    Diabetes

    My observation is that proper exercise like running munches sugar and carbs. So sedentary people need to avoid all carbs and sugar. If you run marathons then its not the same. I saw an interesting interview with a Team Sky nutritionist. They have a base level of low carbs for rest days and...

    Diabetes

    Sounds great. The only problem I had in your position was maintaining it. Easy for a year or two. Not so easy for 40 years! (in my case). So i would try and find a regime that you are happy with for life! My wife thinks i should relax and take the metformin but I am still managing without 6...

    How much should a bookkeeper/accountant cost me?

    This is the way it is going............ Hourly rates are getting a bit old fashioned. Look at receipt bank. Or Accountants that use autoentry. The input of the purchase invoices can be automated. However an accountant is going to be paying for software to do this. And the time for a competent...

    Filing Annual accounts - Very low turnover

    Excellent. How did you find it? We are an accountancy firm so have software internally but for very small Companies I think this sort of thing is going to be the way forward.

    Best UK Wordpress Host

    Sure. I will move to a wordpress host. And employ people to help me on a freelance basis. In a previous life I did work in a team that managed 500 big Unix servers, firewalls across Europe, a big SAN etc. So I'm not afraid of a bit of technology!

    Best UK Wordpress Host

    PS we tried caching on our current host and then there were irritating problems like menus not ever changing etc so we turned it off. I suspect we could do better......

    Best UK Wordpress Host

    Not much!! So I suspect you will tell me design is more important than host speed. But anyway landing page loading time is very important I think for us! We are doing ok on google adwords. So critical thing is page loads fast. And then people call or email us! So fast. Good supprt. That's all!

    Moving from Freeagent to Xero

    I have a certificate that says I am Xero migration certified. Whatever that means...... To my mind you need to decide if you want history in your new system. The most straightforward way to do it is choose a year end (or vat quarter end if its ages to the year end). Then put all the balances in...

    Looking for an Accountant

    I am a director of an Accountancy firm. I am genuinely interested in how you think people should handle their accounts and corporation tax. I tried to help someone use the Companies House site a while ago to file accounts and CT and it was terrible! I think Xero and Instafile might be a better...

    Diabetes

    I eat four eggs a day. When I was originally diagnosed I went from 100kg to 85kg. Four eggs a day. Cholesterol plummeted! Got a lecture from my GP about eating too much protein!! Moved GPs.......
