work for nhs FT but opp to work self emp on side .. how does income tax work?

hi,
just after some advice from anyone who may have experience of this please!
I work as a staff nurse full time for the nhs, but have the opportunity to earn some extra cash as a craft I have done for my own pleasure apparently is in demand from others! A friend has suggested we sell some at craft fairs (she is an artist so has some lovely work to sell) but im unsure about how to deal with the tax side of things.
as im a single parent to 3 teens with no other income, money is very tight so I cant afford an accountant, but wondered if anyone could advise me on how it works?


I really appreciate any advise or guidance anyone can give,
thanks in advance,


twt :)
