paper work day

[GMES]

A couple of months ago I started a thread about dedicating 1 day a week to staying home and doing paperwork.
Just to let you know it didn't go to plan, so now I have been forced to take today off to complete a mountain of certs, online payments, and general catch up.
So I shouldn't really be talking too you lot, but I can't help myself, so if people can say hello during the day it will keep my morale up.
Cheers lads ps, don't tell our lass I am on here or I'm done for!!

I am in the same boat, my book keeper is coming today so I need to spend a few hours with her before I can get out to work.

I got my paperwork up to date last weekend.:angel_smile:
May sound good but it took the two weeks before that to do as it was very very behindhand.:sad:
Now at least I can keep up with it, just.:computer:
Unfortunately I now know how much money I did not make last year:detective:!

Good luck with the p/work GMES, even though I know you will not be on here!!:sleep1::nono::willy_nilly:

I used to be a PT grants assessor, and also work with them when they used to (long time ago, now) collaborate with the Youth Offenders / Probation teams doing rehab for the hard core deprived long-term unemployed etc. Good on you for making the grade and finding it a success. :clap:

I'm still here although I am losing the will to live, filling certs out is soul destroying. but I suppose this is what we sign up for!!

I find doing some paperwork each day is best. Especially when out comes to certs and notifications.
Which cert software do you use?

I tried having admin days, but they get derailed by paying customers and hence my approach to doing a bit each day.

I use quick books pro so as long as everything is up to date it's a really good business tool. I've even taught my misses how to look up customer details on it!

Hi Murdoch I'm juggling a few at the minute and can't choose one/ icertifi, some editble ones Glennspark sent me and just trying to install powersuite to work with my megger 1730.
If I can get away with it sometimes I just write them by hand, but this lot need inputting and typing.

 

[HappyHippyDad]

So for the first half of your paperwork day you managed to make 7 posts, start 2 threads and sell an Ipad! Not bad...

I use PIRform and really like the way it adds the ref number to c1, c2, or c3.

It costs, but off used correctly Will save you money and add a professional image to your business
