My name is Mark. You might know me but probably not.

@EE I am well - hope that you are too! I placed the upgrade a bit before 1000 this morning.

@EE I just upgraded my mobile plan to give me unlimited data. Although it appeared to work, when I log in to My EE it shows the correct plan name but tells me I have only 40GB available.

Is there a way we can sort it without me waiting in a long queue to 150? What should I do?

[Mark Somerville @_Spakman]

@HMRCcustomers Meaning that I just don't include the rents of £3,000 anywhere on the tax return since it is below £3,750?

[Mark Somerville @_Spakman]

@HMRCcustomers Just in case whoever reads this tomorrow doesn't have the context: I'm still looking for advice on this.

[Mark Somerville @_Spakman]

@paulanthonywils Aye, I was close to picking up the phone but the thought of being on hold was making me drink coffee, fold socks and generally feel existential dread! Couldn't be happier with their Twitter interaction here!

[Mark Somerville @_Spakman]

@paulanthonywils Well, I'm not sure about "customer", but you know what I mean!

[Mark Somerville @_Spakman]

@paulanthonywils I'm completely stunned! It felt like a total longshot but it has been the best customer support I've had from anything for a long time!

[Mark Somerville @_Spakman]

@HMRCcustomers Great, thanks again!

[Mark Somerville @_Spakman]

@HMRCcustomers Final related question. I see that last year that I mistakenly entered the rent a room income in that box (was again under the threshold), meaning I was taxed on that income.

If I want to fix that, as above, do I just amend that one box? Is that all I need to do to re-submit?

[Mark Somerville @_Spakman]

@HMRCcustomers Perfect! Thanks a lot for your help, really appreciated :)

[Mark Somerville @_Spakman]

@HMRCcustomers Thanks for the help. I'm a little unclear what you mean though. So, since my rent a room income is below the threshold, I should simply enter zero in the "Total rents and other income from property" box (online SA)?

[Mark Somerville @_Spakman]

For a little more clarity, I need to fill in SA for self employed income anyway.

[Mark Somerville @_Spakman]

@HMRCcustomers Under SA, when claiming rent a room relief and under the tax-free threshold, should I enter rent received under "Total rents and other income from property"? Doing so makes the rent appear as taxable income in my summary :/

Twitter for dating: your profile can contain only a single photo and a single word. Daft idea, impossible to monetise and would sell for billions.

[Mark Somerville @_Spakman]

@georgieboy72 @thereaIbanksy Whatever gives you that idea?

@AlllllyB I loved them! Great hills (I was bouldering rather than running, but still).

To claim that making any of these available would constitute a threat to national security is preposterous https://t.co/Nk6QY7lM3V

@CapturingRCoast Are there any training days coming up in Scotland?
