Got a letter today sayign ym tax code had been changed to 757. I assume this is the uniform thing. Thins is, I've neevr been given a uniform (heading on for 3 months in now :crazy: ). I'll have to ask (again)... especially before winter kicks in (my contract has been extended, albeit only informally and verbally at the moment..)

Yeah thats right its 759, I mistyped! I sent back the form with my contract.. BUT I asked again today, went to the delivery office manager (who ive only seen once or twice..) rather than my line manager and he said oh i didnt realise, should be sorted by now etc I'll see if theres anything you can have now, went to the store room, there was a load of uniform in plastic pags with my name on that had obviously been there a while.. :arrrghhh

756?
odd code, should be 759L

phone tax office and ask to have it changed, it wont mean a lot other than you can earn an extra £30 a year free from tax, which equates to about £7 in real money, but every little helps!
