Thanks! Been a bit of a mad rush this morning, meant to do them over the weekend but felt completely braindead Saturday then my flipping Microsoft Word wouldn't work properly on Sun and I couldn't find the disk :mad: Luckily could email them in so made use of some work time and computer facilities this morning

i have had 2 payments today as well.
One is higher than before...although I have received no notification from them yet

I'm kind of hoping that after filling in the declaration form they've decided I've been underpaid but who knows - have adjusted my budget spreadsheet just in case that's it for the month though! one of the payments was for something silly like £1.52 so not sure why there were two of them.

Snaggs - sounds like you got a fair bit with your money, I don't think I could ever spend £1500 on a handbag - if I did I'd no doubt sit it in a puddle of beer first time I took it to the pub.:o

More than likely to do with your declaration then. The 2 payments will be working tax credit and child tax credit.

I'm good thanks Ste, how're you? Did the exams go okay?

Not too bad thanks. I ran out of time on the last exam though. I knew what I had to put down but the exam was only 2 hours (should have been 2.5 IMO). Apart from that all was good.

I've just got my design project to do now (designing a 10 storey building to deal with earthquakes), and my dissertation (which seems to grow every time I look at it).

BTW - shows how far I've improved since joining here a drop in tax credits means a wee moan and adjusting the budget but beforehand there would have been tears, sleepless nights and major panic! thank you all for restoring my sanity!

I know I know. Luckily I'm the project manager of a group of 4, and I can get them to do all the work. :cool:
