Good morning everyone 
At present there's some blue sky here, but the forecast is for a wet and windy spell of weather.
Yogi, I hope you have a good couple of days with the tiddlers 
A client meeting this morning, should be straightforward.
I hope everyone has a good day 
Good morning everyone, a very wet morning here. I hope you have a lot of fun with the wee ones Yogi.
Enjoy your day everyone

We have had a cold day here today. This evening seems like itâs going to get even cold
Time to dig out my super duvet I think
Have a great evening everyone
Hi Moonie
Definitely time for the warmer duvet
Hi Yogi
I put my upgraded duvet on last night and I was as snug as a bug in a rug 
Moonie, I'm glad that you were warmer last night
Squiggle, I hope the weather improves for you 
It's rainy here but, so far, not heavy.
Client meeting went OK and I've got her papers and spreadsheet to do her accounts. On the way back I had to stop at the lights at a busy roundabout as they had just turned red, The driver in the car behind me wasn't concentrating and bumped (lightly) into the back of my car. One of those cases were that driver was 100% responsible. No visible damage though I've got her details. I've checked that all the lights are working as they should and got the tyres checked to be on the safe side.
The local news pages on the BBC website seem to have changed. On the news top page there's a tab for local news. Clicking on that goes to a page of stories based on the distance from your selection that you can control. This is assuming that you are logged in and that you've got a location selected. There's no longer any mention of which location you've opted for unless you go on the local news page or the weather forecast.
Good morning everyone
Lots of blue sky and cold here.

Good morning everyone, pretty similar weather to yours I think EL, but a nice morning and to see blue skies is always cheering.
Enjoy your day everyone
Apparently as part of the new bus station at Gloucester the council are considering getting a stained glass window made by Tom Denny. He's made stained glass windows at various cathedrals around the country.
The huge issue for this is vandalism. Sadly it's not an if but a when.
Good morning everyone.
Weather was bright with blue sky on the way to PBâs nursery this morning but it has clouded over.
Sleepover was shorter than usual as son is going to be around to mind the children. I dropped off PB at nursery then dropped off BB at home.
We had a fun time last night watching Trolls movie on dvd, snuggled up together in the âowlâ bed. (Christmas bedding will be going on for the next sleepover)
PB has obviously seen the film a lot of times before as she not only knew the words to all the songs, she knew most of the script. BB was funny, when the songs came on he stood up in the bed to dance. He loves music and dancing.
El, the sheep story is interesting, especially as further research might help with diseases like Parkinsonâs and Huntingtonâs
I really hope the stained glass window wonât get vandalised.
Moonie, good to hear you were warm and cosy with your winter weight quilt on.
Squiggle, I hope your blue skies stay with you for the rest of the day.
I hope Summer is having a fab time with her friends and relatives
Have a good day everyone.

Thanks El I knew in advance it was going to be a shorter visit -not sure PB was too happy about it
After a week's delay from the huge client I've now got the information I was waiting for. So it's all systems go. Will take me several days to go through. Client made some postings to the original data without telling me until this afternoon. So I've spent the bulk of the afternoon working out the effect of thos postings and amending all my workings for that. Although the amounts involved are small, I have to change my workings otherwise it will cause differences between the official accounts and the client's accounting records. I've made a note of the time spent on this as I will be charging them extra.

Yogi, itâs a shame your PB BB visit was foreshortened but at least you enjoyed their company and they yours

yes yogi -they are totally dire
night yogi summer if you pop in
Good morning everyone.
Weather is dry and chilly atm.
Do you find there are peaks and troughs on the volume of work you have, El, especially with last minute panickers when deadlines approach?
I think we are going to Costco today - if Mr Yogi doesnât change his mind
Have a good day, everyone.
Yogi, yes, there are times of the year where there's not much work to do and others such as at present where it's busy. I don't do lots of overtime though and although I'm busy it's well under control. I have already told the smaller clients and they are relaxed about it. The deadline for the huge job is well before the deadline for people's tax returns. The reason for not doing loads of overtime is that if you are tired you are more likely to make errors which is not good if you are doing tax returns.
The deadline for tax returns is 31 January so quite some time to go for those. Although I do have some clients who are always latish, it's only a small number. There's only one of them where there's an additional complex factor this year. I asked for the information months ago and have yet to receive anything. If he turns up with the information too late then I'll tell him that his return won't get filed by the deadline.
Good morning everyone, guess what it's raining again! I will have to check and see if I'm getting webbed feet Do you still find it satisfying to get all the figures neatly added up EL? That's how I found it when I did the bookkeeping part of my secretarial course.
Enjoy your day everyone
Moonie, only if I had hedgehogs and squirrels for clients. Looking at HMRC's list of acceptable reasons for late tax returns there's no mention of hibernation being regarded as acceptable
On a more serious note, HMRC don't regard as an acceptable reason where a tax payer says that their accountant has let them down. That might be different if the accountant had suddenly become incapacitated or died shortly before the deadline if the tax payer could show that they had been timely with providing the accountant with the necessary information. It's considered a good idea for professional accountants to have emergency cover should such an event occur but obviously there would always be a delay as a result. People to do tax returns but aren't members of a professional accountancy organisation are less likely to have any emergency cover.
I eventually got back from that client meeting which went on rather longer than I had hoped. She was trying to find things like P60s and interest certificates, What she had set aside for me was payslips and interest certificates from previous years. Eventually as a last resort after looking through things I found them.
In a pile of papers she had marked as "not for accountant"

Just a thought El 
Hi Buddies.
Mr Yogi did not change his mind, so the trip to Costco went ahead.
Middle son and DiL joined us.
El, I would think your clients are very happy to have you as their accountant. I know I would be.
Squiggle, with all the rain weâve had, Iâm thinking of building a boat - then you can come aboard.
Moonie, I hope you didnât get blown away when you were out and about.
Hope you are all having a good day.
