I've had to make two business trips this week, to Derbyshire and then Yorkshire. Catching up on my workload today was a pain but then I tried to make my expense claim. How hard do companies make you work for what they owe you?!

Only after spending half an hour adding my car details and photographing/emailing myself my receipts do I find I'm only allowed £5 for lunch. A simple sandwich, bag of salt n vinegar and a brew at a motorway services is twice that... And I also now know I can only claim £25 for dinner, but if you're in a hotel miles from anywhere and have one pint and the cheapest main course it always costs more than that. And no, I don't have a recent VAT receipts for petrol and the 15p per mile I'm allowed means I now have to claim the rest of the allowable 45p from HMRC in April....

It was so much easier when I was a contractor!
