Tax return is filed! I made a pathetic £5,372 in 08/09, so it’s no wonder that I started this blog in January in an attempt to address the very serious issue of making more money.
I think I have at least four times that coming in this year, but I reckon at least half of that has been for materials, printing and travel and other expenses: it adds up so quickly. So that doubles my income at least – and takes me just above the poverty line, not bad for a blog.
The receipts since April this year have been piling up and I am collecting EVERY bloody THING: I had my finances investigated the first year I was self employed after my MA and that is not pretty. If I am picked to do that again, I will have to be much better prepared… especially given the increase in work and the fact that I will be putting expenses down for the first time.
Next year, the tax return gets done in April, it all gets too fluffy when you leave it so long!
