Especially because the earnings were paid by cheque, and you can show that such cheques were banked, there is no problem including those earnings.

However, and this is not you, if someone gets earnings in cash, well that can be more problematic, because it is more open to question, and thus open to being totally imagined, and fraudulent.

You need to show documentation around it ... talk to CA, letters , etc... little painful .... if you can live without it then it would be safe and simple.

BTW: Given that salary level has been raised ... many people will be showing side / part-time to meet salary level .. so UKBA are going to be very specific and strict on paperwork ....

There are lots of thread in the form where people have shown part time work and very similar to your case .. search and you will get all info.
