Thank you whitelabel, I am new to moneysaver and already a huge fan. I am a full time mum trying to get some extra cash, and want to give ms a go....don't understand very much about record keeping so I wondered if any of you could help.

Seriously?

:rotfl:

clearly you should have asked their name and no doubt national Insurance number to confirm exactly who they are :cool:

I got the equivalent of the gapburger floorshow in a bank today. Very, very odd indeed. Have reported it to the MS company as possibly suspicious although I suppose I could just have been lucky enough to meet the world's most proactively helpful bank teller. But why would someone give me a business card and tell me to come in any time I was passing when I only wanted to pay in a small amount of cash?!?

There's a lot of information on record keeping here:
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/sa/rec-keep-self-emp.htm

Have a read of that and you should be able to set up your own spreadsheet and record keeping system. I built my own system to suit me.

I would send it back and say could you elaborate on this question please?

I wonder if they are beginning to work out the scenario because I had one say to me "oh have I got the right bank account? You have just put some money in up the road, is that right? I just said I'd forgotten something else I wanted to pay online so I'm adding more and she seemed satisfied but I definitely agree they are becoming aware.

I am sure they know the scenario, I have done the same one over and over again for months. If the Ms company can't be bothered to vary the scenario then why should I worry that the reports have little value.

Not quite as bad as shopping a Grassroots bank on Grassroots payday, busted big time.
