Z but they DO have the information from his P45's ~ I know what I'm talking about, I work in the field :rolleyes:

    But his P45's are not a total picture of what he's earned during the 07-08 tax year. He does, after all, have 5 days left to earn his fortune.

    Yes they are. Maybe not for me & you but in his case they are, which is why he is claiming the rebate now.

    You're missing the point Z ~ he filled out a P50 which is to claim tax back BEFORE the end of the tax year

    Evening!

    I have taken my new hairdo out for a meal and a drink - Stu even said I looked nice!! :eek:

    Think we spent too much though....bit naughty but I haven't started my campaign to put a dent in the secured loan yet, OR my diet, so sod it! :D

    Feel a bit of a fraud because obviously things aren't really quite right between us at the moment, but it was nice to put that aside for a little while.

    You have an amazing knack of bypassing the swear filter :rotfl: you must let me in on your secret! :p

    Glad you had a good night and remember he IS trying, things dont get better overnight (especially being that he is of the bloke persuasion)

    What did you eat?

    And I refuse to get into a *how much did you spend* discussion coz I'll win hands down :o:o
