I just agreed to do one too, mines also the first week - the 18th - never done one before, so a little unsure, but at least its a shop I normally buy things from.... Good luck with urs Candyblue

MS is fun but don't forget to register as self employed if your company doesn't remove tax at source! Or face a fine.

Mum's said I can sell anything I find in the loft towards the challenge :j

ff - I think larger clothes tend to do better than smaller ones

remember if you do register as self employed by default you will be charged National Insurance contributions (Class 2). If you are already employed you'll be paying class 1 at source (one would hope).

You can apply for a SEE (small earnings exemption) certificate if you believe you'll not be earning up to the lower earnings figure of £4,635 per year (for the 2007/2008 tax year). If this is the case you'll also need to fill in :- http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/forms/cf10.pdf and send that off too. Alternatively you can contribute class 2 NI voluntarily or if you're going to be over the limit you'll have to contribute class 2. The beauty of this is HMRC told me today that as I pay class 1 this extra work and taking an SEE will have no effect on any benefits I may be entitled to in the future: that said it'd be wise to give them a call to check your own situation.

Just need some jobs to roll in now...anyone need an IT system developing?

Cheers.
