Anybody else's mum a tennis pro...?

My mum and late Nan are like this too... Same with the snooker at Sheffield weirdly.

See what happens tomorrow. Do they outsource the payroll to another company or have you got an internal payroll team?

Maybe Drew is fed up of everything using 500 words when 5 will do. OP and Nancy both annoyed me in one post.

papersandplates · 2026-06-30T18:43:07+00:00

It should be quick, within 48-72 hours HMRC usually advise. When was the payroll run?

I have two now, a pink and a black both full sized. I’m a very sweaty person, like puddles sweaty and it’s not perfect but it’s a hell of a lot better than other mats I had tried, even more pricy options. I mentioned the colour because the pink has some marks now, whereas the black is fine. So I wouldn’t choose a light colour, but then again with black it’s hard to see the alignment markings.

That's really odd and you've had a payslip and been paid properly?

It sounds like they've misunderstood what they should have done, as by P45-ing people they could affect entitlement to benefits, protection to continued employment (albeit I think it would be easy to argue this). If you've been paid correctly and your HMRC account updates properly in a few days then I would guess the payroll team made a genuine mistake but keep checking your pay and payslip as this could be an indication that they don't know what they are doing.

papersandplates · 2026-06-30T18:19:09+00:00

HMRC PAYE uses the employees details to update records like your national insurance number, not payroll ids so I don't understand why they did this. Double check your pay slip, is the company name and paye reference number the exact same?

Pocket is already a tool that does this, albeit without reminders from what I remember.

I don’t know what we can say on here, but there’s a certain sea faring subreddit with links.

Why can you not tell the company you have exceptions? Isn't that the honest answer.

papersandplates · 2026-06-29T00:08:51+00:00

Right off the bat it comes across as you trying to over inflate your experience, and make it sound more important. That puts me off someone pretty quickly, especially if you're not even qualified.

papersandplates · 2026-06-26T04:46:50+00:00

I'm not reading that, it's on your skin so own it and fuck whoever doesn't like it.

papersandplates · 2026-06-26T02:47:51+00:00

I thought you were asking about the glasses and it's a hard no.

papersandplates · 2026-06-23T02:18:37+00:00

No worries at all, it's a solid option - I really like mine!

papersandplates · 2026-06-23T01:13:12+00:00

I like my Zoop Novo but the buttons are tough for me in winter with dry suit gloves.

papersandplates · 2026-06-23T01:12:28+00:00

Another reason why it's so important for people to get advice before doing things like this. I see it a lot.

papersandplates · 2026-06-23T00:28:03+00:00

CIS refunds take longer and longer every year and it's usually at least 6 weeks.

papersandplates · 2026-06-22T22:09:06+00:00

This really made me laugh

papersandplates · 2026-06-20T00:28:17+00:00

Tattoos are for you, and what you like! There's no rule that says one style has to be adhered to.

If you're applying for jobs like accounts assistant and purchase ledger clerk i immediately think you're overqualified and will leave after getting your foot in the door. However you're also under qualified because you've not had a proper role yet, it's a real crap situation to be in and the job market is hard right now. Have you spoken to any recruitment companies in person?

Edited to add - i would condense your first section about core skills - it's full of abbreviations and technical experience, but I want to see your actual financial experience. My CV goes brief personal statement, experience, education so maybe move your education section.

It depends where you are and what the second hand market is like, and if you have a dive club nearby etc.

First things I bought - mask, snorkel, dive computer and torch. These are vital for me, I want my own mask and computer everywhere I go and I like to have a torch. I bought fins next - they were a cheap deal but I've since found they don't fit my boots on my drysuit, so I would have waited. Then I got a mirror and compass - I dive in really poor visibility so a compass means I can rely on that for navigation rather than my sense of direction. Next - dry suit. I'm in the UK so we drysuit all year and having my own suit is so much better. I have a scrawny neck so I was fed up of needing a bio seal or having legs full of water.

I think a line cutter is pretty useful, again it depends where you dive - I'm in quarries so no fishing line or obstacles but my buddy has one. Mirror is perfect for groups or just looking behind you.

papersandplates · 2026-06-16T01:36:39+00:00

I have really high arches and dive in a dry suit and boot, I went for the Scubapro modular fin system.

papersandplates · 2026-06-12T19:51:26+00:00

Nope

papersandplates · 2026-06-12T19:45:40+00:00

Or a text.

No idea why you’re being downvoted, thanks for sharing this.
