I have recently started a new job, I still always have HMRC in the back of mind so i still feel in limbo. I am trying to not log in on here or check emails as much so that i can get settled in this new job because it could potentially be longstanding. Initially i wasn't sure whether or not to start this, however I am really glad I did start because it would have been in an even worse state of mind aimlessly waiting for a HMRC offer. Like the others have said, you should do whatever is best for you right now, god knows how long this will take. I do hope before the new year!!!
