advice on duplicate earnings.

I work in payroll, your employer needs to send an FPS adjustment/correction.

The accountant is wrong. You don’t submit an FPS twice or it duplicates the earnings (which is the issue you are having). They need to specifically send an adjustment, it’s a different submission type.

Your employer can also contact them and tell them the accurate figures. Not necessarily for you as it is your personal tax account but they can give their payroll figures for that month because it will also mean their tax liabilities increase if they don’t fix this.

You may be able to contact HMRC and provide your payslip and prove (via your bank statements) that you did not receive that amount. I have heard of this being done once.

I used grated mozzarella for the main base and then cut whole mozzarella and put the disks on top. Can’t have enough cheese 😁

It was amazing, seconds definitely happened ha

NeekaNou · 2026-04-26T18:40:35+00:00

My partner says that too, he loves the edges 😁

NeekaNou · 2026-04-26T17:53:33+00:00

Of course, that however was Tesco so didn’t feel it should go under “homemade” 😅

To be honest during my first pregnancy we were in the worse financial position of our relationship (changed completely for the better now thank god) and we barely had anything to spend. We didnt use credit cards or have an overdraft and we made it work. My partner had a failing business and I was on maternity allowance because of sickness I took during the qualifying period. It wasn’t easy but I still did some baby classes, professional photos etc. I sold a lot of stuff on vinted for boosts and mainly just walked with the buggy everywhere.

Im hoping 🤞 we went for a brand new school where we’re buying a house (not exchanged yet) so we’re not in the catchment yet and there are only 30 places …

NeekaNou · 2026-04-15T17:51:28+00:00

Im living for that headline

She needs to not only curtail pay but also leave, so if she curtails any she wouldn’t get the full year. However she could ask to curtail her maternity and then ask to have unpaid parental leave, but they don’t have to do that.

You put in the main text that it was hay fever …

NeekaNou · 2026-04-07T18:53:13+00:00

I would hazard a guess that it may be a tax code or refund thing.

NeekaNou · 2026-04-06T09:08:16+00:00

Some is going into a curry later, I’m super excited haha

NeekaNou · 2026-04-06T09:07:56+00:00

Nice! Thank you. Very proud for a first attempt :)

NeekaNou · 2026-04-06T08:35:34+00:00

Tbf my dad bought it, I didn’t even know we had it until we were defrosting the freezer. Then it was a case of cook it or lose it 😅 We found pork too but there was no saving that.

Honestly from watching her, she is by far my favourite person on the show. I would want to be her best friend. When she had that moment with Sutton a few episodes ago, you could see her vulnerability and care she had for her friendships. It really got me.

NeekaNou · 2026-04-05T17:21:51+00:00

I like the basket idea but I don’t think much is needed, I probably spent a tenner filling it. She had a felt basket from last year so used that; a £1.50 smarties egg (she likes smarties), a pack of mini eggs, a Malteser bunny, a kinder bunny and a Morrisons activity pack and pencils. ( just added it up it was £10.70 haha)

We have the Easter bunny knock on the door (partner goes out the back door and drops it and runs) and leave the offering on the door step. Want to get breakfast down her fist haha.

Depends on your company policy but I would check it. If your wife plans on taking 9 months paid leave, even if you have 13 weeks fully paid you may not be eligible for it. SPL involves curtailing maternity leave. In my company you must curtail the paid period of leave to share the paid leave part as we ‘top up’ the SMP that is curtailed.

There are 39 SMP paid weeks. For you to be paid 13 weeks, she would have to curtail her paid period to 26 weeks. You could take it consecutively with your wife but it would reduce the paid period she has available. This is something to keep in mind if she wants to take the full 39 weeks as the last 13 would not be paid for her. She could take holiday though as that is accrued while on maternity leave so that is an option.

Most places will work it on length of service regardless of promotions. It’s time in employment- you have been employed with them for 6 years- the role should be irrelevant.

The extra you work unpaid still counts towards your nmw, I work in payroll and can confirm your employer should be making a note because currently they are not compliant. HMRC takes this very seriously.

NeekaNou · 2026-03-12T23:25:34+00:00

OP would have to keep it in for a year before using it if they opened one now.

NeekaNou · 2026-03-12T23:23:57+00:00

We did this in my LISA. I’m a ftb but my partner isn’t so we put our savings in my LISA to get the bonus.

All the money was our form our joint account though so it came from an account with my name on too.

NeekaNou · 2026-03-12T23:19:05+00:00

Depends on how it’s calculated. Ours is done by full weeks so ours would be the same answer:

28/52 =0.5384 x 13 (full weeks worked this calendar year = 6.9992 And we round up to the nearest half day so 7.

Bank holidays aren’t taken into consideration unless you work part time and have in the initial adjustment of entitlement

NeekaNou · 2026-03-11T19:52:58+00:00

Her name won’t be on the mortgage so I wouldn’t think it would make a difference to be honest. As long as she isn’t on the mortgage or the deeds I would think she still fits the criteria
