        its amazing how expensive a 6 week holiday can cost during school holidays somewhere like disneyworld in a resort hotel with 1st class flights for everyone!!!! Oh and dont forget to treat the parents/in-laws, you need babysitters after all.

          Be interesting how things pan out now. According to Gauke yesterday, he said it would take up to 18 months to issue APN's, so we are still in the waiting game. Having said that, I suppose once the list of schemes are released (eventually) at least the obvious will become reality and I can begin to decide which route I go down. Definitely would rather go bankrupt than let them get the money from any equity in my house, which would ultimately end up in me moving out anyway !!!!

          I also heard that legal action can't really be undertaken until APN's arrive, not sure how true that is.

          I had the opportunity to move to the USA back in 2002............damn I regret not choosing to do so now !!! Might tweet Gauke and see if he will lend me his time machine

          Just going to continue to list my options (other than pay up) although it won't be much of a list !!

          Anyway, we lost the battle yesterday, but the war almost certainly carries on and I for one, will be very much part of it

            Not quite, an amendment would go back to the House of Commons for it to be voted on again. The hoc would then either vote to accept or reject the amendment

                I might be asking a rhetorical question, but whats the point of the HOL then if they have no teeth?

                  Could always go to Vegas, put the whole lot on red. If your number comes up, everyone's a winner including HMRC. If not, everyone's a loser, including HMRC.

                  They did spend hours discussing gambling in the Finance Bill, so it's only "fair".
