small self-indulgent freelancer grumble, please look away now:

media outlets, you don't need your own invoice templates. "You owe me £70, here are my bank details" scrawled in lipstick on a napkin should get the point across. It is a needless hoop for freelancers to jump through

if you need a certain format for filing – copy it across! You know your paperwork system better than me! It will be easier for you and we won't need four rounds of "oh you need to fill in section 8d, yes that's your body mass index divided by your generalised anxiety test score"
