I set up a mail order business from home selling children’s party ware, wooden toys, craft kits and bedroom accessories. I also attended charity events with the goods and worked from a market stall, selling the goods and keeping a record of cash sales. This also involved ordering and monitoring stock, keeping detailed accounts and completing and submitting a tax return at the end of each year. I closed my business ready to move to Scotland.
