You will recall my much valued agent and friend Maggie Noach died unexpectedly last November. I am still dealing with the on-going dealing-with-that, if you follow me.

Today brings a letter telling me my much valued accountant is so ill, he's retiring with immediate effect, all work suspended etc. From the letter it's apparent there has been an earlier letter telling me he's ill which I never recieved - Oxfordshire's truly abysmal postal services doubtless doing their thing again.

So I'd quite like to know what's wrong with aforesaid accountant who as well as being very efficient numbers man has been reader, enthusiast, supplier of helpful thoughts and stuff well outside his official purview.

And I need to find a new accountant who is clued up about authors' affairs and single person limited companies which is how I operate - not as easy as you might think. My accountant is also my company secretary, so that's another complication.

Also rather than simply posting off the monthly update as per routine and the VAT return that arrived yesterday, I shall need to be getting all the info together to complete the blasted VAT form myself. Coz you don't mess with the VAT man.

I try to be a good person. I do my best to be a good mother. I'm kind to animals. I recycle. What have I done to deserve this kind of karmic kicking?
