Good morning everyone it's a bit cloudy this morning but it was such a beautiful sunny day yesterday that I really can't complain. I hope your weekend is going well everyone. Good timing on getting your washing dry Moonie.
Enjoy your day everyone 
Good morning all 
Hope all are sticking in.
Teed up for Marr. Better be good. I still question if he merits ÂĢ400k for one hours work.
Stay safe one and all.
If that's work
You could go to town on BBC salaries.
Yep, it is a year

Evening all
A lovely, sunny day so Mr Y got on with some painting outdoors.
Hope you have all had a good day 
night yogi moonsie summer( if you pop in)
Good morning everyone it's a bright morning. My goodness it got cold yesterday, such a contrast to the day before. Let's hope we all get some sunshine today.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Much brighter weather here than yesterday - even lillte bits of blue visible through the clouds and will be warmer. Yesterday's weather, as for Squiggle, was cold and total cloud cover.
Moonie, you were busy yesterday 
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning all
A cloudy day, up here.
There are ants in my house!!! In all the years we have lived here, this is the first time we have had ants in the house. Strangely, they are in the hall, where there is no food. I hate ants, this means war!!
Have a good day and stay safe, everyone

Oh, heck Yogi
I hope you manage to get rid of the ants soon 
Hectic day for me workwise. HMRC now have an online tool for their self-employment income support scheme which they launched today. People can check to see if they are potentially able to male a claim and register their contact details via that online tool. Doesn't say how much the grant is, that will be in the letter HMRC sends.
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/cl...ncome-support-scheme
has details about this.
Claim system not yet launched but I think the ability to claim will be spread over a few days from 13 May. That is presumably to stop a huge number of people trying to make claims all at the same time.
So I've been letting clients know about this today.

Well done on your splendid endeavours El

Thanks Moonie I think a lot of accountants have been doing much the same as I have - keeping clients informed on a regular basis to keep them informed. Advising them to set up a government gateway account whilst we wait for the scheme to go live. Some of my clients will have government gateway accounts anyway but quite a few won't. As I do their tax returns, they won't necessarily have set up such an account.
We were thinking that agents might be able to claim on behalf of clients (which is the case for the furlough grant claims) but HMRC decided against that for the self-employment income support claims. That was only announced by HMRC on Friday so that's why it's been a hectic Friday and Monday for me.

Your most welcome El 
I know you keep up the good work for your clients
Thanks gents. Only a couple of ants were seen this afternoon so hopefully that means the others have taken the âgelâ back to their nest and shared it with the rest.
You have been the busy bee today, El
Well done on getting your washing dried, Moonie.

Ta-ta to you pesky ants 
Fankoo
night yogi moonsiesummer if you are around
Good morning everyone it's a little cloudy this morning and we are due some rain.
Good luck with the ant battle Yogi. I've heard that they send out 'scouts' to check out the lie of the land. If they come back then the whole nest moves in!
Enjoy your day everyone

These are the ones, Moonie
Good morning everyone
A lovely sunny start to the day
Squiggle, I think you are right about the ants sending out advance party scouts.
I am happy to report there was not a single ant in the hall this morning so I am hopeful that the gel has worked but I shall continue to put it down for a few days, just to be sure.
Have a good day and stay safe, everyone
