subjectRegarding my web-shop

Hi,
I have a web-shop, (www.godtebutikken.net), where I sell Glacier Mints and other sweets, to Norway, since they’ve quite recently stopped selling Glacier Mints in the shops there.
I haven’t had much money to use on marketing, so I only get about one order a week.
(Something like this).
Mark, at the Jobcentre, in Williamson Sq., in Liverpool, said the webshop was a hobby, and I didn’t need to update the Jobcentre, about this webshop.
I’ve since moved to Sunderland, since I planned to study here, (I’m an old student from the University of Sunderland).
The University and I have had a dispute, (which I’m not going to go into detail about), so I’m now not going to study anyway.
So I’m still a job-seeker.
But Anita Ford, at the Jobcentre, here in Sunderland, wanted me to tell the Jobcentre, as soon as I earned money on the webshop.
It’s just a few pounds a month, which I normally earn.
(And I had some loss around Halloween last year).
Do you have any courses in accounting, that I could go on, so that I know which expenses I can deduct etc., for the web-shop?
Since I have to walk to different shops to buy the different sweets, can I deduct like shoes etc., I’m wondering.
Do you have courses regarding running businesses I was wondering.
Hope you can clear up about this, since I don’t have much founds, and don’t want to risk a sanction in my Jobseekers Allowance due to e.g. a misunderstanding surrounding the webshop.
Hope this is alright!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
