    f*** me its been tough

    I had my life all sorted last January. About to go into heavy profits in a few weeks, when all my costs were covered,

    THEN

    Accountant tell me corp tax bill is 3k more than I had allowed for
    Missus need 3k to put towards her ISA
    Had to put 5.5k towards a new car as I was about to go on a long journey and didnt trust old vehicle.

    So I have had to earn 11.5k spare knowing it was already gone
    its been tough.

    only two more weeks to go, then back into profits

            You HAVE to put money towards an ISA? Is this a new law?

                Does ISA perhaps stand for Important Shopping Adventure in this case?
