Well have you made any? I have decided to invest in George, I'm fed up with using my Christmas holidays to frantically get my books in to the accountant before the deadline.
I did the same last year, putting it off till the last minute. My books are ready and are going in today, but I can do without this last minute stress.

I may be posting for help with GEORGE in the very near future, I'm a bit of an idiot when it comes to this kind of thing.

Yea, to ignore the trolls   

funny enough i'm similar, the idiotic posts i'm going to try and ignore

[Clive McDonald]

Apart from dai what a lot of negatives. New years resolutions are brilliant.

I've bought a great thick book excell 2003 for dummies and am determined to learn to use the programme better. I'm not bad, but i read some of shiners comments and i am no where near in his league.

To get fit again. I've always been fairly fit (pretty useless at sport though) and need to get back some of my youthfull vigour.

As regards ignoring trolls well if you think i was sent to infuriate i can tell you i wasn't. I come on here to learn.

Lose weight and get fitter.

[Clive McDonald]

A lot of the things i have real interest in have been sorted.

  I have to say Discount, some of your old posts were very hard to understand and i had a picture of you in my mind (it wasn't nice)  However lately i think you've mellowed and i actually understand the majority of your posts. Took a while to get used to you but no, your not a troll. 

[matt]

Lose weight and get fitter.

i think i might lose 1 stone after i get back to fitness after my hernia op

though it might be closer to 1 and 1/2 stone if i have to sit around for too long

i still have 2 big tins of quality street, 1 tin of roses and 1 tin of hero's , aswell as various tins of biscuits and box's of choc's  : : they will have to get eaten first 

[Clive McDonald]

Thanks. Some are too sensitive. Just because i'm friendly and then attack an idea, it's hardly ever personal.

Matt's got me thinking because I haven't made any silly posts, two tier forum,panel to overide mike and disipline mods.Not before time.

Hot system, electric reel. Ahead of it's time.

Pole dancer wc magazine.

Read business books.

Stick with me ftp i could teach you lots.

Malc chuck the heroes in the bin they are rubbish.

[mark dew]

Using software is a great time saver.

discount, are you trying anything specific with excel?
I also use excel. It's a very powerful program but i just scrape the surface with my accounts.
My one isn't super but it has a bit of conditional formatting which comes in handy showing who has paid. I also had the monthly templates linked to the yearly accounts and expenditure work sheets. These linked automatically but i soon disabled them because i couldn't figure out how to get it to work as hassle free as i'd hoped.
If you want a copy of a template, email me and i will send you one.

[Clive McDonald]

I use george. And that will always be better than me and excel even if i studied for a year.

I've noticed that you are are quite bright Mark so perhaps you can see how frustrating it is for me not to be an excel master. I only got a computer when broadband came in.

excel is great for doing books. Prior to this i used pencil and paper templates, one investigator saying that my books were amongst the clearest he'd ever seen. A few years on and i found myself up against the revenues cash flow programme which found a negative value of a few hundred for a couple of days. You'd have thought they'd  cracked the da vinci code the way they went on.

As on this forum, some arguments it's better to lose graciously but the cheeky blighters did want an alarming amount of money off me.

I'm keen that this sort of misunderstanding shouldn't happen again so i need just a few templates to make my books very clear and extremly watertight.I am basing them mainly on the info and groupings asked for on the online assesment. Once these are established they will be very easy to keep up to date.

Your template looked very good by the way.

[seandyer2003]

My resolutions, not necessarily for new year but i was recently starting on them any way

For window cleaning:

1. Keep work on time, no excuses
2. Chase up monies owed quick, no leaving it
3. Compact round, work on houses in immediate areas
4. Get to the amount per month i am happy with, im only a few hundred quid away

Away from window cleaning i am cycling coast to coast uk, st bees - robin hoods off road so i am doing ALOT of mountain biking again, so i am trying to stay way from alcohol, bad food, and get on the bike 3-4 times a week

and complete my web design course

Thats about it

[pjulk]

My new years resolution is to have more holiday.
I have not been abroad now for two years so i will make sure i do this year.

And also do thing more often i enjoy doing.
Life is to short to work all the time so i intend making the most of it.

[peter holley]

mine is to be happy
