    No more lucrative freelancing lined up unfortunately, just a little bit of piano teaching, but it will all add up. I've got started with a little bit of vinted selling today too.

    Revised totals:
    Loyalty rewards for coffee £20.40
    Retail cashback £43.76
    Loyalty card reward £10.50
    Winnings £25
    Roadkill £0.12
    Total £99.78
    #55

    After a dry-spell a bit of a spree of activity.
    • Two wins £22.50 + £22
    • Coffee paid with stamps £1.65
    • Cashback £6.74
    This brings my updated totals to:
    • Loyalty rewards for coffee £22.05
    • Retail cashback £50.50
    • Loyalty card reward £10.50
    • Winnings £69.50
    • Roadkill £0.12
    • Total £152.67

    I'd also like to check some things whether they count or not.

    I sold my car, so can I count the money for that, plus insurance refund and road tax refund?

    I also saw others counted water rates and council tax payment holidays, but that is not really "make" but just a cash-flow thing?

    Finally, people have counted reduction by shopping around for insurance renewals - again, does that count as "make"?

    A little update from me.
    • Four coffees purchased using stamps / beans, total £10.20
    • Sold the car £1,050 plus £75 VED refund, total £1,125.  Insurance refund to follow.  This makes a big helping hand to the total for the year.
    Updated totals:
    • Loyalty rewards for coffee £32.25
    • Retail cashback £50.50
    • Loyalty card reward £10.50
    • Winnings £69.50
    • Roadkill £0.12
    • Sold car £1,125
    • Total £1,287.87
    I was not sure about putting the car sale in as I think I maybe will get a new car, but I've been a month now since sale and using the train has been fine.  I also found a car sharing app near me - there is a local car listed at £40 per day to use that so I might give it a go when I next need to do a trip for work that does not suit the train.  I am starting to think that selling the car does count.
