Where is my accountant?

Hi there

I'm getting a bit concerned today as I still haven't heard back from my accountant.

In the UK we have to pay any tax owing by the end of January or face a £100 fine.

My accountant had my books back in October 2010 so had plenty of time to work things out.

Anyrate I am now on tenderhooks waiting to see if I will have to pay any further tax.

Actually I don't think I will because I had a fair bit of repair work done on one of my properties during the last tax year and this is offset against any profit so I should be ok.

Just annoying that I still haven't got any answers yet despite chasing him up.

Gorgeous got back safely from Malaysia yesterday evening.

She is very tired but it seems to have been a very successful business trip.

Techno put a new article on my blog John Beaumont-Online Business Thoughts.
Only just started this new blog and so far not many people have found it.

Still early days yet and there is/will be a lot of useful information on it.

Joke for today:- A man is walking down a dark alley when a stranger approaches him "Please sir, could you spare some money for a man down on his luck. All I have in the world is this little gun"

In 1986 America's space shuttle Challenger exploded killing all 7 people on board including teacher Christa McAuliffe. (I remember exactly where I was when I heard this on my car radio)

In 1935 Iceland was the first country to make abortion a legal operation

The Silent Witness

I saw the second part of Silent Witness last night which I thoroughly enjoyed.

This programme has been running for some time now and I thought was getting a little stale.

However I am delighted that the new series seems to be the best ever.

Really good with excellent story lines and nice little twists at the end.

Yesterday I had a phone call from the agents looking after my property at Sunderland.

The boiler has gone wrong and really needs to be replaced at a price of £850. Ouch!

I'm a little annoyed since the current boiler was supposed to be new back in 2006 but I think the then agents put in a second hand boiler.

Never mind it's only money.

Techno put in a new blog for me last night.

It's called John Beaumont-Online Business Thoughts.

This is a blog which showcases some of the many online articles which I have previously published.

Feel free to visit if interested.

I've now heard from Gorgeous that she has arrived in Malaysia ok.

She seems to have had quite a good journey but is obviously very tired.

I will catch up with her later.

Joke for today:- Did you hear about the farmer who won an award? He was outstanding in the field.

In 1736 James Watt of steam engine fame was born and in 1807 Robert E Lee entered the world followed in 1809 by Edgar Allan Poe
