Zinsser stain/knot paint is great for covering water marks on plaster walls/ceilings or on knots in wood. For insider the house I tend to use Earthborn clay paint, which is breathable, so it's great on old or damp buildings, but it also generally goes on very well in 1-2 coats, and doesn't contain a...

TFIF, etc.
Cool out, but it didn't rain on our walk, unlike the rain we had overnight which has refilled most of our water butts and got the pond over half full.

[WTFH]

Yes, I've noticed that too....

I remember meeting a South African (prior to Brexit) who had a UK company registered to his friend's house in the UK. The guy physically lived in France. He drove a car that was registered in Switzerland, but didn't officially import it into France and re-register it there. I'm unsure how the car was...

That depends. (I'm going to slightly disagree with James here around the lawfulness of it)
1. Do you have a legal right to work in the UK?
2. If the client thinks they are signing a contract with a UK resident business with UK staff, and you are not resident in the UK, then you are knowingly...

CBS, and almost Autumnaly cold and crisp. A very pleasant walk was had, that started out a bit too cool for short sleeves, but was perfect temperature once we got going.

The first rule of "Condescending Club" is really complicated...

...and honestly, I don’t think you’d get it even if I explained it in the simplest way possible.

Additional tax on "contractors" who refuse to use accountants/IFAs.

We had rain overnight, finally!
OK, it rained for about 5 minutes, but that's more than the last 3 months.

Dog walk today also included a brief shower when we were about an hour in, and in a valley the far side of another village. The same precipitation did...

None round here.

I can't help, I've got a Mac.

Oh, and buy proper tools from a decorators, not Temu/eBay

You've not mentioned the material of the window frames, the age/condition of them, how many layers of paint are on them, how much sanding you've done, etc.

None of us have exactly the same financial circumstances as you, nor do we know your risk profile, etc.
As has been said multiple times before, speak to your accountant - a professional who isn't related to you - who can go through your options.

The only reason you are "struggling"...

I'd suggest that rather than ebay, find your nearest Brewers and ask/buy from them:

I'd like to say that we had rain overnight, but it would be better to say that there was a bit of dampness that might keep the dust down for an hour or two.

To make it easier for yourself, start out with the spreadsheet you currently have that details daily rate hitting your company, and how much goes into your personal bank account each month, not forgetting personal tax, etc, and any other directors/“employees” you pay for the work you do.

Bags packed, The Dog is on his way to the brother in law. Garden to be watered, and then off to the airport.

Timesheets done for the week, dinner book for tomorrow night, The Dog is going to stay with his favourite uncle after I’ve walked him (The Dog) in the morning.

Overcast and cooler out, but quite pleasant for walking.
