Reply to: Invoicing your Mum

[SueEllen]

Then there are those whom you couldn't pay to visit their last remaining parent, no matter how much you offered.

Families full of love and hate.......

My mother always insisted that she wanted to pay me what I would have earned when I took time off (usually a day) for her many appointments. One time I asked her how much she imagined it to be. About £30 she said.

Mind you, she also offered me £6 to cover a tankful of petrol.

I billed my mum once, and she turned the invoice over and wrote on it


For the nine months I've carried you (in the office), no charge
For the nights I've sat up with you, doctored you, prayed for you (to deliver), no charge
For the ties, folding clothes and for wipin' your nose,coz you are useless there's no charge
When you add it all up, the full cost of my BA Skillz is, no charge

Well, when I finished readin' I had great big old tears in me eyes
And I looked up at her and said, "Mommy, I sure do love you"
Then I took the pen and in great big letters I wrote, 'Bailiffs will be here on Monday'
When you add it all up, the cost of real love is, your house

I'd invoice AndyW's mum

She always invoiced me

[SimonMac]

Damn my mother and her having her own faculties!



Although can I ask my accountant if my grandmother will be allowed?

[DaveB]

And to think come April he won't even be able to claim T&S!

He'll just put his day rate up to compensate. ****.

Have we done this:

Former freelance consultant billed his mother £400 expenses per visit :: Contractor UK

A shining example to all contractors.

And to think come April he won't even be able to claim T&S!

Jeez - I read it thinking it was some kind of tax fiddle, not just straight up abusing your elderly mother. What a dick.

You don't watch enough French porn, do you?

I did, through an agent (sorry, what's the term we use for them on here?), and now I'm not allowed to go direct with her for 6 months.


Which works out quite well because my doctor says the itching of the rash should have gone by then.

[covbob]

I've been invoiced by AndyW's mum.

"Judge Lush"

Sounds like a dodgy porn spoof based in Megacity One

[fullyautomatix]
