Thank you so much, i am more than interested. The first job i would like done is the refurbishment of our bathrooms, the tile grouting etc, i then need the garden wall repainting and the list goes on...i'm more than happy to wait until he can do. I'm quite happy paying a good price for a good job. I have to say the work he has done for you looks a great professional job, just what i am looking for.

I'll get wifey on the case and let you know the outcome.

Love it

What about a Vernier Height Gauge and Micrometer ? lol, i've still got my Micrometer.....

Well i would have said you were clear favourites for our match but after your last nights result i'm not so sure

Love BS

Me too, i was a regular, real sad when it closed.

I WISH LOL, When contacting the DWP they just tell you to contact HMRC

Thanks Mike, nahh we don't get any assistance with cleaning the road or security, our Thai neighbours just won't pay for it. The road imo looks a mess well other than our frontage which wifey regularly cleans, you won't ever get me out there cleaning or tending to the garden its just toooooooo damn hot !!! Our gardener comes twice a month and we pay him 1200bht for the big job (4-5 hours) and 500bht for the small version (2 hours). The standard of his work is not up to English standards but for what we are paying its ok, he don't know what a fork or a spade is for tending the flower beds/lawn edging, he just uses a Thai type tool that i've never seen before and needless to say it don't end up looking as good as it could. TIT mate When we bought our house we bought two plots of land, one for the house and one for the garden but now after 17 years of ownership we have a few major refurbishment jobs needing doing but we just can't get suitably competent workers to carry out, one of the problems with living in Korat/Isaan. Yep just like your wifey my wifey looks after herself in every respect and we reap the rewards ehh lol Coming to Thailand and meeting our ladies was akin to winning the lotto imo lol

So its been pretty hot then mate ? lol

So you have to wear it to bed ?

Bingo, i have been put off buying a new Fortuner because of what you say.

I am surprised they are not showing your state pension as it forms part of your income, so how are you able to check that you are not being overcharged tax cos your state pension is increasing each year by the triple lock increases that in truth you are not receiving. Same same all previous years .. I always get a tax refund though .. THE MIND BOGGLES lol

So your state pension will be showing on your HMRC account, check that it is the correct amount for the current tax year, also check previous years. When i cottoned on to what was happening i initially got a refund of over £350 but since i now check every year i just get the amount adjusted to the correct figure.

When did you start drawing the state pension ? if you are in receipt of it you need to check that they are not imposing the TL increases, my pissey ass weekly benefit is £124 per week and they have me down as receiving £134 and are taxing me accordingly. I have raised a query online with them and am awaiting a reply, sure enough they will check eventually and adjust to reflect the true figure. I have had to do this for the last few years and i'm not alone many expat farangs are having the same problem. You need to check.
