Getting quotes always seems so difficult. If they’re too busy to take on the work, they should say so, rather than keeping folk waiting on the costings and then potentially waiting on the actual work. :facepalm:

This guy is a family member 😟

 

Done giving his number out…that has to be said

That's why I never do private work for family, well except helping mum & dad out with the paperwork in the past, but otherwise no formal engagement. I might say 'this is what you need to do based on what you've told me' but not get involved in the minutiae.

Tax for my sins (gamekeeper many many years ago turned poacher) :laugh1:

Probably not the forum, but I have no problem with tax people. If everyone paid their taxes properly, especially those who can well afford it, there would be enough money in the pot to allow for easier access to support for people that need it. It's lovely and heartwarming that this whole thing has showcased  generosity of spirit and community like it has but it also only came about because the support systems are not adequate. I know it's not a direct correlation but still, I think making sure people pay what is fair is far from something that should be looked down on. And, before you ask, I am not a traffic warden or an estate agent 🤣

I agree with all of that.  And for what it's worth (Albeit I am a Treasurer not an accountant), I was only picking up on the instinct to round numbers to neatness!

Indeed. I still have good dealings with some that I have direct contact with, but I also know of a few from back in the day who were utter b'stards. It must also be said that the system nowadays is a joke, but again that's a different thread. I only come here for a warm happy glow :)

I must resist the urge to donate £3.57 right at the last minute!

£3.57, not 3.57p
