Contractors claiming for allowance
Coming from you, this is a compliment. Thank You. This proves that infact, you're an idiot, and a big one too. This proves that not only you're an idiot, but your "accountant" is an idiot too. You should watch Jamie at Home. Maybe you can learn a thing or two. i guess what you lack...- buffdaddy
