Jumping into June... Earn £10 a day thread

[rhij86]

Morning all,

Thought I'd start a new thread for June as I couldn't see one that had been done yet. Ignore if I've cross posted!

I'll post the links for all the sites shortly, but for now here's a link to the last thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/legal_money_matters/4252763-2nd-Part-of-Mays-Earn-10-a-day-thread

All welcome, new and old alike - let's start the summer off with a bang and get earning those pennies! Hope everyone has a good month.

I've managed to scrap 15 hours on SD and do 17 hours overtime at work so I'm well happy this week. I was very happy to see my Appen payment this morning too.

@Adelais I'm sure you put Appen or something like that in your Payoneer account..

Been off here for a couple of weeks - no Am'r for me this month I have had a load of shite for the last couple of months but I do enjoy it! Ah well.
Potato is quiet, same old same old. I've asked ClickW to reinstate my UHRS login as I've been locked out but I don't hold out a lot of hope for making much there. I just feel like it's a really hard slog atm and tbh I'd rather be sunbathing 🤣

Has everyone on here been paid by App*n??? My invoice was approved but I haven't been paid!

@Gatekeeper

Monday :) usually 14th/15th

Not paid yet either @Gatekeeper

@CocoPrivileges

Not paid yet either *@Gatekeeper*

Ok I have been paid, just checked Payoneer

Ah - just checked Payoneer and I have been paid! I didn't get an email this time though which is weird! Thank you @LoLo2020!

I got paid yesterday (from Appen)

Haha. I got told off for going over the 20hrs by 2hrs on SD. And funnily enough I got an email saying I hadn't inputted my hours for the same week. Communication on this project is really odd! Lol. I still like it though.

I also got paid yesterday but never received the email from Payoneer.

Tut tut @YonderTweek fancy getting told off lol.

I also got that email. It's all very contradictory isn't it.

@AnotherOne4, glad you bought something nice too. It's good to treat ourselves when we've worked so hard.

Right so off to do 6 hours on SD on a beautiful, sunny and hot Saturday!

@AnotherOne4

Tut tut *@YonderTweek* fancy getting told off lol.

I also got that email. It's all very contradictory isn't it.

I was slightly miffed because I was the one who emailed them asking what to do with my 2 extra hours, but no one got back to me. Never mind!

It's such a nice day and I can't bring myself to do anything. I think I'll sit down and do a spot of SD before tonight's game. I can do this! Haha.

Come on @YonderTweek you've got this. You can do it!

I've got 30 mins left, and that's my 6 done for today.

Thanks @AnotherOne4 And well done you! Enjoy the rest of your day!

Well done ladies!
I'm trying to drum up the motivation to peel some potatoes

@YonderTweek

Thanks *@AnotherOne4* And well done you! Enjoy the rest of your day!

I must admit it's hard to sit here and do it when it's so nice outside.

@AnotherOne4 You have some willpower! I was out eating ice lollies earlier. I never do the 6 hours because I just can't due to childcare and life (wish I could!) but luckily I've been ok getting an hour in in the mornings and then 2-3 in the evenings. Although my husband is getting a bit sick of me sitting here clicking our evenings away. I keep thinking get the hours in when the project is still on because it will end eventually!

@YonderTweek I can only do six hours a day at the weekends. During the week I struggle to find the time, so I like to get a good chunk done and dusted. Plus, if work runs out, I know I've done my hours

Can I ask people, what do you do about tax? I have googled and looked a bit on HMRC website - do I need to set up as a sole trader? I already pay tax on my 'real job' through PAYE and obviously I want to line up everything so I can pay proper tax on this, but I'm not sure what the first step is.

This is very much a 'side hustle' and won't replace my regular job, but SD is going well and I'll be past the 1k threshold in the next month or the one after, I should think, so I want to be prepared.

@feckinarse, you need to ‘register for self assessment’ on the gov website. The first time you register, they will send you a unique tax payer code which you’ll then use to log in online and file your returns.
I have an almost full time job as well and this is a side hustle for me but I made over 3k from it last financial year so I completed my first self assessment last week. It was straight forward.
When completing the form, there’s a place where you’ll tick that you’re employed as well. I needed the total income and total tax I paid in my day job last year and I got the figure from my P60.
The rest of the process is entering the total amount I earned from this and deducting the 1k tax free amount and it calculated the tax I need to pay and it told me the deadline for paying it. You can also make the payment online using your debit card.

That's really helpful, tohave, thank you!

Thanks for posting all that @Tohaveandtohold. I'm interested in learning about all this.
Do we only fill out the tax forms once a year?
Your current employer doesn't need to know anything about this, do they?

@AnotherOne4, no, your current employer does not need to know.

Before it calculated my tax, it asked if I want it to be taken from my PAYE tax next year ( I think that’ll mean they will contact my employer to change my tax code) but I selected the No option so it worked out my tax.
I already put 20% of every thing I earn aside so I have the money to pay it without this messing with my tax code.

There’s a video on the gov site as well that you can watch before completing your returns and it’s very helpful.

Thanks @Tohaveandtohold
One more question so for all the money we earn between now and May 2022, we can fill in a tax form in April 2022?
