The light at the end of the tunnel

Almost there! One small tax return and one slightly messy set of accounts to do, then 2 amended returns needed. Still 2 clients for whom I have no books, and one brother with a rental property to put in an appearance.

Not bad considering I took Thursday off last week as I was 50, and Friday off to tidy the house and shop for the party which took place on Saturday. I'm busy planning what to do with all the free time I shall get next week!

Think I will make a start on the messy accounts this afternoon, then its off to Zumba this evening.

Yippee!

Day off tomorrow!!

Got through a lot of work last week, not as productive this week as I had to go and help out a client with book-keeping and VAT. So far today I have done some wages, been to the post office, collected a prescription and made a pie for tea. Now I really need to do some work. Feels like I have a cold coming on too, which is NOT good!

No more work until Monday then, as tomorrow is my big 5-0 and I feel I should take the day off. Going out to lunch with hubby, then on Friday will be cleaning and preparing for the party on Saturday. Why have I ended up with 56 people coming? Thankfully my little sis will arrive early on Saturday to give a hand.

Anyway, it's almost lunchtime...

I'm winning!

Whizzed though 12 tax returns yesterday, and one set of accounts completed.Ticked the bank on another job, so that should be done soon too.

A beautiful sunny day, so at least we are making solar power for a change!  British Gas thought something was wrong with our system because it did so badly last month.

If I wasn't waiting in for Fedex to bring a parcel (they couldn't find my house yesterday), I might go for a walk. Will live in hope that it arrives soon.

Think I'm going down with something

Got up feeling really achy this morning, with a stuffed up nose. Bought some fizzy vitamin C tablets to try to fight it off. I don't have time to be ill, and its my BIG birthday next week. I don't want to be ill for that!

Another thing - why do clients think it's ok to send back their signed tax returns to be submitted, but fail to pay, or even mention that they might pay soon? I'm not a charity you know!

Also have a teenager at home on study leave for an AS physics module which takes place tomorrow. Not much  progress apparent!

The pressure is on!

Just as it seems that there is light at the end of the tunnel, 2 clients decide that their returns need amendment. Its as much as I can manage to keep up with the outstanding ones, never mind those supposedly already completed.

Oh well, I shall have to get them sorted out first, I suppose.

Monday again!

Really didn't want to get up this morning. Had friends round last night to celebrate our daughter & their son getting offers of a place at Cambridge University. Drank too much for a Sunday & feel really weary today.
Both kids now back at school, so no excuses for not working today.

Still several people who haven't brought their books in.  There is a fine of £100 for all tax returns not filed by 31st January, and if they are 3 months late the fine goes up by £10 a day. This is new from last year, & a lot of people won't realise. They are going to get a very nasty shock!

...and more tax returns!

Managed about 12 tax returns since last post, and looks like I will get through the ones I have in.
But why have so many people not brought their books and info yet? Some of them are going to get fined methinks!

One teenager back at school today, the other not till Monday, so at least its a bit quieter on the Western Front!
