The Cyclists are doing the C2C2C today about 280 miles. The Great North Air Ambulance saved the life of one of these riders last year and it's payback timeโค๏ธโค๏ธ
I didn't capture everyone ...plus theres 3 support vans ......and amongst those legs is the only lady rider.
I really wanted to do it but I need to get down the field๐
Hope all the cyclists succeeded in their challenge.we got a good look at the helicopter a couple of years ago while doing a charity walk for them.
Thanks bq for that wonderful photo๐ค๐คThey all rolled in at about 8pm last night. All well apart from one dehydrated and exhausted. Over ยฃ2.5K raised๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
DS2+ wife in stand off with their sellers. Sellers claiming they canโt complete until end August. DS2+W saying they have to complete by end July for their mortgage. Sellers ask what their plan B is, DS2+W say they are moving in with us and will look to buy again next spring. Thatโs met by silence. They are meeting today. See who blinks first.
It's a buyers market, so tell him not to blink first x
Morning all. Rain here and a crash on the main road to the air show means a lot of grumpy people.
On the plus side Iโve learnt that when I wave, my bingo wings oscillate like a manta rays wings. Thanks for that information kiddos! ๐ฉ
Hugs to all xx
That made me laugh lalli๐๐
sorry you are still under the Covid cloud mw. I've never known a time when there is so much about. Friends, work colleagues....it seems to be everywhere at the moment๐
Discussing tax rates with the husband and for every hour he works above 20 hours per week heโs paid net (after tax, NI, pension and UC deduction) ยฃ1.20 an hour.
Anybody else have ridiculous marginal rates for earning more than the lowest earners? I think I remember someone posting a 95% marginal tax rate for people with a children who earned ยฃ75k and used the childcare vouchers. But honestly who wants to work for ยฃ1.20 an hour after tax and deductions. ยฃ12 a full days work. ยฃ60 for 5 days (once heโs worked his contracted 2 days)
Should add, heโs paid a good ยฃ4 an hour above minimum wage
I had thought that I lost 55% plus 20% plus 8% plus 5.45% pension so 88.5% but it turns out the 55% is only applied to the amount left after the other deductions which makes it a fair bit better.
However as I am old so close to pension age I just shove any extra into my pension so just lose the NI now and will also lose 15% income tax when I pull it out (there is a 25% tax free lump sum) and I will no longer be eligible for UC at that stage so the 55% will no longer apply.
Anyone know of a decent cheap phone contract. I am with O2 at ยฃ8.70 a month for 30 GB of data and unlimited calls and text. They want to put it up to ยฃ15.90 from August. Any suggestions gratefully received.

I pay ยฃ6 a month on Smarty. I donโt use anywhere near the data allowance of 6gb. Refer a friend gives us both a tenner as long as you renew after your first month. What I like is I can leave at any time, although I have no wish to.
ETA If you need more data, 8gb is ยฃ7, 16gb is ยฃ8, 40gb is ยฃ10, 100gb is ยฃ12.
ETAA Iโve spotted a uswitch exclusive deal for Smarty ยฃ7 for 33gb for 15 months, although youโd not get the referral bonus obviously. Maybe this would suit you best if you've been using the 30gb on your current plan with O2?

Thanks for all your replies they were a great help. Have gone with one of Martins best buys. ID Mobile unlimited with 30GB for ยฃ4.00 a month for 3 months then ยฃ8.00 per month with a ยฃ35.00 Amazon voucher back. Hope it works out ok. Needed to do something quickly.
Hoping the elite might know the answer. Would they supply the cute miniature bottles or just a phial? Was going to treat DD as never know what to get her. www.thefragranceshop.co.uk/scentaddict Not sure I would chose Moschino Fresh Thanks
