Makes me laugh when window cleaners say 'catching up with paperwork '🤣🤣🤣

Unless it's tax return time what the hell do you need to catch up on?

Totally agree here Daz, I don’t understand it either! I reckon I do around 2 minutes of book keeping a month! What is there to do?

I spend more time doing invoices, even then each invoice only takes 1 min or so.

Cleaner planner has been a massive time saver(along with electronic payments)over the last 10 years or so...

It takes me literally 30 mins a day admin(printing slips,emailing invoices,chasing debts,etc)the phone app is easy for updating expenses, updating payments,etc

I think I'll have more to do when MTD is implemented though as my accounts need to be entered into government approved software every 3 months...🙄

Why write the day off? Ive spent the morning catching up on paperwork, quotes, invoices, pay for insurances etc.

Dry now so off out to clean and decent sized office.

I've done a couple hours bookkeeping this morning.

It's only drizzling here now but was heavy till about 11.

I can't start at this time. If I'm not out by 9 I'm not off out.

Besides I'm off to shops with r lass now so that's my entertainment sorted  :D

What bookkeeping do you have to do?

I've never done 2 hours of bookkeeping in 31 years of window cleaning.even less since using cleaner planner....

I have a Ltd company and Its tax return time. I don't do any bookkeeping through the year but usually spend about 8 hours total sorting everything out end of year to send to my accountant.  I like to get all my income and outgoings reconciled up and get all my receipts together. I pretty much work out my own tax  before I send it to them.

Why can't you start at 11 or 12noon?you can still get 4 or 5 hours work cleaned(which is a normal day for me these days)

I do this on the odd occasion for whatever reason(weather,doc or dentist appointment,etc).

It's your mindset that you need to change....

Enjoy working friday Adam! ;D

Ah right...

I'm a sole trader and do my own tax return.its very simple for me.all my receipts and end of year accounts are in separate folders for each tax year.

All I need to do is input total turnover and expenses for that tax year.

Filling out my tax return and submitting it only takes around an hour every year..

You’ve answered your own question here then Daz. You do 30 mins admin a day, I do 2 hours admin a week.

Is that £3600 a year?
Handy when one has over 200 customers a month. I'm slowly getting to that figure and may need to think about changing my business. I am already starting to dump hard cleans and folk who mess me about with payment. I never thought it would happen to me but it all comes down to law of large numbers.

Is that fly fishing ?

I've done most forms of fishing but never been fly fishing...

I'm in a match angling phase at the moment with a local club

Aye fly fishing mate. I fish mostly on the river for browns and grayling, the odd time i will use the worm gear if ;D ;D the river is a bit out of sorts ;D
I used to do a lot of stillwater fly fishing but got a bit bored with catching stock rainbows ::)roll

Another rainy day....

So are you sacking the day off Adam to go shopping with the missus?🙄🤣

You must really hate your job!

I'm starting at 9am and I'll be finished by 2pm then a nice 3 days off.😎

Weather is horrific today, its a write off

These are the days that annoy me, mid week ones where i want to work but the weather is just daft.

Nothing to do apart from doss around the house or go mooch round the shops, done a couple hours on my accounts this morning but fed up of that now.

What to do, i just want to go to work, get done and have friday off instead im looking out the window  :'(

IMO you can't beat an afternoon gym session(around 3pm)after getting 2 good meals in.im usually at my strongest in the afternoon on days I don't work.💪

Think I’d rather work in the rain for free than sit on a canal bank trying to catch a few slimy fish just to put them back again…
