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.
