What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 528
I believe really that this time it is week 528. I actually believed it was 527 last week, but had a fat fingered keyboard moment and you were so nice about it that I didn’t even think to make a correction! So, a bit more of the same from me today, a slightly tidy desk, just to facilitate what I was actually doing.If you’re a Brit, and self employed or super rich, you may recognise the printed version of a tax return on my desk. Obviously, that means that I am either self employed or super rich, and I’m pretty sure you know which best describes me! It’s actually phase two of my returns period. Phase one involves a year end and return for the business. I know, it’s riveting. Apart from the admin stuff though, the desk will be party to workshop preparation today, and some scrapbooking preparations too. You’re probably shocked by the use of the word preparation, I don’t do it for scrapbooking usually! I’m taking part in a challenge and I have to make my own version of someone else’s LO. Simple enough, except the only way I can do that this week is to make, MAKE, my own frames and embellishments. Blimey. You won’t hear the end of this for a while, be warned! So whilst my desk isn’t showing ‘it’, I hope yours is. Let’s see.
Morning Julia. Hope you get the tax stuff out of the way soon so you can get on with preparations. Look forward to seeing your finished layout. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
ReplyDeleteWell, I am a Brit, but not a self employed one (nor have I ever been) and I certainly am not rich, never mind super rich, so I haven't seen those tax returns before. Good job, I'd be in a tizzy with one to fill in.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the workshop prep, I always do too much, just in case - and with the LO which I wouldn't have a clue where to start. So dear Julia rabbit on as long as you like to me, I will never tire of hearing you talking of the frames and embellishments - afterall, I can rabbit with the best of them so join me.
Hugs, Neet 1 (only because I have had a sleepless night - tinnitus would you believe! xxx
Well I've only seen them at work from clients ... hope it will soon be off your desk and "filed" and you can move on to workshop prep and the scrapbooking challenge. off back to bed for a bit before I decide how to spend today!
ReplyDeleteTax returns....shivers...good luck with that though I know they hold no fear for you! Brave gal. Making your own embellishment sounds a step too far for me though I suppose it is meant to be a challenge...good luck!
ReplyDeleteHugs LLJ 5 xx
Oh poor you, Julia, having to do tax stuff. I absolutely hate having to do anything with money and I’m not very good at it (except the spending part, of course!) - the only reason it’s my job in this household is that I am marginally better at it than my hubby! I hope we will get to see your DIY embellishments. It sounds an interesting challenge and well within your capabilities, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW,

Did I say we are retiring next year and that’s definite. No more returns, VAT, procedures, method statements, hazard identifications or any of the other paraphernalia that the government demand of us. Yee haa !!!! Roll on March 2020
ReplyDeleteYuck.. I remember those forms when Hubby was Self employed along with annual meetings with the accountant and scrambling around looking for any missed receipts. You will have such fun making those embellishments and frames Julia, that's something to take the mind of that mind numbing read of a form.
ReplyDeleteGlad the #527 or was it #528 is sorted out... I was beginning to think my madness key had been turned up a notch hee hee!!
Happy WoywW & make sure there are plenty of refreshments inbetween form filling times. Hugs Tracey #8?
Every time I do my tax returns I promise to keep my books up to date to make it easier for the next time but nope it never happens. Good luck with yours.

Hi Julia, thank goodness I don't have to do anything like that anymore. Good luck with the tax returns, rather you than me but maybe it wont be for too long Lol! Good luck with the crafty stuff too and pleased we're back to the right date again. Sending happy woyww thoughts, Angela x13x
ReplyDeleteMorning hope everyoe good this sunny day, Thank you Julia for letting us look round all the worldwide desks

Hope the tax return is easily sorted. My desk is empty today! xx Jo
ReplyDeleteHope the tax stuff gets sorted nicely. Enjoy the challenge of the layout - it certainly sounds more of a challenge than some! I look forward to seeing it at some point. Happy WOYWW. Have a lovely week, with love & God Bless, Caro xxx (#14)
ReplyDeleteUgh tax returns - horrid memories from when I was renting out property! I hope you soon get them finished and then on to the fun - hope we get to see the frames and embellishments too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,
Hugs, Diana xx #18
Ooh, making your own frames and embellishments sounds exciting - hope there's more to come. Challenges are great for giving us a push on the back side LOL and make us do things out of our comfort zone. I will be linking up later if I can get my act together. xx
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I have seen this type of tax return but I live in the US. My husband was self employed and He would do this too. Making your own frames and other embellishments can be a bit of work but I'm sure you are up for the task. Good luck on that!

Hi Julia, Sounds like you will be kept out of mischief with your 'preparations':) LOL
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the forms.
Hope you have a happy WOYWW

Well Julia, I’m back at a seemingly traditional spot for moi of #22 yet again, becoming rather a habit actually. Until winter is over and our times (yours and ours) change back ‘tis the way it will be.
ReplyDeletePreparing, preparations, were mentioned a number of times, so that’s good.. crafty site especially.
Don’t think the super rich actually sight or write in a tex return but have an accountant or dogsbody to sort that for them!
Will be in bed early tonight, again, it’s been cold and I’ve a cold so means earlier to bed.
Thanks for being a blessing in running this so wonderful hop each week, may God bless you too.
Hugs, Shaz in Oz.x #22

ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteI have not so fond memories of when my ex-husband was self employed, and trying to keep on top of his 'books'. Thankfully Mr M is capable of sorting out his own tax affairs. I'm just left managing the household budget. Good luck with getting the tax return completed quickly, and then free to concentrate on your layout. I read last weeks post too - have no idea what Perspextives are ... time for Google to enlighten me! Have a lovely week, Heather #11
The weather is much too nice to work taxes... hope you get it all done and can enjoy the sunshine and the rest of the week Julia! Hug from Holland. Marit #20
ReplyDeleteAh, Julia! That time of year again. Those dreaded tax returns - the joys of the self-employed. Happily I'm no longer self-employed and I'm not super rich either - HMRC makes it so easy to be a pensioner by taxing at source! The challenge sounds, well, challenging - making embellishments is one thing but making frames too!!! You'll probable rise to the challenge beautifully and enjoy it too. Hugs, Elizabeth x #24
ReplyDeleteGood morning! I love the clean desk! Dorlene #29
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, eye test all done, and I can now see clearly enough to type! Nice tidy desk, I'm sure the tax return is totally riveting, lol. Hope you get the embellies made, sounds like you'll be a busy bunny this week. Love & hugs,
ReplyDeleteShaz #16 XxXxX
well, I am not a brit or super rich but, our forms here look a little different :) I am impressed you are making frames and embellies for your page :) ~Stacy #30
ReplyDeleteI am so glad my hubby does all the taxes - it's way beyond my comfort zone! Have fun with the scrapbooking page, I hope it goes well! Have a great week, Lindart #31
ReplyDeleteHi Julia. Hope you don't mind me joining up again. Hope you get those dammed tax returns done and out the road. Desk looks fabulous though. Hugs Rita xxxx
ReplyDeleteOh no, the dreaded T word!! Our oldest son does our taxes, he was a tax preparer in his previous job but still does family taxes. I do have to do spread sheets of all the appropriate expenses and make copies of so much to send to him.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you get your LO done! That almost sounds more difficult!
Have a great week!
