    Not going to work. I might be in my office eating my company owned apple and then have to go out to the kitchen to work on my brolly contract. By the time I get back it will be all brown and horrible.

    Actually the OP might have lost the competition already. Apeshape is reknowned for his questions and the title 'Snacks, fruit and free lunches...' sounds like that could have been this years winner but the thread is gone.

    They can advise you on what is and isn't allowable with company kit. That would answer your question.

    Did you ask your accountant? I'm sure after sharing it with the office they would have come back with an answer for you.

    +1 There is probably a ton of evidence from the legislations that could be posted but there is just no need. Bit of common sense is all that is needed and Eek explains that above.

    Who gives a flying monkies which kit you are using at what hours. All business stuff comes with an element of personal use so just use the bloody stuff.

    Who advised you that this was necessary?

    [QUOTE=supersteamer;n4196084]An old client came back with a very attractive offer to continue supporting, on a limited part time basis, something I'd been working on whilst I was previously there full time (but would only accept through a brolly).

    Well you've missed a trick. You should have said "provide a PO to my company if you want me to do anything."
    And told them to foxtrot oscar if they insisted on a brolly. They either want you or they don't.
    And it's amazing how soon client's change their tune when they can't get what they want.
