The Coman & Co blog has recently been updated with a post about the Child Benefit Tax Charge being introduced from 7 January 2013. The guide briefly summarises the new regime.


My personal view, however, is that the charge unduly takes no account of household income or has no London weighting.


Taking the example of a parent where one earns ?50,000 and the other has no income. This person?s income tax for 2012-13 would be ?9,884.00 and their national insurance would be ?4,337.36. Net pay would therefore be ?35,778.64.

According to Foxtons, the average house price for a one bed property in East Dulwich is ?200,848. The average for a two bed (say a married couple wishing their child to sleep in a separate room) is ?291,162.

      Ear piercing for 10 year old

      By EMcL · Posted

      We made a day of it and went to John Lewis on Oxford street Tish Lyon in July this year. They use a needle and my daughter is super squeamish but they were great and she was brave they were really nice and the selection of earrings is lovely.   Monica vinadar also do a special kids experience they have a branch in canary wharf or flagship in chelsea.  You do have to buy a pair of earrings from them in both cases. It's about 20quid for up to three piercings and then u basically pay for the earrings of choice. All very unlike my own experience of taking myself to a hair dresser in Hull to annoy my mum and getting it done with probably a rank gun. I survived...less lovely though.  I did also recently get my own ears re- done at Polished. It was fine but did feel like blunt fork going through my ear and I did come away with a shirt collar covered in blood.  I survived and wasn't that bad... but again...slightly less lovely. A friend went to Pro beauty next to clippers in Dulwich. Her daughter was very nervous so they used numbing cream for her (don't think they normally recommend it as such) but that seems to have been a good experience as well .    Tish lyon will do from age 7, monica vinader you have to be actually exactly 10. We wanted to go a week before 10th bday and MV wouldn't do it until the day of 10th bday.

      This is not what I am referring to as imaginary, more that to reverse this trend shoppers would be prepared to go back to high street shopping - To pay more - Endure the irritation, inconvenience and time spent real life shopping - and to have far, far far less choice. To shop in bricks and mortar shops means the shopkeeper is to a certain extent making preliminary choices for us. As I said before, the genie is out of the bottle.
