  • Hello all,

    Hugs to @Hostafan1,
    Hope @Dovefromabove had a a good day and Mr @Busy-Lizzie is feeling better. 

    I'm not in a particularly good place here, but ploughing on. CdeG is ridiculously busy, short of staff as ever. Making a whole pile of money which the tax man is taking from me as fast as it comes in, therefore making the progress of my mortgage application extremely difficult. 😬 I'm paying 40% tax on my salary, doesn't leave much left. 

    Anyway, ever onwards, looking at other options. 
     A big hug to others suffering in other ways, life's not easy is it!

    One consolation @D0rdogne_Damsel, you must be earning a lot to pay all that tax. I hardly pay any tax on my pension!

    HMRC sent me another letter today fining me  £100 because my late Husband didn't send them a tax return.

  • I thought you'd got all that sorted @Hostafan1

    Seems you don't have to earn much here before you go up to 40% ☹️

    Oh not again @Hostafan1 , didn't you already have to deal with this once before? 
    I know my Mother was always very stoic and uncomplaining, but this was the one sort of thing that really upset her after my father died. I guess it's a computer generated thing but they need to get their records sorted.

    From my conversation this morning, I believe / hope it's all done with now. 
    The guy told me to bin anything else which comes in from now on as he's " closed it down "
