Right, I know today isn't the last day of the month but no bank work gets done over the weekend so I'm counting my May as over.
Earned an extra £12.43 this month which brings my total for this year to £67.75
Doubt next month will be quite as good as book sales have slowed down. Need to hurry up and write the second volume to get more cash.0 -

Corrected some initial figures and added on some new details:
1. £20 refund from insurance company due to them making an administration error.
2. £20 from a survey reward site.
3. £50 from selling my old bike that has literally been lying up in the shed rusting for at least 15 years.
4. £25 payment due to an error with my bank account.
5. £150 payment due to a refund being held from me for over one year.
6. Sold a small batch of toys - £15.
7. HCs - £5.
Total thus far - £285.
Completely fell apart on this and some of the above need revised:
1. £20 refund from insurance company due to them making an administration error.
2. £40.50 from a survey reward site.
3. £25 payment due to an error with my bank account.
4. £150 payment due to a refund being held from me for over one year.
5. £15 negotiated discount from my car insurance.
Total - £250.50, I suppose it's money I may not have had otherwise.0
