Let me repeat my advice from a fortnight ago

Given what that other guy is doing - writing software to sell?

You are over thinking it.

The bill is for September 2019 - you pay it (if you aren't going to argue it) and attach it to this year's accounts.

I don't see a lot of investigations but I do see a lot of fishing trips similar to GSK to scare people into paying.

To be frank it sounds too much like hard work but I'll give you this for the next stage - packaging of the purchases to meet Amazon warehouse rules.

Mrs Eek is there now. Due to lack of permie holidays she is sadly working all day in her hotel room and then off to see the Clan play.

It's Sunday - World AIDS day has always been December 1st.

Don't you mean the 12th - if you vote on the 13th it's too late.
