Hi guys i posted a few weeks ago asking others how they did their books and what catergories they used because i love neatness and order.(but am an untidy person and a sloppy thinker). Once i 'crack' something though it tends to stay pretty muchcracked.
Some of the catergories that you mentioned such as finance i don't use so you may haver to give this a couple of tweaks.
What i've done is take the questions off the tax return form, and then put names to what i believe these shoud include. I printed out A4 sheets with the cat names and stapled all the relevant receipts to these, and then listed them on two further sheets.When added up these figure appear on the table shown here, and in turn these are totalled.When this is done, all that is needed is to put these figures into the online form.
Not all of us will be quite the same, but this may help a few that are unclear. I look forward to your comments.
I've converted this file to pdf so i hope it shows.

I actually was going to do a 'how to sort out your expenses', guide, but I never got round to doing it, but that spreadsheet Slumpy provided (thanks, I may use it) looks good; though I do mine different.
Anyway, here's a simple tip for getting your expenses together:
If it's not already A4 sized, then make it A4 by stapling them to a blank piece of A4 paper.

I then put them in date order, number them, and input each separate one onto a large spreadsheet that breaks down fuel, postage, phone, etc; and it adds it all up for me.
The finished pile looks like this:

I'm fairly organised (and tight), so even small items I'll put down as expenses and then I'll check through each payment voucher (receipt) and write the amount applicable:

By the way, even though there's a cannabis leaf on my tobacco tin, I don't smoke illegal drugs (though some may suspect I do). I was faced with a choice of a Welsh dragon or a drug emblem, and opted for the druggie tin!

I don`t know how it`s done but it`s an accent not a cedilla....I think.

Voilą! There I've done it again ;D
Took me a while to work it out :-\
What it is seems to be is a built in spell checker when you use Google Chrome. I can't do it on aol - spell checker doesn't appear.
