    So, on the receipt from our meal out, the two free drinks were itemised at £8.30 each (£16.60 total) so do I put that value as the "made" amount?

    What category does that go under?

    Many thanks @I_Love_comps

    But, in the start of the thread, it says "FREEBIES (VALUE OF)"

    So, is this not a freebie?

    One more week of February left to go. I've still got loads to put on Vinted and a few small things on FB Marketplace. I've got a couple of things that may be more suited to eBay so may give that a go soon and we are going into CEX next week with a few bits and pieces. I still haven't got around to Etsy (were does the time go).

    Hope everyone has a good week next week.

    £395.00 - Facebook

    £85.00 - Vinted

    £12.00 - Market Research

    £49.71 - Top Cashback

    Feb Total so far: £541.71

    Overall: £939.71 / £2,026
