I think we did, so long ago now, basically we provided about 12 months info. I am pretty sure I gave them my P60's plus a letter from my employer and previous employer if anything we gave them too much and our agent selected what was needed.

Hope that helps

Ps only the skilled one did, the OH did bugger all!!!!

Congratulations :thumbsup:

ooh i'm on my second virtual bottle already!!! Celebrating tonight with the real stuff and a lovely big takeaway!

It's so lovely that i won't have to keep looking at that current processing times list - even though the date hadn't moved for weeks and weeks i still kept looking in anticipation!
