I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect some of that was English.
Yes, I start a new job on Monday.

I'm also waiting to hear about a tax rebate from my redundancy payment. Exciting stuff.

Is this a new new job?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 16 Aug 2012, 21:35, Reply)

Yep, technical funding officer for 9 months maternity cover.
It's on the programme I used to work on, but for a different organisation, so I know the stuff inside out. Lot's of hands-on helping grant applicants, which I enjoy.

Ah yes, I think you mentioned this before.
Congratulations. I hope it leads to something more long term.

So do I.
Gives me a bit more breathing space at least. trouble is, in my current line of work (funding) a lot of it has dried up, so there's not much about.

alright?
The first 30k of a redundancy payment is tax free. Any excess should be paid in to your pension so as to gain the tax relief.

did you see your IFA at the time?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 16 Aug 2012, 21:13, Reply)

No, I got a letter at the time of the payment advising me to contact the tax office.
I don't have an IFA.

Not that I have much redundancy left anyway, most of it's gone on living expenses while I was dolescum and paying off a couple of debts.
