Train - FREEZING
I tend to take the attitude of if its hot enough I'm standing there sweating and so are other people, then its ok to open the window. If that makes you feel cold because your sitting next to it, your welcome to come stand over here squashed in with these other people and I'll sit in the 'cold... -
Interview no show
Yeah pretty much :D I know it needs a major reworking anyway, I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. -
Interview no show
Unfortunately I'll give that a miss thanks, even though its probably all over the world by now on various job websites etc, I like to live under the delusion I've been careful in its distribution :happy -
Interview no show
Seems a bit long to me. But then I've not been working long enough to need more than 3 pages at the moment :) However, I noticed it says 'Microsoft Certified Professional.' at the top of every page, didn't realise it was that big a deal, I'm Microsoft certified quite a few times now so perhaps... -
Solicitor recommendations for conveyancing?
Congratulations on finding a house! I'm just getting started on this myself, I put in an offer on Saturday which was accepted, so now rushing to appoint a solicitor :) No chain on vendors side and I'm a first time buyer so no chain my side either, should hopefully go pretty smoothly and... -
Train - FREEZING
Nah, I've had burns on my legs from the stupid heaters which they never seem to turn off on Southeastern Trains (and your legs end up very close to because of the tiny seats, if your lucky enough to get a seat). Nearly always is so hot and stuffy on the trains its just ridiculous and then... -
Tax year for dividends
Yeah, if they have left me open for any fines/additional taxes require paying I will be seeing if I can prise any of that cost out of them. However as I have to sign everything they submit, I guess in the end it comes back to its all my fault cos I signed that I agree with it and as director its...- Graham

Tax year for dividends
Yeah, I always got the feeling they were perhaps being a bit creative in the way the accounts were done, which I figured was probably normal. But since speaking to them in November and what I've been able to find out since, I think I am best stepping away ASAP and having someone check through it...- Graham

Tax year for dividends
Thanks, so it does seem its not just me misunderstanding it, they seem to have done it wrong somehow? First thing I am going to ask the new accountants when they take over is to check through all my previous years so far, in case I need to go hat in hand to HMRC to rectify anything. I know...- Graham

Tax year for dividends
Thanks for the replies everyone :) Its possible I didn't understand them properly, but I thought I did. They basically just seemed to be saying that say, for my 2014-2015 personal tax return, the amount of dividends I took from the company in the company 2014-2015 tax year is what would be...- Graham

Tax year for dividends
I've asked around about this and also searched a fair bit and not found anything stating it (maybe not searching for the right words?). Just looking for more opinions on it to make sure what I've been told so far matches up. I'm now just shy of 3yrs into contracting and have been with the same...- Graham

Accommodation & other expenses when staying away
Sounds like it'd be worth having a try for a dispensation then, although I expect things to be fairly straightforward so might not make overly much difference in the end. I've confirmed with the landlady now that I will transfer the money straight to her account from my company account so...- Graham

Accommodation & other expenses when staying away
Thanks everyone for your answers. In answer to the question about usually residing at my parents whilst in contract, except for while I was renting a house yes I was. However that was my first contract and it lasted just short of 3yrs, so this one that I will be living away for is actually only...- Graham

Accommodation & other expenses when staying away
Thanks. 1. I had considered doing it that way, but figured it'd be easier to just take the money straight from the business account and therefore skip having to reimburse myself etc. However yeah I guess it'd create a slightly better trail than just withdrawing cash from the business account...- Graham
