    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Dunno if this is common Knowledge but i only found it out recently. Well the Rent1 form, i lived on the P50 claim back

    Ok the Rent 1-Tax relief for tenants,in simple speak is for claiming back your tax from rented accomadation while you were a student. You will need the rented accomodation PPS/Tax Number,the amount you paid and all the finer details(read the form) of the place you rented during college.

    Download it here in interactive PDF form.
    Info here on your entitlements and how the Rent 1 form works .........etc.....

    The P50 is a wonderful form and is very easy to use. It basically entitles students to claim back the TAX that they are paying while working when they are classed as a full time student. You will need your P45 from the employers that you wish to claim back the TAX that was deducted over your most recent time of work.

    Download it here in interactive PDF form.
    Info here on your entitlements and how the P50 works .........etc.....


    There is loads more info,just google it and happy saving

    Hi Guys,

    I am due to start a post graduate course in D.I.T this coming September (2010). The cost of the course was pretty steep , about 10 k to be exact, and i decided to search for means of funding. I was lucky enough to uncover a scholarship that was available in my area , the diageo scholarship. I have been invited for an interview which is how they decide who will receive the funding. I have no idea what to be expect and I am kind of freaking out about it. Has anyone ever done one of these interviews before? What is the dress code?? Any tips or hints?? Cheers for the help in advance. :)

    This should probably be in a new thread. Way more likely to get useful answers there too.
