Great
I actually have some tax to come back as the tax man overcharged me fo the tax year 2009/2010.
Even better Gorgeous is getting even more money back.
I had to go back to the doctors today to get the results of my recent blood test.
Thankfully everything appears to be fine.
Joke for today:- The only thing that stops him from being a barefaced liar is his moustache.

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"
On this day:- 28th January
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 most expensive 5 pence
The man came out to look at the washing machine which was giving us trouble.
Eventually found the problem.
A 5 pence piece had got lodged in the pump.
Wow that was the most expensive 5p piece we have ever had.
It cost us over £100 to put the machine right!
Mind you I was a little put out because the quote was for £88 but the repair man charged more because he had some difficulty with the door and getting the washing machine out.
Never mind it is only money!
Owen the springer spaniel is moping around. I think he is missing Gorgeous who is still in Malaysia.
She seems to be having a successful business trip.
Techno is helping me with my internet business which is going very well.
Joke for today:- Why was the farmer hopping mad? Someone stepped on his corn.

The Trip to Malaysia
Gorgeous has arrived for her business trip in Malaysia.
She certainly seems to be enjoying herself. Very positive about both Malaysia and her job.
Mind you I was surprised when I looked up the telephone books I have and there was no mention of international dialling codes. Plenty of adverts!
I had to ring directory enquiries. First number I rang they couldn't help me and I was directed to another number.
Oh wasn't life far less complicated in my youth. You could get information without being persuaded to part with your hard earned cash in other areas.
It's a bit like mobile phones. All I want a phone for is to ring people if I need to contact them.
No I don't need to know what the temperature will be in Western Australia tomorrow or to play some childish game!
Enough of my rant.
Let's have a joke:- A doctor tells a woman she musn't touch anything alcoholic.So she gets a divorce.
On this day:- January 20th
In 1936 King George V died.Edward VIII becomes king.
In 1896 George Burns was born and in 1930 Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin followed him

How ridiculous!
A gentleman in Bedford in the UK lost his cat.
As many other people do in these circumstances he printed off some posters which he then went and tied around lamp-posts and trees.
He then got a phone call from the local council accusing him of causing "urban decay"
So he agreed to take them down but the next day he received a letter telling him he would receive a £1000 fine if not taken down by 9am on the 24th December.
As he didn't receive this letter until 20.30 on the 8th December he had to rush round at night to remove the posters.
How thoughtless of the council especially since many of them have not collected the rubbish over the holidays.
Hey will they be fined £1000?
Unfortunately the cat is still missing.
Joke for today:- The optimist says the glass is half full and the pessimist says the glass is half empty. The engineer says the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Aqua Sheko
When I went to Westfields at Derby recently I was fascinated watching people having the dead
skin on their feet being eaten off by fish
No the fish aren't piranha but little Garra Rufa fish fron Kangal Lake in Turkey.
Apparently the fish therapy is a holistic treatment that gives a smooth overall glow.
I think I will pass especially since I have terrible nails on my large toes caused by football
injuries.
Thought for today: Do you know any fishy stories!
Joke for today:- see above!!

Christmas Presents
Because of the bad weather we have had recently many Christmas presents ordered on line are held up in courier warehouses as deliveries have been difficult.
My son Chris works for a well known courier company and they have been on the receiving end of many irate customers.
Unfortunately there is little they can do except axcept the abuse!
Chris then comes home and helps me with my internet business www.johnbeaumontcashmachine.com/bootcamp so he gets very tired.
Thought for today:- Are you sympathetic to the problems of others?
Todays joke:- Waiter there's a fly in my soup.That's not a fly that's a vitamin bee.

A Carol Service
Last night I was invited to a carol service by The Loughborough Students Union.
It was held at a local church and was brilliant. There must have been well over a
hundred young people there and the singing was awsome. Raised the hairs on the back
of the neck.
It was so nice to see young people thoroughly enjoying themselves without the use of
alcohol or drugs!
A really great evening.
Chris is still helping me with the new website for my internet business.
Joke for today:- What happens when you cross a librarian with a lawyer? You get all the information you want but can't understand it!
On this day:- 15th December
In 1892 Jean Paul Getty was born.
In 1832 Eiffel who built the tower was born
In 1916 the battle of Verdun ended after 700,000 soldiers were killed.

Internet Marketing
I'm buzzing ahead with my internet marketing business.
There is so much going on at present I'm having trouble keeping up but it's worth it.
Should settle down shortly.
There is a lot going on with The Six Figure Mentors Group and lots of exciting new information.
I'm in the process of setting it all up so watch this space!
In the meantime if you want some good information as to how to build your business then go to http://www.johnbeaumontcashmachine.com/bootcamp.
Very worthwhile

Going on holiday?
I received and have put out to my internet marketing list some interesting thoughts about holiday planning.
It's interesting how just before we go on holiday most of us make lists so that we are sure we have done everything that needs to be done before we go.
You know like cancel the papers check the passport is in order etc.
It seems to work quite well doing this list.
So why don't we do this all the time?
If we make a list of 6 things we must do the next day before we go to bed and then look at this list the next morning and ensure we complete everything we can before the day is out we start to create a great new habit.
It is estimated that after 20 days the new habit is so ingrained we become much more productive.
Make sense to me!
Thought for today. Are you going to try it?
Joke for today: Parent to child. What did you learn at school today? Child. Not enough I have to go back tomorrow.
On this day:- June 24th
In 1876 it was Custer's last stand!
In 1990 the first two women Angican priests were ordained

Are we allowed to take enough risks?
Hi friends
Are we allowed to take enough risks in life? The reason I ask is that last week a cadet on a sailing ship unfortunately died after falling from the rigging. Very sad.
However I think that todays youth do not get enough opportunity to test themselved because of the 'elf and safety brigade.
When I was at school in the 1950's I joined the cadet force. Initially we spent a year in the army detachment before we could choose to either stay on the army side or transfer to the navy or airforce branches.
During the first year we went on quite realistic army excercises which included being issued with live ammunition. We had live firing on full scale long range butts. When not firing we were based underneath the targets with pointers to show whoever was firing where their bullet went. Very exciting for a fourteen year old!
The following years I went to sea when on annual camp. This involved climbing up a rope ladder in the middle of the ocean from a small boat onto a frigate. The sea was quite choppy as well.
One time we climbed up onto HMS Blackpool. This was in 1958 and Blackpool was a brand new frigate at the time just undergoing her sea trials. Whilst we were on her she fired her brand new anti submarine mortars for the first time. These were the latest state of the art weapons then so just before they fired them we were all told to flatten ourselves face down on the deck in case bits of metal flew off.
I don't think that many youngsters get the same opportunities today.
Still I now get excitement from building my internet business whoisjohnbeaumont.com instead.
Thought for today. Did you take any exciting (but legal/moral) risks today?
Joke for today:- Last week I replaced every window in my house. Then I discovered I had a crack in my glasses.
On this day 10th May:- In 1849 troops opened fire on a rioting crowd in Ney York killing 22 people.
In 1940 Winston Churchill became Prime Minister replacing Chamberlain
In 1863 Stonewall Jackson died from wounds obtained from friendly fire
