    You can get a current appointments report from Companies House for free, either that or a letter from your accountant stating you're the only director.

    Pardon for Alan Turing

    Agree with this statement. It does make you think about the others that were convicted, while they may not have been as notable as Turing they were still human beings - its a difficult one. I hope they get a pardon - but where do you stop going back in time pardoning people for what we now...

    Bad blood with HR in past permie job

    Declare it, remember HR is there to protect the employer. Saying anything other than "they worked here from x date to y date in the capacity of z" would fall outside of protecting the employer - why open themselves up for a civil suit unless they have to. Just keep it polite and to the minimum...

    Bots (the boring Google etc sort)

    You could set a robots.txt to make sure they "good" bots don't index it.

    Accepted parcel for another house... person doesn't live there!

    Problem with most online companies is they don't tell you who they are using to deliver. Then you see the "track your parcel link" and think "ah feck. Not these clowns" I do like online companies where you can specify the courier, APC while not the cheapest I've never had an issue with.

    Happy Birthday wxman!

    I spoke to wxman a few weeks ago - so he is still around :) Happy Birthday Bud, hope you're having a good one.

    Floor damaged during delivery

    Are there any tiles you could move to make good the damaged ones? From under the fridge/freezer/dishwasher etc. You could then put the cracked ones there.

    Do you take out IR35 Insurance?

    +1 Don't know if the last but is true but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was.

    Xmas Party - Sage Nominal

    7800 - Maintenance: Repairs and Renewals :) You could also use 7012 - Employee General Expenses 7403 - UK Entertainment As long as it makes sense to you and you don't put it on the balance sheet there is no right answer.

    renting accomudation near by client

    If it's needed for the business it's an acceptable claim. In other words how far are you willing to commute? Depends on your circumstances. The closer you are to the client the harder it would be to argue that it's not your normal home. How long does it take you to get to the client?

    Personal Self-assessment: Dividend declared in one financial year and paid in another

    Ah I should have mentioned that by 'paid' I mean transferred to my directors loan account along with all wages etc. I then take money out of here as and when needed.

    Personal Self-assessment: Dividend declared in one financial year and paid in another

    I'd be interested on this. I paid a dividend to myself but I only do my paperwork every 3 months. So the entry into the books was in the year before (PAYE) and the "entry" was in the year after. Now I say "entry" as I produced div vouchers at the time and filed them into my company records. I...

    Maximum load in a 7 ton Luton van

    If it's rated over 3.5t it'll have DOT plate which are usually some shade of faded orange. It'll also have a tachograph but as long as you're not using for business use then you don't need to use it. It's its a 3.5t rated vehicle it'll have one of these.

    Last year, I accidentally put my 'cash at bank and in hand' as too high

    I'd be more worried that your accounts don't add up. Then again its £146. I'd just forget it and after 6 years "poof" HMRC will no longer be interested.
