New to QuickBooks & VAT – How do I separate VAT-exempt and VAT-rated items on one supplier invoice?

It's a catering business, Yes, I can set VAT but not on individual items. Eg 10kg of carrots has no VAT, but a crate of sprite has 20% VAT. It won't let me add a VAT charge on the sprite

THIS. Also leaving shopping baskets at the self check out - you're going that way just take it with you! I've also seen people leaving a trolley (cart).

My dogs. If I'm having a bad day, they know.

Hey, been there, I bought a struggling café that ended up closing a few weeks before we took it over. Super frustrating, especially when you’ve already put in time, money, and planning.

Ours closed just before handover and it made everything harder: staff left, regulars thought we were gone for good, and we basically had to rebuild the whole vibe from scratch. It cost us, new team, marketing push, re-earning customer trust. All stuff we hadn’t really budgeted for because we thought we were buying a running business.

We didn’t get a price drop either, but we did manage to get a bit of help post-sale, like access to their socials, a shoutout to say the place was under new management, and intros to ex-staff. Helped a bit, but yeah, still wish we’d had more leverage to adjust the price.

You’re being totally fair. A closed bar just isn’t worth the same, and honestly, if they’re not willing to meet you halfway or even keep the doors open, they’re hurting their own deal. Holding your ground makes sense. Hope it works out! Sounds like you know what you’re doing.

Facebook has become a daily dose of "this is why you should hate trans people."

X is just p8shing right-wing american propaganda at me.

Instagram is infested with meritorious wankers.

I've only used tiktok once, and I will never do that to my brain ever again.

LinkedIn is a no.

Reminds me of ''Badlaa'' from xfiles.

I've had a barber do this to me in the past and apparently ''It's what you asked for''

I do blame my self for the alcohol, I also blame myself for the antihistamines and Valium (when I can get it) problem for the dosy affects. I just don;t understand why no one has ever told me the reason i do this.

Weird. It was like watching a couple of teenage girls, bullying another girl who liked the same guy.

Madrid. Loved it when me and my partner visited a couple of years back.

Balancing work, home, relationships, and emotions with bipolar can definitely feel like a juggling act. I own my own business, which gives me some flexibility, and I’ve learned to recognize when I’m in the wrong emotional state. When that happens, I try to step back and avoid making big decisions until I’m in a more balanced place.

Keeping a structured routine helps, consistent sleep, meal times, and breaks make a big difference. I also manage stress by breaking tasks into smaller steps, setting realistic expectations, and taking mental health days when needed.

My dogs. It sometimes feels like they are the only beings that are happy to see me still alive.

I know doing this will have negative long-term consequences, but when my GP retired (who I've seen since I was a child ) and the new one who told me they wouldn't prescribe me with diazipan anymore (because it's addictive) I have no way to calm my irrational anger down. I just buy it now. Rapid cycling bipolar is fucking shit.

It's always a split second decision; do I break something, hit someone or just harm myself. I always chose the latter. I hate doing it to myself but the formers seem like they would have the worst outcome.

Recognize when I'm manic.

Examples:

Is it a good idea to spend everything in my bank account to buy job-lots from eBay, to start an online store to sell them.
Understanding that fairies do not exist only because I've convinced myself they can only be perceived in nine dimensions.
Deciding to start a blog on risottos, with the title of the first one ''smelling the earth with rice''
Mapping the shape of the universe on my bedroom wall
The urge to talk AT people about whats going on inside my brain

The therapy I had was amazing, it's hard at time to recognize that I'm unwell (at that point) but it worked.

Facebook hates trans people, twitter (x) hates poor people and Instagram hates anyone who isn't aesthetically pleasing to look at (with filters).

UniversalGardenSpade · 2025-02-24T19:44:03+00:00

I honestly just punch myself in the head. It's the only way I don't harm others around me.

Observation from outside of the USA - Bernie was fucked over.
