I am not sure that time off would be allowed

Otherwise every carpenter/builder/shopkeeper would do it too

If you choose not to charge your parents I don't think you would (effectively) be able to charge the tax office (& by implication tax payers for 21% of it)

I would check really carefully with the tax office about that one

Thought of some more!....

Advertising, stamps, envelopes, recepit books, food and milk for mindees, bus fares.

Never thought of the time off one bonkers - is that ok to do?

I have just bought all mindees their own towel, cup and plate all colour coded and put these on expenses.

Any toys, dvds, books, ncma goodies (just got magnet badge), stickers, posters, etc.

never thought of small animal food and bedding:

we got a rabbit from rspca a while ago and this week he had to be pts...

do you think i could add £22.40 (vets fee) £10 (pet crematorium) and £2.00 (2 boxes of tissues for dd, aged 6) to this months expenses?? or would that make me a heartless cow..

(r.i.p. mr. cuddles..)
