    Forgot to mention that I have invested around £900 in IT equipment for the SE work this year, too, plus some other ongoing expenses (only around £100 worth). How would they affect that end figure?

    Thanks Littlebiz for the quick response and info. I'll take a look at those courses and books suggested.
